User blog comment:Zippertrain85/All Namespaces are important! (A response Blog)/@comment-1251315-20140804213002

I agree with Zipper on some aspects, especially how the mainspace is unfriendly. You've got users like Erik the Mad who go around reverting vandalism and then write extremely rude and patronising talkpage messages and then ignore any advice users give them. How does that create an environment where users would want to contribute to the wiki? In fact, I've spoken to several users and they've agreed that while Erik helps the wiki, he immediately harms it with his hostile attitude to new editors, which turns people away from bothering to continue contributing.

Our rules are a minefield. They are too long, too wordy and not worth reading. There's some policies that make little sense and are never enforced, such as image policies. I've tried to assist in fixing these issues, but nobody seems to care, or they think that it needs a consensus. >_>
