So they're saying we spread misinformation for writing something that the show has shown and we have no way to know that it's a super secret other power until it is explained what, a whole season later? And then we immediately changed it to reflect the truth. Just like anyone else who watched the show at the time, only here it was on a webpage instead of just in comments and tagged with "but it's just a theory bro".

And as for the cyber bullying, we’ll go ask the “Wasps”, or you know me since one of the lovely former fandom members called me a “Rat Jew” and mocked me worrying about my sisters safety. So fuck that guy. 2. Please, for the love of God, tell us when this sort of thing happens immediately. How can the staff help if they are unaware of problems such as this? We have Discord, multiple staff members are contactable through the RWBY Wiki Chat (even if you don't want to talk in chat itself). Just send us a DM if it's a wiki problem. I'm a Forum Moderator so I am meant to monitor the forums, but I'm also Australian and a lot of this stuff happens while I'm asleep and I miss it. We need more American Forum moderators, to be honest, to keep an eye on things during the active hours which happen to be 1am through 8am for me. 1. There is also the fact that some people become unhappy that we won't allow their theories on the pages, like a certain Cinder fanboy who insists his theories are canon fact.

2. Indeed, especially since racism and anti-Semitism are extremely serious, just like telling people to kill themselves. We can't monitor every single forum or comment thread, especially when we're at work, away from home, or asleep, so it helps a lot to report it when someone is behaving that way. That's why forum-based websites have a "Report to moderator" button on every single post. Unfortunately, wiki doesn't have that function.
