Hello Bennyhef234,

I do appreciate your trying to help with enforcing the discussions and it's policies, however I've started to have a little bit of an issue with your tone regarding these issues. You may not be conscious of it, but your attitude on the discussions seems to come off as though you think you control the discussion board yourself.

I recognize that you have been apart of the discussions for quite some time, longer than I have even, and you want to make sure people follow the rules and post topics that promote discussion (which, like I mentioned, I do still appreciate), but your means of doing so seem to come very close to breaking the very second guideline itself. "Be nice and treat people with respect."

Just to keep things clear, I'll give the most recent example. In a discussion that has since been deleted titled "MCU vs DCEU", you rightfully called out the person who created the topic for breaking the guidelines (thank you), then the person replied and apologized, claiming they were new and didn't know any better. But then you replied saying "everyone who joins the wiki should always read the guidelines and policies, there's no reason you haven't. Ignorance does not excuse negligence."

That is really what I'm trying to get at here, and it's something I've been starting to notice since that elimination game disaster two months ago. In regards to this incident, instead of accepting their apology and excusing them, you called them out for being "ignorant" and "negligent". For one thing, you have to understand that on the FANDOM phone apps, the guidelines are nowhere to be found, meaning a lot of newcomers don't even know they exist, and that certainly doesn't make them negligent.

I guess, what I'm asking of you is to use a less harsh tone, in general, while using the discussions, because being called "ignorant" and "negligent" is not a pleasant way to be introduced to a fandom. As I've stated twice already, I truly do appreciate your help with this type of stuff, but perhaps do so in a more forgiving way, because if this keeps up, I'm going to consider deleting those harsh posts.

Thank you for your time and understanding, WinterWolverine
