Forum:Admin Question

So my question is because DP limboed blogs, and according to several people this wiki is a democracy, why did we not have a formal vote about it. 21:39, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

An admin has the authority and power to do such a thing. The bitching comes in later.

Take it or Leave it.

So rici you have changed your mind from the chat mod problem????????????????? 21:46, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

I said the bitching comes later. Just like back then, the decision was taken. Everyone else went against it AFTER IT WAS DONE :D. I hope you got that in your head now

The power to shut down all blogs was granted to DancePowder by Ap.ρ.I.λ-01 headmaster, this was discussed in the chat privately. We cannot object this, sorry, otherwise we will be left high and dry.

Democracy has its limits, deal with it. 22:16, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

Well, people are overloading with blogs, some of which can be a real bullshit and irrelevant to this wiki. So if you wanna write about other stuff, go to another wiki. Anyways, I think cutting blogs out may be a good thing, like Narutopedia doesn't have blogs, and look how nicely they turned out. 22:34, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

Its not the no blogs that really bugs me, Its the "I can't do my tournament". Unless Im authorized to doo it in a forum 22:38, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

I wouldn't mind if we didnt have blogs.. If other people agree as well, it deserves a vote.. But not here..

Someone explain why this is in line with wikia's policies http://i.imgur.com/lNgoF.png 22:41, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

I already said why. It is because you touch yourself at night. SeaTerror 23:17, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

Ahahahahaha sorry but I can't do anything but to laugh over the reason for why this forum is made. DP was given the authority to make these desperate decision in desperate situation and as Yata and Levi said that this situation was indeed one that needed a quick action before it turns into a mess that is hard to control and ends with few unfortunate bans. Plus .. (smells air) *sniff* *sniff* .. I am still alive without blogs .. its not oxygen. Democracy is sure above everything but there needs to a authority over it as well to keep it together and DP did what was right so I don't see point of this forum and would request to close it as soon as possible but if you want to discuss more then please be my guest. 23:50, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

Do we really need blogs? We can live without them. I'm actually fine without them and respect DP's decision. He has the power to make these decision and many do support this decision. Without blogs we can really start editing articles when many users only edits are on blogs. As many said in the chat, this is a wiki not a blog website and many forget that. This is a small issue that you are making it a big issue than it actually is. Also to clear anyone who saw the Tucky's picture, Tucky made a threat (Tucky pointed out the Terms of Use in the chat and found out that "You agree not to use the Service to threaten") but we do not take this serious and it was a April Fools' prank. There has been much worst pranks done today than that by far, so don't be upset by it.

May i remind everyone this is a wikia, not a blogspot or shit like that. We still have forums. Deal with it

People like me come here to just read or get the information from this wiki, and end up becoming a member, because there is so much more to it. I wouldn’t mind helping with the article edits whenever I can. It would be nice to have a blog section just for fun, but it isn’t necessary. I don’t know the details, but for whatever reason DP had to disabled the blogs, I respect his decision. I can’t help but to laugh where MDM is saying “I am still alive without blogs .. it’s not oxygen”…..ha…ha…ha

I don't mind not having the blogs. I noticed that without the blogs, more people are actually editing the wiki. Beside, like IH said, this is a wikia, not a blogspot, so deal with this. People can survive without blogs. We still have the chat and the forums. If you think you can't survive this, then go to Narutopedia and stay there for a week. They don't have any blogs or chat at all, and yet people are surviving it. Jademing 00:30, April 3, 2012 (UTC)

'''I'm really proud of you Tucky. You stood up against this injustice like a boss, despite having the majority "against you". You are a great example to all the butt kissers out there, and you are on a good way to become an A - class hater'''. 13:47, April 3, 2012 (UTC)

I hardly noticed that the blogs were gone until now lol. Not that I mind though, this is a wikia after all.176.10.225.231 14:06, April 3, 2012 (UTC)

The fact that anybody thought this "joke" was a good idea astonishes me. Not to mention that the way it was addressed in this forum, by people I'd really come to expect better of, appals me. "I noticed that without the blogs, more people are actually editing the wiki." Bullshit. If you look at the wa these last couple of days, it's only the regular editors, minus some others. If this was meant as an incentive to get more of the bloggers to edit regularly it has failed decisively.

I won't even address the issue of loss of sitetraffic this has definitely caused as you should all be able to know that yourselves, plus, seeing that this is only a wikiahosted site, doesn't matter to us too too much.

"May i remind everyone this is a wikia, not a blogspot or shit like that." websites evolve. I wouldn't mind a few more editors who knew wtf they're doing, but removing the main reason people actually start to edit on this wikia is one of the stupidest ways I can think of for doing that.

This also sets one hell of an ugly precedent in terms of admin power and the way this wikia is run, alleged joke or not.
