Greetings everyone
Based on activity we've observed, there has been an increasing amount of stomp/spite threads as of late. A number of users have made certain repeated polls and threads "testing the wiki for bias" by using non-Naruto characters,
who vastly outpower their Naruto character opponent (or vice versa) in a versus debate. This is not allowed and considered trolling to provoke a
response from the Naruto community here.
Primarily, we allow majority Naruto discussions in threads. As of now, threads can have non-Naruto versus debates against Naruto characters, as long as there is a healthy debatable discussions between the two. The problem arises when users abuse this freedom they have here.
That being said, this serves as a general warning. If this problem continues, non-Naruto characters will be prohibited from the wiki. It's not ideal, but as with fanfiction, some things are suited to other places than the wiki.
To address common grievances, threads that feature non-Naruto characters need:
1) To be majority Naruto related (At least 4 tiles of Naruto characters for polls of six, not 1 Naruto character and 5 Non-Naruto characters)
2) To not be stomp/spite.
3) For unknown non-Naruto characters give 3 abilities of said character (Do not give paragraphs of info on your non-Naruto character,
only a brief description).
4) Use moderation. If these types of threads are used sparingly there will be no issues.
Additionally, we have seen toxicity on "character appreciation threads". "Hate threads" are already banned as per the guidelines. And the first guideline states "Be nice and treat people with respect. Do not insult or attack other users. This is not how you have a discussion", this encompasses how to behave in threads. That does not mean your threads/posts are immune from critique, as this wiki is a public forum. If you want to post here you have to be able to accept criticism, and converse with others without toxicity.
Naturally we want everyone here to have a postive and wholesome Naruto related experience here and I'm sure it will be. As always, if you have questions or concerns feel free to contact @Indra's Arrow , @Squinty97 or myself.
Appreciate your understanding.
