Okay, well I do find your complaint itself valid. Once again, my problem lay in everything else that happened.

It's unfortunate that you had bad experiences on the Victorious Wiki. I understand that some of the shippers can get a little crazy. I also noticed that the iCarly and Victorious wikis have very different cultures. Since on iCarly there are only 3 main ships and Cam is disregarded as impossible to actually become canon, lots of the users just stay on the Creddie and Seddie pages and treat it like a place to talk about anything. Also, since iCarly started earlier, it became popular earlier, and people began going on the wiki a lot and commenting a lot back then before chat was added as a feature. I notice you guys often tell each other what's going on with your life and practically anything in those comments since the tradition continues. The Victorious Wiki on the other hand became more popular in recent times, so a lot of the people who socialize a lot remain on chat or in blogs and fewer people comment on articles. Also since there are so many characters, it's possible that people ship several ships, so they don't just stick to one page like you guys do on iCarly. I don't know if this is relevant, but it's just a different in wiki dynamic. People have gotten pretty used to being respectful with Creddie and Seddie, but the ship conflicts on Victorious can get more complicated with so many more characters going. I understand your decision though if you don't want to come back again, even though I disagree with you about the wiki.

I'm glad you'll give the Sam and Cat Wiki a try. EpicFork and I have been working hard to make that place both democratic and professional, and we really let users have a voice in the changes we make on the wiki. If you look at our old forums, we have been letting users have a say in a lot of things, and we'll definitely continue that with our new forums. We also have a place for people to nominate and vote on people's user rights requests so that everyone is aware of the possibility of new admins, chat mods, rollbacks, etc.

As a general rule of thumb, I'd say always approach the admin/mod who handled the situation first, since he/she probably had the best knowledge of the situation. If it's a block/chat ban, you can go straight to the message that the admin/mod left to notify you and ask questions there. If you can't clear the situation with that person, you can come to me. If I think the decision should be overturned, I would most likely have a discussion with that person first to see why they acted the way they did, and if I still disagree, I may overrule the decision depending on how severe the situation is.
