I'm sorry, Yatsura. It happens. :/

I mean the "Moderator deleting data on his own and forcing everyone to follow his will" part. It does seem like a very dictator like status but it does happen. Let's see how to put this... Ah, I made a grave mistake. This truly is my fault, the wikia is not a democracy, it is a federal republic. Yes, that was perhaps the most grave mistake I've ever made. Though allow me to explain.

These moderators are elected by people like us. Just common people who just so happen see these notifications or people who are recognized because their sense of leadership and virtue in the chatroom. So, you can essentially say these moderators are our representatives that we elected even though we all may not have voted for their presence. There may have been different methods, but this is the main method I know thus far.

Now, to revise my statement. A Federal Republic does indeed have rules. Rules set more powerfully than a Democracy which gives a lower degree of freedom but a stronger sense of order. This order is what I believe successful wikia's defintely have in common. Thus this wikia will cover up anything that it sees as disorderly in order to maintain order. Holy snap that's a lot of order... But yeah, that's what Federal Republics are all about. Sacrificing power, better statistics in this case; and diversity, more and more statistics to compensate for the basic quality; all for the maintenance of order, security and safe debate of ideas.

Is that bad? No. Is it good? No. That's what makes this issue so strange, it can go either way! If they do scrap this and keep it on the down low. They can organize a research squad to analyze and fix the problems made from poor judgements in gold efficiency. The bad part about this is that they have to leave the other people handling the vast majority of complaints and arguements trying to maintain order after they kept away from public eyes which I fear is going to crush this wikias spirit. :c A broken spirit is the hardest to mend. Then if they keep it, the arguements that caused them to reach this debate will ensue and they will have to immediately come up with ideas to fix the problems made. Else the rioting will grow to an uncontrollable rate, which is precisely what I think the mods are afraid of right now since there were articles made on this topic. Though, when they do solve the problems. And when they do express the follies, there will be the sympathetic ones who will understand and let go of their anger. They may even help solve the problem with their suggestions. There will still be the angered fanatics who will not listen to any follies or mishaps and will rage on. Though in my arguement, I don't see how things would get worse than this in all honesty. This is a problem, and there is an article on it. They aren't going to make pictures and send a riot to RIOT Games to escalate. So I think it is safer really to confront the problem.

I also believe it because of my ethics. When the going gets tough, you can only rely on your diligence and willpower cause that is what will get you through. Because where order fails, diligence and willpower succeeds. Examples would be Adolf Hitler, Abraham Lincoln, and Martin Luther King Jr. Yes, even though Adolf Hitler had a bad reputation, he admittedly got Germany through a terrible era in time. I didn't like censorship either, I didn't like suppression as well. I personally led a clan of 400 to the top 20 in a game long ago. I felt the hardship, I heard the cries of my colleagues telling me to prevent the lower ranks from talking down upon them. I've been through the trials. So I can see why people feel proposals such as this is necessary. Though I still believe one thing, it is our will to fix this that will truly solve our problem either which way. So I choose the way that allows the entire populous to see, instead of hiding it in the dark just to be "safe."
