Also really funny that Stero edited out the following part of his post...
"A lot of people, including myself used the guide sparingly and in good faith, so removing it would pretty much ensure that it would only get used by the folks who abuse it."
...because he knows it's not true.
No. Its true. I just thought it was a double paragraph. I basically said the same thing twice.
If you take down the guide you ensure that the only people who still have access to it are the people who want to use it in bad faith you kill off all the good faith traffic.
I think I contacted fandom five or six times over the course of two years.
Four moderations - two overturned, one I got clarification on since it came without a mid note, and one I agreed to disagree on. Then for a child endangerment topic over in the PWB which was promptly deleted, and another for a doxing/harassment topic made on CE which was also promptly deleted.
Last time contacting them was in September for a moderation that i ultimately admitted fault too. Looking back on it, even the one I agreed to disagree on I now look back and realize I was 200% at fault for. I can see that now and Im grateful for the feedback I initially received from Fandom it was helpful. All feedback was helpful.
The guide works if used responsibly. Its not a tool we should ignore completely or hide behind a wall because of some bad faith users.
