You just have to accept it after a while and either become an editor who strictly follows their rules or be a fan who reads Bleach and uses this site for info. Both are good! But you can't be a fan who tries to take things into his/her own hands on this Wiki; their rules have to be followed. And once you are banned, there is no going back (trust me, I know). Starting bad is not a good idea here; second chances are rare and have to be earned, if even possible.

I don't view it as a bad system either. This insures that all data is accurate on the Wiki, referenced and controls spam/vandalism. Fanfiction has no place here and it shouldn't on most Wikis except those that are focused on said things. Their staff is highly dedicated to making sure this is a clean, easy to read source of information for anyone who needs to know anything about the series. It also enables fans to read up on plots to catch themselves up, as an alternative to reading through each chapter or watching each episode (this is personal preference for some, sometimes people just like to read the story rather than be forced to experience the whole thing).

I would also like to add that their no-nonsense policy on speculation is fantastic. In a series like Bleach, someone can get cut down one chapter and be walking around 10 chapters later...fans LOOOOVE to scream that someone's dead or even claim they're "still alive" in some cases. Here at Bleach Wiki, they require clear proof on such statuses...and promptly removed the "Alive" and "Deceased" (or even Incapacitated) options due to this. But yeah...fans love to speculate and it leads to misinformation, which overall effects the quality of the work being done here.

Hilarious, considering that's what several veteran members of the supposedly "speculation intolerant" site did towards Byakuya twice before he was, ya know, still alive.

Ten, are you ever going to do anything but complain around here? Because if not, you really don't need to be on this wiki. As for Byakuya. Lets look at some facts. Fact 1, Haschwalth stated that he was dead. Fact 2. Byakuya later stated he was dying and would be dead soon. Part of the speculation policy is that we don't speculate when someone is dead or alive. If someone is said to be dead, we mark them as dead. If someone is said to be alive, we mark them as alive. We are not here to question what Kubo writes. If one of Kubo's characters says that someone is dead, then we list them as dead, end of story. Now, you have a choice. You can productively contribute to discussions, or you can just leave this wiki alone. Your constant moaning and complaining about how much you hate this wiki in unnecessary, unproductive and will not be tolerated much longer.
