User blog:SpaceWeather/Eh I feel as though I should say a few things.

Now what just happened on chat was ugly and very bad tbh. We had two of our most beloved users at eachothers throats and arguing like hell. This honestly isn't a rare sight though as this has happened all too often in the past month or so. Now I would like to give my opinion in a solid form that won't just be washed away in chat and can be seen by everyone. I have quite a few points to get across and I'm not going to stay silent on them.

Point 1: Arguments
They happen all too often and at times can get ugly and personal. Almost all of us have had a dispute from time to time and it usually ends up in various degrees of explosions on chat. These arguments are not only damaging to the wiki's reputation but are damaging to our community as a whole. I believe that any arguments from here on in should be settled by a different means than our usual explosions on chat. If heated feelings do occur between two users it'd be best to designate an area for them to talk out their differences away from everyone else so we all can be happier. Chatango was a suggestion and there are many other options tbh but I think we should impliment this. May I also state that we have mulitple rules against fighting such as... May I also state that only one person has been banned for breaking rules in the past month despite many people doing this.
 * 1) Behave like a mature user on Wiki Chat. The required age to be on the wikia is 13 years old. Even if you're underaged, you still must act the age.
 * 2) Verbally harassing users in anyway will not be tolerated.
 * 3) Respect other users.
 * 4) Do not purposefully start a fight or flame war, if you do by accident find an online admin to sort out the situation.
 * 5) Any rude or offensive behavior will be resolved with being kicked or banned from chat.

Point 2: Admins and ChatMods
I love all y'all and you know that, but I have to be strictly honest here so please don't attack me for this. In terms of the wiki Admins and ChatMods have been doing a fine job of keeping the wiki in order and doing their duties. On chat however the story is different as some Admins and ChatMods have neglected to follow the rules set by the wiki and do their duty. It doesn't matter what user breaks the rules, everyone should get punished accordingly for breaking them. If punishments were handed out accordingly we'd have one Admin and on ChatMod be banned from chat at this moment for breaking rules this wiki holds. We'd also have one user with a lengthened ban because of their actions. No matter the intentions or the user when rules are broken, action must be taken.

Point 3: Communication
There's a very severe lack of effective communication going on in the wiki... and this is honestly the biggest issue. Admins and ChatMods should be working side by side to make this wiki a better place to be, not arguing with eachother and tearing it apart. A lot of this comes from the way we present our issues to one another. Instead of yelling and being condescending we should just put forth our problems in a respectful and good mannered way. A lot of what just caused the big argument on chat was bad communication and the way an issue was presented.

Point 4: Punishment
Now the issues brought forth on chat was that all ChatMods and Admins should be informed if a ban is going to take place. This allows the individuals with power on this wiki to talk out how to go about a ban and allow them to effectively communicate with eachother. Everyone without a position should allow our Admins and ChatMods to do their duty and not instantly damn and criticize them but present their feelings in a way akin to what I'm doing right now.

That's all I feel I need to say and I do hope y'all see the truth in what I'm saying. I mentioned no names in this blog out of respect for the users I base this off of. We're tearing eachother apart guys... and I won't stand by and watch that happen.

Sincerely,

Vincent Ceasar aka Space
