User blog:Ragadorus/That sad tale known as power abuse...

Hey all, Raga here, local chatmod and guy who talks in third person.

This blog will be related more to fanon than here, but, unfortunately, I can't post it on fanon, due to being banned.

So, as many of you know, we recently changed leadership here, but the old leaders remain in power on the RWBY fanon wiki, where many of us go.

Recently, in a blog post, I posted a poem made by DragonBossGala in skype. However, this blog was soon removed by Hope, one of the 'crats over on the fanon.

Her given reason for deletion of the blog and my banning was "Obscene material"

Now, I don't see how A, this blog contained said material, or B, why I would even be banned for it, as, when I referenced the rules, there was no rule against it.

The most offensive line that one could consider in the poem was "Oh! Bossoms, even mountains crone with hideous envy!" which really doesn't cross the line into obscenity whatsoever.

Of course, my ban prevented my usage of messaging her, preventing us from debating this personally.

Now, when I referenced the rules, the closest thing she could have cited was " All fanfictions that may contain content unsuitable for ages under 16 must have a clear warning and age rating."

Now, there was no age rating, but there was also no under-16 content in the poem. Not to mention, this applies only to fanfictions and has no relation to blog posts whatsoever.

Now, the ban itself isn't as bad as it could be, being only for 24 hours, but it's more the principle behind the abuse of power than the results of said abuse.

When wikia staff promoted our current main 'crat of fanon, Tsubori, to his position, they left Hope in power, as it was not clear wether or not we wanted her out of power.

At the present time, I believe this to be a mistake, as we already knew from her sockpuppetry as Rain here of her abusing power prior to her being banned from this wiki.'

Post what you think of this issue - please, keep in mind that if you weren't here for all that drama, you probably don't know the whole conflict.

Hope to see you all in chat,
