User blog:Jessie1010/Austin & Ally Wiki Weekly- May 21, 2012

Hey Austin & Ally Wiki users! It's that time of a new week again and we have a few things to share with you! We have a big change that we want to share with all of you that will affect many contributors to the wiki. From there, we have some reminders and small things to tell you. If you are a wikia contributor, I advise that you read on.

 Registered Users Only 

The admins have come to a decision that we are making the wiki user edited only. We feel that the wiki needs to be put under control more. The wiki is supposed to be a source of information for Austin & Ally fans. Not a spam party or a cursing carnival in the comments. Soon, the wiki will not allow wikia contributors or anyone without an account to edit or be able to comment on pages. I know that there is a frequent amount of wikia contributors who come here often and don't cause problems. But other wikia contributor's have other intentions. Sometimes the admins don't catch everything that they do and it makes the wiki trashy. We are just preventing any of that from happening by doing this. The reason we want to tell you guys this is so the contributors without an account will have time to think this through and make an account. The official date as to when this will occur is not confirmed yet. In the next weekly blog post, we will announce it. I can tell you that it probably will happen in a week or two.

 Comments and Blogs 

As the wiki grows more popular, the admins are growing more stricter. Part of our attempt to make the wiki more professional and cleaner is to make it user edited only. But we're not stopping there. The comments will be closely monitored. Whether you have an account or not, anyone has to power to write an inappropriate comment (if you're not blocked). Inappropriate comments will be deleted at once and the user will be blocked starting at 3 days. Depending on how inappropriate the comment is, most users will be blocked for a week. 3 days is the shortest we will go. Small exceptions will be made for any time less. We are being serious and we are not playing around. The comments are almost in jeopardy of being completely deactivated on the wiki. Do not abuse them. Also, please make sure your comments are relevant to the page. Any comment off topic will be deleted. Also, this isn't that huge of a problem, but please don't make pointless blog post. Any pointless blog post will be deleted. Here's an example of one: http://austinally.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:RossLynchFan:D/Austin_And_Ally_Songs. We don't have a problem with inappropriate blog post but as always, none of that. And as always, make sure your edits are not inappropriate and any user making those edits will blocked, 1 week being the shortest amount of time to be blocked.

Thank you for reading Austin & Ally Wiki Weekly! Have a great week everyone, follow the rules, vote for featured, subscribe to the Austin & Ally Wiki, and look into making an account if you don't have one already. Thank you!
