User blog comment:Gideoncrawle/ADMIN BLOG POST: Revisiting Rules, and The Future of Featured Quote/@comment-1441098-20120625004425

Okay, let me state my opinions on these topics, one by one, even though I am not an admin.

Character Pages - All of my character pages have meaningful content, including theme songs, audition tape, galleries of fanart/chapter scenes/etc, and lots and lots of trivia. I see this with most stories, but for some people, I do agree with you, and I think that your rule would organize things on this wiki a whole lot more.

Friendships/Relationships/Conflicts/Etc - I love this rule. If I had made one of those, it would be very useful, since I have a whole lot of character conflicts, friendships, and whatnot. This would benefit the wiki, so I support.

Multiple Pages for Characters - I don't really have any opinion on this one.

Placeholders and Whatnot - I currently have four stories: Total Drama Tokyo (my main story, and TD:SS will start after it, being most likely my final story), Total Drama Mythology (which will start very soon and have character pages up), and two collabs, where I'm not the lead writer, but I work equally with my collab partner(s). So, yeah, the three competition stories works. TDMythology hasn't started yet for me, because I've been semi-busy, but I do intend to start it by the end of July. This rule would work for people who write stories, then cancel, too, such as Reddy. XD

Story or No Story - YES. This is most likely my favorite rule yet. I see all of these noob stories all around the wiki which consist of nothing more than poorly worded summaries and barely-even-there character pages. I think that the admins should agree on what makes a story a story.

Foreign Languages - Yeah, most users here speak English, even if they're from other countries, such as Brazil, which we have like 4 users from. I've only seen one non-English story in my time on the wiki, so I think that every story should be posted in English.

Categories - More than one page in a category, and I think we should get rid of the "male and female characters" categories, and the plain "characters" one. They're pointless. Library character categories would be pretty cool, so I say yes to that. However, I do oppose the rule you've brought up about single-team categories. Maybe it's just because I have them, but I think that they help people know who's on what team, and not everyone can understand the elimination table, plus it's just helpful. IDK, though, you can take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Blocking - Yeah, I always thought that you should provide a reason for banning, and it should be a good reason, like they did something repeatedly. Such as, if some noob just said something rude, or called someone a bastard or something, they shouldn't be banned for like a week just because they did it once, but rather given a warning and then blah blah blah. If they continue to do it, then we can hit the banhammer.

FQ - I basically nominate quotes every month, in at least one of the two, if not both, voting sessions. However, they don't usually win. I've noticed your problem, Gideon, and I really want to keep FQ, since it's probably my favorite Featured. I think that if activity keeps dying like this, we can change it to a month, and if that doesn't work, let's just put it out of its misery.

Other Rules - NEW ADMINS. Yeah, Gideon, I really appreciate all of the work you do on this wiki, and everyone else does too. Same with Sprink. However, we really only have four or five active admins on this wiki, so yeah... Many users would most likely agree that we probably need some new admins, even if not for deleting pages and wiki maintenance, but rather enforcing the rules, and like people who are frequently editing or on chat would be work. They could just be responsible people who have shown adminly duties, and we haven't had any elections in a while.

So there are my two cents. Hope they're semi-agreeable.
