Board Thread:New on Minecraft CreepyPasta Wiki/@comment-25997078-20170923021545

I've been thinking about this hard, but now I realize that it's time to bring this rule out.

No more mentioning public enemies.

Public enemies are users, or groups that heavily threaten the wiki with spamming, vandalism or even creating duplicate wikis.

Mentioning, or even going as far as insulting public enemies is kind of a bad practice. It makes us look like barbarians to newcomers, and it just gives public enemies recognition, one of many things a public enemy wants.

Another thing I find is that many pastas contain one specific public enemy as the antagonist; ThatGuyEntity. This started out subpar, but quickly became unoriginal and annoying to see. This also stays with the first paragraph, that offending users, even if they have done bad things in the past, is a bad practice, driving newcomers away.

If you are thinking about who public enemies are, remember UAIH. Most public enemies are either underage, aggrovated, intentional or historical, giving the acronym's name.


 * Underage users are self explanitory, they have an age that violates Fandom's ToS.
 * Aggrovated users are users that get aggrovated easily, or can't take criticism, eventually insulting critics, leading into flame wars, and in some cases, evolves into wars.
 * Intentional users are users who attack the wiki on purpose, usually caused by trolls, spammers or even daredevils taking dares from their friends to flame a wiki.
 * Historical users are users who attack because they, or their friends, had history with the wiki.

ThatGuyEntity is most likely a UA (Underage and Aggrovated). Bullying a child by framing him in stories as the antagonist is rather immature and unoriginal, and obviously counts as cyberbullying. Remember, we are not barbarians, we are civilized users.

I think you know what to do now.
