::::::Maybe you should write that rule down somewhere; it is definitely not the first time you've cited it to me, and clearly it has not gotten across. Perhaps MysteryHeff? didn't know those rules for himself. (And don't try and and tell me that he does, etc., I haven't got around to looking at his contribs or talk page yet.) But anyway, a simple, non-patronising warning would have sufficed and possibly made a good/better/bestest contributor out of the guy. &mdash; <small>[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|<font color="#0000C8">THE TROM</font></small>]] &mdash; 06:20, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

::::::::The problem is that so many people on here are just kids. They don't know this stuff, it isn't taught in schools. I don't want to be the one putting you in your place but I honestly think that so many users on BP need to be a bit more considerate. DETH brought all this stuff up in his parodied welcome template: no one reads what we throw at them. That's true, for example I plan to never read (in depth) the MOS because it's simply too much text. People just want to jump in, and the fact that so many people on here are under 12 (target age of games and cartoons) means that it's just more likely that "unwritten rules" are going to be ignored, or more likely, unknown. After all, it's unwritten, which means that you only know about it if you're on what I would call the "in-crowd". By your reasoning, everybody on this wiki and most of the internet is failing "epically". &mdash; <small>[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|<font color="#0000C8">THE TROM</font></small>]] &mdash; 06:55, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

I want to help resolve disputes and ensure that power is exercised responsibly on this Wiki. Is there some way I can get to do this? I also asked Jioruji Derako just so you know. --[[User talk:Venomoth|☯ ]][[User:Venomoth|*Ɣℯⲛօӎօṫհ*]][[User talk:Venomoth| ☯]] 06:51, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
