Wonder what would happen to several people's posts if I were

LOL, BD!! you just cannot stop

"...wink, wink, nudge, nudge,..." Why would I  !?! I still believe the HC  Wiki Community could benefit greatly form your expertise as for  "moderating" content, I  have no problems if the guidelines are  debated and adopted by our Community  and trust you will apply them impartially and within the limits of power deferred to you by said Community ... But if  you cannot handle disagreement then that's a whole different story ...

And you could be part of the Admin community  and avoid moderating content leaving more tolerant people deal with "admissible content" to focus more on the technical layout since privilege access would ease your work ...

I'm sad that you see it as an "either or" instead of contributing  with strengths while avoiding problems with what I perceive as shortcomings ( intolerance to whatever you PERSONALLY don't deem worthy or acceptable ) ... If so, I'm glad we had this discussion prior to you getting privileged access you kind of say would have trouble not abusing ...

I was  LISTADMIN on a LISTSERV on BITNET for years  and  had similar discussion on "acceptable langauge" and "enforcement of  guidelines" 20 years ago. It was a music related mailing list and as you know people tend to express muscial tastes and opinions quite passionately but I do remember one quote from a user sadly I don't recall:  "It is up to us to Netizens to create places worthy of our affection" ... And in that regard I think we share the same goal. We just have a very different concept of the "context": -From what I gather, you see the Wiki as a more "formal environment", like a suscribtion Website about the Hidden City Game where the Admin Team offers a "product" that needs to cater to HC Players like they were "clients". -I see it as a Community of Gaming Enthusiats pooling their knowledge together to the benefit of the  Hidden City  Players  Community at large where the Admin  Team works with and formemost for the said Community.

Both views are valid but it is up to the Community to decide which one they like more ... Hence the need for a place to debate it further ... It is not a judgement on what has been done before but rather a discussion on the future of the HC Wiki. I do firmly  believe we owe it to the numerous contributors that made this possible from day one  whether threy wrote 90% of the Wiki on only edited one Item position they are to be considered on equal footing that is how Wikis work,   Wikis don't have bosses they have volunteer "civil servant" to see at the day-to-day operations ... If you don't get that  then I guess I would have to vote no on giving you priviledge access ... I would consider a loss but an acceptable one in order to preserve the integrity of the Wiki spirit.

P.S. I re-read the thread and considering our past exchanges, I am sad to see that online bullying of those you disagree firmly with seem to be your go-to mode ... Talk about "negativity" ... Tolerance is an acquired skill that is never too late to perfect ...
