User talk:AgentWolf

Archive

Because of other users repeatedly disrespecting me and personally attacking me, I will not be posting here anymore. This page will no doubt be butchered and censored by the power-drunk administrators; I will let them have their fun. Goodbye to everyone who treated me kindly, and I had fun contributing for the short time I was here.--AgentWolf 10:51, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

A note about user pages, talk pages, policies, et cetera
Since it seems like you're sort of getting bombarded by people quoting this or that policy left and right, let me take the time to be a little more explanatory, and hopefully give you an idea of why there is suddenly so much going on with regards to your talk page.

Your userpage (User:AgentWolf) is considered to be "owned" by you - in the sense that you have the say, in general, of what goes on it. However, just like any society, the wiki has a few guidelines of what's just not allowable as a community - sort of like how there are laws against being a public nuisance in a residential neighborhood. In this case, GWW:NPA is one of these community boundaries, something that has been agreed on as beneficial overall for the community, and thus it's enforced everywhere on the wiki - you can do whatever you want, but you have to stay within such boundaries.

User talk pages, on the the other hand (such as this one, User talk:AgentWolf), while they have user names on them, aren't considered to be "owned" by that user. They're a shared resource to be used to contact that particular user, and are "owned" by the wiki itself, if anyone. That's why there are certain rules and guidelines for what you can do with them - since the page isn't actually "yours", persay, you're not allowed to just remove comments as you please. You can archive them, moving them to another, less in-the-way place, as long as you provide a link to the archive, but just as you wouldn't want your own comments to be censored, other people have a right to leave their comments on your talk page - within the same "community boundaries" as above.

If you have an issue with a comment a user left, it'd be better to talk to that user and try to resolve the matter, than to just remove the comment and try to pretend it never happened - not only does it cause bad blood between the both of you, but it also just prolongs whatever matter the comment related to in the first place. If that doesn't work out, you might try consulting a third party and trying to have them mediate, or seeing if a sysop can help out.

If you have any questions, feel free to leave a note here or on my talk page. Happy editing, (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 10:59, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
