Hi.

I seen that EDB has not yet learned the art of diplomacy. "Frankly, most of your articles MAKE NO SENSE WHATSOEVER AND MOST SUCK. Please learn the format or stop editing."

So I'd like you both to read this.

1. As the primary bureaucrat here, I can ban people on a whim and I choose not to. This is because I believe that no one user should be banned just because they are difficult to work with. If that were true, I'd ban Ethandabomb because he's not a team player. I ban people when they are maliciously destroying other people's work. Because Jorge is not, I won't kick him out.

2. quality of articles should not be the cause of a ban. The open nature of this wiki means anyone can join and edit. If this were a bigger wiki, banning new users would be impossible. Now, just because they are new to writing, doesn't mean we should ban them. Allowing them to stay gives them opportunities to improve.

3. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE MUCH MORE CRAP THAN QUALITY. It's a rule of life I invite you to look up. If a site can host anything, it will. I don't read most articles on this wiki for that reason. However, let's examine what a bigger site does to combat this.

4. Tagging and categories are important. Bigger sites allow you to find stuff quickly be having a minimum quality of articles and then marking those with a category. Now, I can see both of you happily rush to Jorge's articles and categorize them as "Crap. Don't read. Article Sux. Noob author. Idiot. No punctuation." and then wondering why you get banned because after all "Geniusguy said we should." No. Go through the wiki and find the best articles. Ones that are complete. Then mark them as whole articles. Tag them by genre. In fact, I created the BOX template so that you folks could tag articles with information sharing how complete an article is. If the best articles are tagged and the average to crap ones are not, everyone will easily find the best ones and the others will fade into the nether. This is how this website should operate.

5. Just because Geniusguy is in college now, doesn't mean he doesn't haunt the website now and again. Suprisemotherf*cker.jpg
