Ok so I was told to come here by the people at http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Jacce#Bad_mod so please don't ban me.

The mod Jacce banned the people at 76.114.248.173 and 24.63.155.215 for what he says was, 'nonsense,' and what other people say was, 'unnecessary.' It definitely wasn't nonsense because I understood what they were saying and whether it was necessary is an opinion. The point is that they did not do anything bad. And this site's rules at Narutopedia:Blocking policy say, 'Users should not be blocked simply for making bad edits.' So Jacce broke the rules when he banned people who were only trying to help. And then after he banned them Jacce protected the pages they edited from more editing because of what he says was, 'excessive vandalism.' The Kazekage page has been edited four times in the last month and only one was vandalism. 1/4 isn't excessive. The Tsuchikage page has been edited two times in the last month and neither was vandalism. 0/2 isn't excessive. The only thing excessive is that Jacce protected the pages for six months because of one edit.

When I told Jacce that he shouldn't have banned these people some other people came and defended him by saying that it was no big deal that these people were banned because their bans will end in a few days. If you were banned because someone thought you were breaking the rules when it's actually the person that banned you who's breaking the rules would you brush it off as no big deal? Do you think it would be fair to be sent to jail and then have your jailers tell you you didn't do anything wrong but you still need to serve your full term? And then the person White Flash says that Nazism isn't so bad because other websites are even bigger Nazis. Not only is that extremely insulting but it sounds like an admission of guilt.

So I think that Jacce and other mods should stop misusing their mod powers by banning people who didn't do anything wrong and by preventing people from contributing for six month time frames as a response to one well meaning edit. I don't think whether or not the stuff these people added was important or whether or not they added it in the right place matters because they only wanted to be helpful. And wanting to be helpful is never bad. If you keep scaring away people that only want to make this site better then you're going to be left with people that White Flash says aren't Nazis but are only kind of Nazis.

Thank you for listening and please don't ban me because I want this site to be better.142.54.169.2 (talk) 22:01, June 22, 2012 (UTC)

Opinions

I admire the admin involved here. His actions were proven, correct and thoughtful whenever I've seen one of his edits. I may be wrong, but are the suspicious trivia facts these two: "His chakra cannot be sensed by any ninja in the land He also Taught Particle Jutsu to the 3rd Tsuchikage." and "Gaara is one of the few Byronic Heros in the anime along with Itachi."?

As i can recall, we've had thousands of these (maybe unnecessary) trivia facts, but the users weren't blocked because of them. Maybe there is something more involved here? --Vecanoi (talk) 22:14, June 22, 2012 (UTC)

Yes those are the edits. Adding something that's not necessary isn't bad if they're only trying to be helpful. The rules say they shouldn't have been banned unless they kept adding the same thing which they didn't do because they were banned after the first time they added it.142.54.169.2 (talk) 22:21, June 22, 2012 (UTC)

I've never said Nazism is okay. You are now trying to change my words, I said other Admins led their Wikis with Nazism they're more worse than what you said "Oh I see. When someone gets sent to jail for a crime they didn't commit they should be like, 'Oh it's no big deal because I'll get out in a month.". -White Flash-(Talk)- 22:30, June 22, 2012 (UTC)
