Discussion Pages

[k9870]

on the COD:Black ops page, fivetwoseven decided to just start deleting posts when they arent directly about guns. The discussion pages have always been for general talk about a movie, tv show, or video game. So now things like "I think it was a good cast." will be delted, but saying "yeah thats a famas in the screenshot" are allowed to stay. Hes jut started delteting posts at will like he owns the place.

New users randomly deleting posts that aren't a part of THEIR threads (like people answering a question that THEY posted, if someone answered YOUR question, you can delete the thread after it's been answered), is FORBIDDEN.

Tell him to knock it off or a MOD will ban him temporarily.

Why on earth would somebody even think to bother with editing a discussion page???

I hope I got through to him. It's best to be polite at first. Then if that doesn't work, harsher measures need to be used.

BTW, a quick thought...

Actually, I'm not so sure that's such a good thing. On most Wikis, discussion unrelated to the topic of the page is not allowed. That's not to say it doesn't happen (I'm looking at a Wikipedia page now where people express opinions), but it's not really the norm.

Also, remember that just because the Mods have tolerated something in the past doesn't mean it's a good idea. We're humans, too, and we live and learn. It might be worth considering whether we want to ensure that the focus of the Discussion pages remains the guns in the movie/TV show/game in question.

On the other hand, FiveTwoSeven has no right to run around acting like he's a Mod when he's not (and making giving us real Mods worse reputations than we already have).
