@Chish: The reason is somewhat understandable, if you put yourself in their shoes. For example: Bob comes, and since anyone can contribute here, edits an article, trying to help. However, his edit is inmediately removed.

He asks "Why?". Then he's told "it was Speculation, we don't add speculation to articles". Alright, but then he looks around and sees Speculation in various articles, and when he asks about those, he's told "An admin put it there long ago" or something along similar lines.

Result: Bob gets the impression that the Admins are tyrannical, that they can do whatever they want while ignoring the rules they enforce on everyone else. Then Public Reputation is set, and most people try to avoid interacting with the Wiki and simply look at the info at most.

True, if they complain elsewhere instead of here, the staff cannot really be informed effectively, and then since they don't know the exact complains they wouldn't know in what to work on, what to change and improve.

But the reality is, the other sides of the Fandom don't like the RWBY Wiki. Tumblr, Reddit, and according to some users, even the FNDM in Instagram. Whenever the wiki is involved in a discussion, beyond "I got this info from the Wiki" or "If you don't know X, read this on the Wiki", it's almost entirely in a negative sense.

They don't complain here, because doing so would be like starting a fight, and they don't even like the place. But then, to quote LadAlwaysWatching: "How are the differences ever gonna be solved if all people do is assume the other party is a lost cause?"

This is why I defend Jacques when it comes to wanting to keep his family's PR as high as possible. PR is important, and can decide your future. With good PR, people like you, and are more willing to help you.

With bad PR, they will hate you, and will be more unwilling to help you. Even if you try to improve or do good, they will be mostly apathetic to your actions at best, and demonize them at worst.
