Hello Cosmos,

Thank you for your message. I honestly do appreciate hearing your opinions.

First of all, I was asked by several people to not give up on the wikia, to stay around and try to be a voice for peace and being nice to each other. I had to get away for a few days anyways as the anxiety level here was really exacerbating my PTSD and other health issues. But sometimes you have to have a spine and stand up for what you believe.

I started the petition to see how people feel about moderation. There is obviously a problem with this forum because so many discussions descend into arguments. By offering a solution instead of just whining about the problem, this opens the door to productive discussion to make the wikia a nicer place where folks who love a game can come to share tips and have fun.

MeohMy will be an AWESOME admin!!! I think her post in that thread that you mentioned should be required reading for new members!!! Excellent points and tips!!! However, on most forums, the admin and mods are separate jobs so that there are some checks and balances of power.

And as to your final point about putting another riff into members, well my hope is that finding a solution  to ensure a peaceful forum justifies the birthing pains that might entail. There is a problem and we need to fix it. There are groups butting heads who don't like each other and we need to set aside personality conflicts and just stop bickering and arguing and start having fun again! If anyone has a better solution than a moderator to put an end to all the nastiness then I would very much like to hear their ideas. We are here to have a good time and this fighting really needs to stop, don't you agree?

Thank you, Cosmos, for expressing your concerns and opinions calmly and rationally and without becoming angry. I agree with just about everything you said and now once you have read this, you might better understand my point of view.

Is it time to go play and gift now, LOL? I'm hoping for a mustache today!

Terri
