I'm just trying to prevent you from doing stupid mistakes. I say this from experience, bad things can happen if you're harsh, I learned it the hard way. Also, authority is bound to be insulted, it is an admin's job to take it all with calmness and try to resolve the situation peacefully. You think that I'm attacking you? Why, I'm just trying to help you, what I give you are advices, you may take them or not, that much is your choice when it comes to this. But don't forget that we are also a team and as a team, it is important to help each other. That's one way for I contribute to this team.

Sincerly, even when I was administrating without powers as "the other authority" I've had my lots of insults. But each time I resolved the situation peacefully and made things advance further towards stabilization. The vandal who started attacking this wiki last year wasn't kind in words about my person, you neither when you submitted your first pastas. You both treated me like an ignorant tasteless moron. But I took it all and we've come to an understanding in both cases. You started writing amazing pastas and the other wrote an acceptable pasta as an excuse and stopped bothering us!

Like I said, 1 year on first ban is inefficient, it uselessly raise up tensions and calls for vandettas through other means from an affected user. The best are short bans of a week or a month IF the member doesn't cooperate. I'm telling you this because I don't want this wiki to die. I've seen many communities die because of too harsh staff, wikis, forums or both. I can tell that it won't end in a good way if we jump on every single person who commits to such acts.

Finally, I'll repeat what I often say: "I'm always a little harsh when I speak, but it's for a great cause"

Edit: btw, kuman changed the ban from one year to a week as he agreed with me on that one.
