@UAM: Personally, moderators need to have some sort of authority, telling the public that they're the same as regular users gives them little authority and many users would generally ignore requests by moderators. The only reason the current ruleset which you proposed is being questioned, is because only now was it realised that they were virtually copied word for word from MLP. I have been told that you have said many times that you want the TES wiki to become more like MLP: I have no idea why you said that but this is not MLP and we should not be making any efforts to cater to kids. Isn't it clear subjection then? If it's fine when it's unknown that it's from MLPWiki, but suddenly disliked when people find out, then it seems that the problem lies in the source, not the content itself. And the "I want the TESWiki to become more like MLP" rumour does have some truth behind it, though it's been taken very out of context. Reword it to "I want the TESWiki to be welcoming and actually an acceptable community". We gain nothing from being hostile to every user who actually needs help, and we don't gain anything from talking about boobs every five seconds, and we don't gain anything from bringing constant drama and argument in to chat, and we especially don't gain anything from causing disruption to other communities, and it reflects badly on the reputation of the wiki. I want the wiki chat to be like the wiki itself, if that's easier for you to understand.
