Whats all that crap? It said on the front page that anybody could edit this place. Now you are trying to bury me in regulations. Do I have to read all that red tape? No. Then forget about it. I thought this was a user owned service. Its not even user friendly. My friends were right. This place really is run by fascists. Edgeseeker 06:10, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
- The only so-called "regulation" he posted was to sign your posts -- and that's not even a regulation, it's just a formality. It is easier for users to understand who posted the message if you sign it. Wikis require at least some guidelines, otherwise it would be a complete and utter mess. --FireV 02:58, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
Rubbish. He wants me to read volumes of rules created by so called administrators. If this was truly a place where visitors had a say in how things were written then it would be based on equality. Everybody I know who has visited this place has complained thatr the administrators are nasty little bullies who insult newcomers and treat them condescendingly. Deleting their hard work and often stealing it. Whole pages are created by users and then summarily deleted only to reappear under a new author. What's the angle? You planning to make advertyising revenue one day and want to secure your rights to important pages? To give an example wasn't the Bindi Irwin page deleted on false pretences and then recreated weeks later as if the original had never existed. Idea thieves are the lowest. No wonder everyone is leaving Wikipedia. Edgeseeker 06:10, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, now you're full of it. No wonder people think you're a sockpuppet of Universe Daily. --FireV 00:03, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
