 * Peppermint Squash I don't think you needed to remove my vote
 * has joined the chat.
 * 3:12 Sgt D Grif It's the policy here
 * Nothing personal
 * 3:13 Peppermint Squash Just because I've never made an effort but visit the chat? That's a little unfair imo
 * whoops
 * Edit
 * 3:14 Sgt D Grif Literally any edit prior to the nomination's opening would have been permissible
 * 3:14 Peppermint Squash * Peppermint Squash facepalms
 * 3:14 Sgt D Grif It's a policy that's been followed to ensure fairness for the entire community.
 * 3:15 Peppermint Squash Where is this policy stated?
 * 3:17 Sgt D Grif The page itself is set to autoconfirmed, which is supposed to be users who have previously edited, however Wikia just does as it pleases regarding autoconfirmed.
 * There are past examples of this being enforced if you'd like to see them
 * 3:18 Peppermint Squash The only warning I had was that the page could only be edited by registered users, which I am
 * And I also believe that my vote, regardless of whether I feel the need to edit a page or 2 is still valid
 * 3:19 Sgt D Grif It's limitations of the mediawiki software.
 * While your views on the subject are valued, users who have not edited on the wiki before are not permitted to vote.
 * 3:20 Peppermint Squash Well, it now says I have 1 edit so....
 * And there is nothing to stop me from making another edit simply to prove this point is irrelevant
 * 3:20 Sgt D Grif Not prior to the nomination
 * 3:21 Peppermint Squash Well unfortunately I am going to argue your case further as this was never specified
 * Unless you specify this publicly and not to private knowledge then how am I supposed to know?
 * Therefor I request that you reinstate my vote AND perhaps consider making an article about your extra policies
 * 3:22 Sgt D Grif I'm afraid there's no further way to argue this situation. All our admins and bureaucrats agree to this policy. HOWEVER, it will be made more clear to users in the future.
 * 3:22 Peppermint Squash That's not good enough
 * 3:22 Sgt D Grif We're currently drafting revisements to the nominations, however we can't implement them DURING a nomination
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(106,106,106);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:23 Peppermint Squash And that's my fault?
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(106,106,106);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:23 Sgt D Grif No one is at fault
 * You aren't in trouble
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(106,106,106);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:23 Peppermint Squash Then why am I being penalized for something that I am unaware of
 * You must be able to see my point?
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(106,106,106);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:23 Sgt D Grif You have not been penalized
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(106,106,106);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:24 Peppermint Squash Yes I am, you have removed my edit
 * Without my consent too
 * I'm going to take this up with another mod. I don't feel like you're handling this well
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(106,106,106);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:24 Sgt D Grif You are free to contact another administrator, however they will all tell you the same thing
 * Keep in mind that chat moderators do not have authority over this
 * I'm sorry I couldn't help you in the way you wanted, but there's nothing that can be done.
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(106,106,106);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:26 Peppermint Squash <span class="message me-message" style="white-space:pre-line;color:rgb(106,106,106);">* Peppermint Squash shrugs
 * Then I've lost a fair amount of respect
 * And I'm sorry you couldn't have done a better job
 * In-fact no. Unless it is stated somewhere then I am going to vote. You don't have the power unless specified. I've read the wikis rules and policies and it's not stated anywhere therefor I am voting. You need to state you policy fairly for ALL to see and not to guess. If I were to walk into a store and smoke while a non-smoking sign is up then fine. If my country stated that smoking indoors is illegal and I still did it then agreed but unless stated then I have the right
 * I am going to ask you politely to reinstate your removal otherwise I am re-posting and if you remove it again then I am going to make a formal complaint about the way this wiki is being handled and it's community.
 * Also I would just like to point out that you are a 'crat are you not? Are you not an 'overseer' of sorts? You've let this slip and this falls on your hands now.
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(106,106,106);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:36 Sgt D Grif The situation has already been explained to you. Whether or not you agree with the how the wiki works does not put you above the way it works.
 * If you wish to file a complaint, you are free to do so.
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(106,106,106);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:37 Peppermint Squash Thank you.
 * A formal complaint has now been send to the wikia staff
 * I've copied this chat log just so they can hopefully shed some light on this issue and I hope it doesn't cause too many issues for you.
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(106,106,106);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:42 Sgt D Grif That's fine.
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(106,106,106);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:42 Peppermint Squash Thank you for understanding. <ac_metadata title="Policy"> </ac_metadata>
