Well, yeah, the fighting needs to stop. But let's say to members are arguing. Both come to me with their side and ask for help. I could warn both of them but that wouldn't exactly stop anything, they might just see it as me doing my job. And if I warn both of them for harrassment, they might both just get angry and declare it wasn't their fault and they were just defending themselves which could cause more drama or get them angry at ME for not helping THEM when they asked for it. If it continues and I have to warn them again, I'd eventually get to banning point. However, by the time this happens it'd probably have exploded into something with multiple members taking sides. I can't warn everyone, because that's not how peace is made, it just makes people be forced to hold it inside, getting progressively angrier. And no way would I resort to banning everyone who gets into a fight. Do you see? Oh, and sometimes people who are having a bad day will just be snappy and rude, and this could cause a fight. I wouldn't punish that person, instead I'd let them vent to me and try to convince them to get offline until they feel better.

''That was a long way of saying that sometimes I'm a coward who really would rather work to make peace and get people to chill the fuck out instead of just bring down the banhammer on otherwise good members. Of course, if it happened recently, I may very well just punish them because the peace method hasn't worked too often :P''

It ended around February. That was when I (along with Icy) was forced to ban two people who were otherwise good friends of mine for reasons I'd rather not get into. THAT itself sparked a lot of controversy and I don't feel like talking about it. But some members who were friends with them wound up leaving the wiki and the drama sort of faded after that. I believe it STARTED about two years ago, and kept popping up from there. It was mess, but it did lead to things like this. Oh, and NINA ISN'T HARRY POTTER :P
