User blog comment:Madman97/The Deterioration of this Wikia/@comment-1251315-20150106174142

Note: Do not reply to this post if you intend to flame or troll. I'll be reporting any hater posts to sysops for removal. This is my personal opinion: nobody asks you to agree with it, so don't flame or troll if you can't agree with my opinion.

The problem with the wiki can be summed up under a lot of points: There are probably more, but this is the pressing points I believe are harming the wiki.
 * 1) Too many users socialise: There is nothing wrong with socialising. However, many users here have forgotten that this is a wiki. With a wiki, detailing the information about the TES series comes first. We have many missing pages for Arena, Daggerfall and Morrowind. We have pretty much NO lore articles at all. And all people seem interested in doing is socialising in forums, blog posts and chat, which is NOT helping the wiki whatsoever. Many people do not realise but the mainspace comes first. That leads me onto my next point.
 * 2) Our policies are outdated: We have a lot of users, yeah, but the main concern is that they cannot contribute because they do not understand the long ass policies and complications that they introduce. It doesn't help when there are daily editors who simply go around removing everyone else's contributions just for the sake of it, which hinders people from actually making the effort to contribute at all. If our policies were cleaned up and shortened to be more user-friendly, I believe that users would be more interested in contributing.
 * 3) Too many users have staff positions: This isn't a problem of itself, but the coloured names come up quite often, which will lead users into believing that this is a wiki where only coloured names contribute. While there are true counters for having the coloured names, there's simply too many colours. If anything, the colours should be reserved for sysops only so that they can be distinguished as being sysops.
 * 4) Roleplaying rules the wiki: The hub compromise was supposed to direct ALL roleplaying activity to another wiki. Many users agreed to the compromise, but there are still a certain number of users here defying the consensus and continuing to roleplay here. I have seen users literally state that they will go against the consensus to prove a point. This does not help our wiki and continues to create community divides. The roleplayers do not realise that everyone else has to wade through their feed spam to see vandalism: there is no consideration for any other users.
