User blog:Ckohrs0221/More Harm Than Good?

I don't think it's news at this point that someone on the wiki is using chat to spread discord on the wiki by attacking various users using the anonymous feature on ask. I've received some, Lissy has, Omnia has... and I know there are others in the past who have, even if they haven't in the recent past.

I've always thought this wiki was like a family... but it feels very fragmented lately. I think it's a bit unrealistic, given the size of our wiki, to assume everyone will always be friends with everyone. Personalities don't always work like that. But I would like to think that if we have problems... we can talk them out in PM. Or through owls. Or however it is so that no one is resorting to publishing anonymous rudeness on a different website. It sucks-- ask anyone who's been attacked in this way. It doesn't feel good.

There's only one solution I can think of to really solve this problem, and unfortunately it comes off as a bit drastic. As a wiki... we have to give up ask. Or at least give up ask for DARP-- you could keep your ask, and use it for personal purposes... but DARP wouldn't have a place on that website, since it's only causing problems.

So... I figured a poll might be the best way to see how other people are feeling about this. So feel free to take the polls, and comment if you want to.

What do you feel is the best solution to the ask.fm problem? As a wiki, leave ask entirely Let people keep their asks, but refrain from asking DARP-related questions This isn't a problem, ask is fine

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to approach me in PM, or send me an owl.

This above  all else... to  thine  own  self  be  true. 19:21, November 16, 2015 (UTC)
