User talk:Kaestal

Heyo, I am Kaestal and I guess this is my talk page... hi? --Kaestal (talk) 09:54, December 29, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Getting started
Hi there, thanks for asking! There are quite a few projects that need help: I'll include the list below, but the most prominent one that comes to mind is the Article Improvement Unit, if you're up for large-scale renovations like that. Other than that, I'd suggest looking around pages and seeing if anything seems off to you, like that Ichigo power thing you mentioned - bring those up on the talk page, and we'll discuss them. Finally, feel free to fix any errors you find on the pages (there are so many that we can't catch them all) or, if you're awake at the time, help in updating the wiki when the chapters release.

Here's the other projects:

Hope that helps!--Xilinoc (talk) 19:01, December 29, 2015 (UTC)

RE: Blog/Forum closing
Hey there Kaestal, thanks for your message. I will be happy to show you the rules in regards to forums and such you can find them here. They are fairly brief as they were written a while ago.

My job is to moderate a forum and to decide when it has become unproductive, flaming or trolling or speculation.

We have a strict Speculation Policy here and we do not encourage people to write about their theories as if they are facts. The thread started out as Speculation to begin with as nowhere in the manga does it say that Ichigo is a member of the Shiba Clan. This is also especially true if the discussion starts getting heated and people start taking things personal. I closed that thread and included the facts and speculation in the conclusion.

We also are strictly against things getting heated or inflammatory as you can see included in those rules. I do not need to show you were claims of insults were thrown around. If things become that heated, things need to be stopped and in our experience telling heated people to stop solves nothing and can lead to vandalism or actual insults.

When a thread, that violated speculation anyway, becomes...unproductive we should also close it down. Saying the same two arguments back and forward with no extra proof just in a different way adds nothing to the topic, a speculation topic in this case.

We of course have to make judgement calls on the matter and my judgement comes from being on this site for years. There are plenty of sites on the web that embrace speculation and theories but we are not one of them, especially when they are written as facts and it starts to become heated. We want to encourage a productive and factual atmosphere here on the Wiki. I hope you understand. Now please no more messages, I would like to sleep, so maybe tomorrow. Kind Regards.
