Most of the "editors" of this wiki seem to have forgotten it's a wiki. Not tumblr, not Facebook, and not a forum. The forum is available as a supplement to the wiki; it's not the primary function of this website yet the vast majority of edits on this wiki are in actuality people posting on the forums. A very miniscule amount of actual editing is done around here.

Now let's review blocks. How many times have each of you been blocked? If it's more than never, how many of those blocks have resulted from using this wiki for its intended purpose, and how many were from posting less-than-quality content on the forums?

Any blocks I've given have been completely justified. How about we all spend more time expanding the wiki instead of rabble rousing, starting flame wars and posting unproductive content to the forums. If we can make more than 50% the average daily activity productive edits to the wiki rather than forum posts, maybe there won't be a need for zero-tolerance policies regarding the forum.

1. Very clear warning

2. What we chose to add to the game has nothing to do with management of the wiki. They are entirely different entities.

Uploading copyrighted my little pony pictures about spam isn't productive. If you were trying to notify me of spam being present, you did it in an improper way. Just because somebody else spammed first doesn't make it ok for you to do it.

Edit: I noticed a few autocorrects I didn't catch this morning.
