Did you honestly just try to tell someone who has been here for years (and who became a bureaucrat a while ago) how things on the wiki are done? You've been here all of four days. I've been here all of four years.

Mr.Mandude wrote: Why do you think its called a "general DISCUSSION board"? So you can dicus something relovent and important to the page.

Discussions can be about anything. If you talk to someone about whether or not Ben is over six feet tall, you're having a discussion. If you talk to someone about whether or not blue is everyone's favorite color, you're having a discussion.

Mr.Mandude wrote: I was mostly directing these messages towards R&CFOREVER, who was being overly-critical. Calling omniverses's artwork "lame" "unoriginal" and "terrible". I think that if you have an opinion like that, you shouldn't post it here.

And I think that we should try to limit free speech as little as possible. That includes not censoring opinions that someone will disagree with, as long as they're expressed in a non-inflammatory manner. If R&CFOREVER had said something like "Everyone who thinks Omniverse is good is an idiot", he would have broken a rule. I have removed posts and warned the people who posted them about phrases like that.

Say you thought Deadpool was a bad superhero/anti-hero. Would you like it if your opinion was censored just because others disagreed? I assume the answer is "no".

Being overly-critical doesn't break any rules. Analysis is not a bad thing. There are tons of errors in episode articles that most people wouldn't even notice. Are we being overly-critical because we point them out?

I, for one, don't like it. The artwork is bad, period. So's the plot. However, I don't censor people who say that it's good (or even the best, as some have said before). I don't like the focus on Gwen and Kevin's relationship, but I don't censor people who like it and want to find others who like it as well.

Mr.Mandude wrote: Plus that sort of talk is supposed to be against the user treatment policy of this wiki, on creating unessisary conflicts.

It's creating a thread where people can express their opinions on a specific subject. If you want to control what opinions users can and can't express, I recommend you find another wiki and become the sole bureaucrat there.
