Board Thread:News and Announcements/@comment-7167230-20131017002953

As all of you have seen recently, there has been a disagreement between quite a few users. The situation has been resolved of course, but this is something you all should read, just incase this situation happens again. Confession0791 has talked to you guys about this, as did DoubleCross♥ and I. After taking another look at this disagreement, I've seen that both DoubleCross & I warned you guys to stop, but that was ignored. That is unacceptable. You must listen to the admins, they have power over you, but that was simply ignored. Because this whole drama involved a fair amount of people, we'll let it slide. But there's one thing we have to talk about.

We need to review the wiki rules. Most of you probably haven't read it recently, or at all. Because of this whole situation, the rules must be addressed, again.

You must read the rules!

This whole thing was situated on ship-warring. As all of you should know, it is not tolerated on this wiki.

If you any of you felt about offended in any way, talk to an admin. It's not a hard thing to do. If an admin does not reply soon, just ignore the situation and wait for the admin to be notified. Even if you tried to stop it, it'll only make matters worse. Attempting to fix it will too. Apologizing for other users or telling someone to ignore that user will not fix it. More conflict can be resulted by doing this and the argument will keep continuing.

An admin will stop it.

Do not try to on your own. If an admin warns you to stop, you stop. But if you continue to do it anyways, this means you are going against the rules, which is very unacceptable and won't be ignored. Depending on the negativity of the situation, you may just be given a warning or you may immediately be banned. Always depends. Unless of course, you were given warnings before, but you continued, then this means a ban too.

Second of all, as DoubleCross mentioned, ''you must have solid evidence that there is sockpuppeting, if you wish to show an admin. please drop any theories against users. It has also been pointed out that it does not matter if sockpuppeting is taken place, it's what the users do with the accounts. ''Exactly the point. If you believe it, you must have proof. If not, there is no other possible way to prove it.

This sockpuppeting thing may be happening on another wiki, but if it doesn't affect us on this wiki, it means nothing on here. There might be conflict with that situation, but it's on another wiki, which I understand. And which is why it doesn't matter here. It matters there only.

Lastly, you all seem to forget opinions and facts. An opinion is neither wrong nor right, it's something that comes from someone's perspective. It is an opinion. But if it were something that is actually true, something that can be justified and is in reality, then it is a fact. I don't see how you can't tell the difference between the two.

This was mentioned in the argument: No one was right or wrong. One expressed their own opinions, as did someone else, but no one was right or wrong. It did not, does not even matter at all.

Because of this, the argument kept going. Some users tried to prevent this from continuing, others also tried to defend users, but because of everyone's actions, the argument continued.

As I said in the beginning, and as all the admins mentioned:

If you have a problem, contact an admin.

It doesn't hurt to do so, and you can stop the arguement from continuing, or even from happening.

I would like to point out the wiki rules again. Even if you have read them mulitple times again, please read it again. It's good to keep it fresh in your memory. Adding on, I updated the rules. You must read the updated version. If you ignore a rule and break it, but didn't know it was a rule, that is not excuse. You must read the rules.

If you still have a problem, or have an additional thought to this, comment below or leave me a message.
