The Wiki is known in certain circles as being a font of incorrect information, a haven of thinly veiled homophobia, and there have been incidents of cyberbullying in the past. (ouch) Well... I really don't know what to do. People still believe that's all the wiki is... I think it's mostly misunderstandings, most of us have a relatively poor view of unsupported ships which happens to be mostly "gay" ones, we also have a really short fuse with BB, the one ship that might be canon aside from the confirmed ones, because of the uncertain nature inspiring so much assertions of it being canon in articles, causing most of us to fix edits here and there.

We also have had a good # of "new" users who try to start something over their head canons that get weeded out by most active users because their ideas are so out there during the seasons run, when we don't have time to explain that they are trolls trying to spread disinformation or just really self-deluded by their head canons inferring things that aren't there and using subjective bias in factual articles.

In other words, Optics aren't going to serve us with all the times we don't do something because they can cherry pick and mischaracterize our worst behavior.
