User blog:ZackAttackX/Wins and losses (Part 2)

I can’t believe I actually have to bring this up again.

This wiki, once upon a time, was dedicated to people who enjoyed writing battles between their favourite fictional characters, without the pressure of “getting it right”. But it seems as though those days are long gone now, and people are only concerned about who wins and who loses. Where people will simply scroll down to see who won and base their opinions on that. It seems as though the common mentality nowadays is to write battles to simply “rectify” a character’s win/loss record, which defeats the original purpose of the wiki. It eventually reached the point where we had to put it on the Rules and Guidelines page, explaining that the outcome of the battle is irrelevant, in the hopes that people would be able to look past them and go back to appreciating the effort gone into the battle. Unfortunately, this proved ineffective, and people to this day continue to whine and complain about wins and losses.

Well, enough is enough.

As of today, there will be a zero tolerance policy regarding complaints about a character’s record, and anyone who violates this rule now will be getting a 1-week ban. Repeated offenses will increase the duration of the block. I didn’t want to have to resort to this, but frankly, I don’t know of any other solution to this problem, which I can’t help but feel partly responsible for, as I have let people get away with this for too long. I would also like to ask everyone to help remove the Battle Record section from every character page that has one, as these statistics are one of the greatest sources of salt on this wiki.

This will be added to the Rules and Guidelines page as well (not that anybody actually reads it, but hey ho).

I would've put this in the Forum section, but Fandom's giving me the middle finger at the moment.

Thanks for reading.
