We will not require ANYONE to register. It is my understanding that when Foss started the wikis for Seekers Notes and Secret Society, she did not want to restrict participation and in fact encouraged it.

I can not help but reflect on the way I was treated when I first came to Seekers Notes from Secret Society. Even though I was a registered member, I felt like I was being attacked because of the name I chose, CantWin4NutN. This treatment made me feel like I was immediately seen as someone with nefarious intentions. I appreciate people that love our wiki and are always on the look out for the occasional nefarious disruptors but please keep in mind, not everyone is a disruptor. I prefer to welcome everyone until it is proven I made a bad judgement call. I really dislike making hasty decisions (except for profanity) and I apologize for my delayed response.

The latest disruption over the wording of a thread by a Fandom User has me shaking my head. I have taken the time to look at the concerns from both the thread creators point of view and the repliers point of view. My conclusion (which will make some mad, some not) is the creator did nothing wrong other than the way the thread was perceived by some. There are endless possibilities as to why the creator wanted his thread to be so regimented and I find it disheartening that some responders chose to do, what could be perceived as spiteful, the opposite of what was requested. I can hear the screams if the shoe were on the other foot. I think there is a perfectly good explanation for the first two posts having the same IP address. My husband and I both play SN, we each have our own game and we both have the same IP address. Just like everyone has their own way of playing their game, users of the wiki have their own way contributing.

Neither Meohmy nor myself can monitor every, single post on the forum and largely rely on inappropriate posts being reported to us. I have tried to monitor the wiki activity closer in the past week although I have been extremely busy in real life. Christmas is only one week away. I found one post which was probably done to disrupt the harmony and I am watching that thread and IP address. If anyone finds posts that need an admins attention, please use the following link:

When reporting, please include a link to the post or let us know how we can preview the post. We have to see it to be able to take action. Thank you, Diana
