Nobody's shown their disinterest. In fact, I repeated myself multiple times about the best way you can change things. If you don't want to make a suggestion, then don't, but don't blame imaginary disinterest. I can't force you to make a suggestion, and I can't force you not to make a suggestion. It's your fault if you don't suggest a change, period. The status quo is maintained because of your inaction, not due to the admins' lack of mind-reading abilities.

We allow for some leeway when it comes to discussions veering off-topic. In that particular instance, Ben10fan3 used his judgement and, I'm assuming, couldn't decide whether to post as a member (meaning, ask people not to go off-topic) or as an administrator (meaning, tell people not to go off-topic), so he went with member. Your comment was in reply to his, with a vague complaint about the way the wiki is run (like you're doing here), in spite of the fact that his reply was not in any way, shape, or form, a warning from an admin. So yes, you did blow it out of proportion.

The way I responded is based on the fact that every so often, new members pop up and start complaining about the fact that they're not allowed to do whatever they want (we've had someone literally say that). They cry out "freedom of speech" or some other concept they don't understand, just like you did. They don't usually last long, since they insist on breaking the rules, and none of them have ever been able to articulate exactly what is wrong with the way the wiki is being run. I point out the Suggestions system, as I did with you and Great Ochoa, but they - yourself included - prefer to make vague complaints about "the wiki" and expect us (admins) to read their minds and figure out what the problem is.

I've actually spoken to a few of the users here since we last had a topic with users' complaints, and they've all agreed, the wiki is better.
