Arson / Discussion

This is the discussion related to the wiki page Arson.

Seriously, you may want to consider it.

Both this and this were created by the same anonymous IP. I'm going to assume the site must have been linked somewhere and this is why it's receiving as much attention as it has, as this is the fifth stub that's been created over the span of a few days.

I'm going to once again put forward that the wiki only allow edits by Wikidot members to prevent this from continuing.

EDIT: It may be worth noting that this page had "ccccccccccccccccccc:" hidden in one of the explanation margins of the page, potentially suggesting the shitposting's intentionally malicious (other than what's evidenced by the previous edit on Alien Invasion).

I actually just decided to write the article since it's an easy one and I've felt bad about complaining a lot without doing much work.

Thanks for pointing the "ccccccccccccc" element. I'd rather not disable anonymous edits entirely, since registering is always a major threshold that not all people who are interested are willing to take. But malicious edits should be avoided, and I will block that particular IP address.

What's the issue with "ccc(etc.)"?

Goatwright 06 May 2014 11:44

"c:" being a face and, per experience, multiple mouths (i.e cccccccc:) tends to be used condescendingly.

Thanks. Never heard of that before.
