Recently a respected wiki user and chat mod has been harassed for posting a blog about his favourite songs so much that he has decided to remove the content of the blog.

I am here to tell you how WRONG this is. This site is mainly about community, discussing a common interest, that interest being RWBY. The forums and chat often talk about this but both also talk about "Off topic" subjects. The Chat a lot more so then the forum. So when it comes to a User Blog it seems people are misunderstanding it's use.

First and foremost a blog is part of a user's own space, much like their message wall and profile. And as such they are free to do with it as the wish. Be it political views, a favourites list or a message about an absence. It's a BLOG, a way for a user to express their own opinions and feelings, it DOES NOT have to be related in any way to RWBY.

Next, if you read a blog and don't agree with it's content feel free to have an intelligent and constructive discussion in the comments. DO NOT post about how the blog shouldn't exist or tell the user to move it else where. It's a USER SPACE, and up to the individual user to do with as they please. Should the post spoilers, offensive content or spam it will be dealt with as anything else on the wiki, reported to an admin and removed/undone then a punishment or warning will be given out.

Finally, myself and some fellow staff members on this wiki have been appalled by the general reaction to a user expressing his opinions in music. We aim to create a welcoming and helpful environment for everyone who comes here, whether they are fans of RWBY or not. Please strive to do so as well or at the very least refrain from working against that goal.

Thank you for your time, Lauren
