GuildWiki talk:Requests for arbitration/Stabber and esan vs F G

Let me be the first to say, that as an avid contributor, I have been watching(reading) this little dispute play out. Since I have been here, I have seen some minor quarrels, but nothing of this magnitude. Although a complete stranger to those involved, I would have to say that anyone that read any of this dispute is dissappointed in those individuals. GuildWiki should be a place of accurate information, mature discussions, and making sure others do not tarnish what we are working hard to do here. This should not be a place of quarreling between contributors, name calling, ban threats, and the like. I agree with Tanaric as he stated, "If you can't handle reasonable discussion on the Internet, we don't need you."

With that said, I know I have placed Bans on some anon users and reverted their vandalism. While I, and most others, do it the way it was intended and try to help the admins, the Ban template can also be used to threaten someone. That never crossed my mind until this debate. I am 100% in agreement with Tanaric in not allowing non-admins to use the Ban template. Having been apart of many forums and admin some, I expect to see this type of behavior again, although I always hope I never do. --Gares Redstorm 22:22, 9 May 2006 (CDT)
