I have read all the replies in this email thread. I agree that giving someone their way because they are in your circle of friends or you don't want to "stir the pot" is no reason to turn a blind eye on someone not following the editing guidelines. Theses guidelines were discussed on several different blogs and walls, which is not how they should be done and I voiced this opinion on MD's blog. They should have been done in the forums just as the "Work in progress" should have been done there and not by creating a new page with comments. I moved this and still people are responding with comments to a page creation...??

Sorry, back to my point of the editing guidelines. These were discussed, mostly only Redbeard had negative comments or issues and no wiki will please everyone, especially someone who is always looking for an argument all the time.

The way this Admin process works is we discuss and get a general consensus. Members do not get a final say on how those guidelines are implemented.....meaning put into the policy. Note the words and advice from Sannse:

"What you need to do is to keep doing what you feel is right for the wiki, in consultation with the other admins and, where appropriate, the rest of the community." - Sannse [Fandom]

"Admins make many decisions by themselves, always for the benefit of the community. " - Sannse

The admins here decided Kat would write the actual Content using all the information gathered and Redbeard went all over his wall and the forums saying the Admins just sneaked the guidelines into policy without consulting the members here... http://the-secret-society.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:527873       Well WRONG again! I posted a Thread called "For your convenience" here>> http://the-secret-society.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:525665  This was to gather all the discussions together in one place so not just Redbeard had the information, but everyone could read the information for themselves.

There has been nothing sneaky or underhanded done here by any Admin! This was discussed between all three admins and a decision has been made on editing guidelines and this worthless category project.

Categories on pictures is like adding useless information to appease one member for his benefit only. Just because RB can SHOUT the loudest and now singling out Admins, who are also members first, does not mean we should stroke him by giving him whatever he wants in editing, or by letting him treat any member with the disrespect or humiliation shown to Kat on the forums. For the record, Kat called me the night it happened (@ .75 per minute) and was crying so hard over this that I could barely understand her. Needless to say it was a brief call and we resumed the conversation with emails.

Point being, the week suspension or block is a two-fold Block for several editing violations. But most importantly the slandering of a member (not an admin) in the forums and me on his wall. There have been other people too. All these violations are within the structure of the Fandom TOU and the SSHM guidelines. I have ours on my profile page for reference.

Because you have so much going on in real life and have not been feeling well, I will do the block. I do not feel you are up to speed on all the information in the forums and all over the different walls concerning the two concerns, and quite frankly you are too close to the person involved. It is as you say, poor Kat should not have to take this on. I would appreciate the public support on this from you. Because members do not always visit walls, I wish to put a copy of the block with its reason on the SSHM board and close it, it would be for information purposes only. This way people will not feel they have been left out of any Wiki business and the admins are not trying to hide anything. The kudos on the thread from you and Kat will show the public your support.

This is not stirring the pot on anything....the pot has already been stirred by others. This is transparency. This is why that board was created. This is what Sannse always preached.
