Now, this is just my opinion, not hate. I am going to be sharing my opinions on the wiki community and some stuff that could improve.

Criticism:

One of the most idiotic, most retarded rules on the wiki is do not criticise a pasta negatively. You see where I am coming from right? The other week, H950sm posted constructive and helpful criticism on Gib7 which would help me improve. So why? Why the hell does it state in the ban durations page that negative criticism results in two days of block?!!

Of course, comments like 'this pasta is crap' and ''this pasta is so fucked up and was written by an asshole" would break the rules. But constructive criticism. Really?

Chat rules:

Chat rules are barely enforced. According to someone, somebody was advertising PORN in chat and got away. As much as I cannot confirm it as a true statement, chat needs to have rules enforced and followed. And apparently, recording someone saying hurtful stuff in chat and sending it to an admin is 'blackmailing'. What the fuck?

Underaged users:

Our wiki has had an increase in underaged users and I see no harm in that at all, as most are friendly and nice. However, they need to express mature behaviours and take important situations more seriously. If they express what you see in most eight year olds, they shouldn't be here. Let's use creepypasta believers as an example. Gridmerc told me most creepypasta believers are in reality probably pre-teens and I agreed with that. However, I see other pre-teens agreeing with the fact that these myths are fake and YouTubers use them for attention and revenue. So there are children who can be mature, some that cannot be.

Retirement:

The amount of users threatening to retire from the wiki is really awful. The fact that this community is not far from perfect if this post was taken into their consideration would keep users from retiring. If this keeps going on, we will lose a lot of users who have made good contributions to this wiki and will be missed. WE DON'T WANT THAT RIGHT?!!! Lemme take DanielMBurton as an example here. Dan was a good contributor to the wiki and a great person, but keeping the fact in mind he is retired now must be awful for those who knew him as a friend to miss him so much.

Anyways, this is my criticism of certain aspects of the wiki community. Thanks for taking your time to read this.
