User blog comment:Tlhbba/A Big Rant/@comment-3403804-20130520150725

Let me make one thing perfectly clear, we do not decide which releases are or aren't appropriate. Nor do we possess the authority to just delete releases based upon our own disagreement, that would just be silly. However, we can and WILL point out our own disagreements and the flaws of the article itself, this is especially true when its redundant, far-fetched and silly. The other day I saw something ridiculous called the Jurassic Release which converted chakra into.. DINOSAURS!

I think a great part of why this is treated as something negative, is because most users don't want to put effort into their own work and when you make ridiculous articles with only a single sentences worth of explanation then we're obviously gonna have a problem with that. When you don't care about your own work, and instead deliver a half-hearted piece of text ripe with grammar and spelling errors, then I'm sorry, but we're gonna take offence.

In essence, I consider a large part of the userbase to simply be lazy. People who do not wish to actually make an effort and improve, and whom instead are content with just making page after page of random silliness, which the entire community will have to suffer through. And yes, we do suffer, I've talked to several friends of mine, whom all are highly accomplished roleplayers and writers refuse to start on this wiki due to the lack of good examples and abysmal quality. Since we began here, it would appear that the userbase puts more effort into their work, and likewise consider avenues and opportunities they didn't consider before.

Yet, you would want us to erase our steady progress in favor of making you feel more at home? No, I'm an Admin, which means I have to do what is best for this community and senseless approval of every half-assed release and technique is definitely not the way to go, it would just revert to being a trash heap again. I refuse to let it come to that, not after we've made such nice improvements.

That being said Tlhbba, its nice that you came out and voiced your disagreement openly. Contrary to popular belief, we aren't, and we'll never be a dictatorship so you're free to say whatever you like as long as its not outright insulting someone. Incase you were uncertain, you won't suffer any consequences at all for writing this blog, as its just you exercising your right to speak.
