... not comment sections. 99.67.45.81 wrote: This is to Kusanagi, why are you treating this person badly, I'm checking their numbers, and it seems like you enjoy blocking them, even though they were just trying to be nice here to other people, including this Crimera person they're speaking with. Also, whether you like it or not, people are going to share their thougts and opinions here, plus you just blocked someone for a comment back in July, where you actted like they did it yesterday. Finally, how are you in charge here, on something EVERYONE runs? I banned several IPs for posting the same old spam everywhere they could, for reasons I explained here. Anyone can post their thoughts, anyone can post their opinions, but for god's sake, they needn't post and repost the same things he did over and over again, especially when they (speculative wishlists revolving around XBlaze and English VAs, mainly) have no worth. Do I enjoy blocking this guy (or anyone, for that matter)? Not really, but when these things are tossed, it's for a reason. Unproductive speculation isn't something we generally keep in comments, and when it's posted time after time again, deletion sort of ceases to be a productive means of keeping it in check, so in these rare cases, I ban instead. I blocked him for a month under that IP, he continued under others, and finally, I realized that I would have to get rid of all IPs the wishlists were being perpetuated under in order to get it to stop. Given how neither the first block nor Кримера linking the policy produced a change, I simply extended the ban with all related IPs, so maybe that would.

I don't enjoy doing it, but tolerating wishlisting spam in the comments is hardly better than tolerating character comparison trivia. Neither one is particularly malignant, both are easily undone, but when a little is tolerated, it always seems to snowball. Rather than wait for the mess to get big, I simply clean it up as it comes, and most of the time, the people involved seem to get the message and move on. He didn't, and for all I know, that may not have changed. If not, that's sad. He did seem like a nice guy and all, but he lacked something important - the ability to learn, from his own failures and the chastising of others.

Finally, indeed, this is a wiki that anyone can edit, and so long as their contributions are productive, they're welcome to it. I, however, am (partly, along with Night Vision) in charge of ensuring that productiveness gets through, and spam and speculation don't. I may have lapses in that job, and if I do, I'd encourage users to speak up, but I don't feel this case is an example.
