User blog comment:The Terrible Travis/Proposal 1: Rule Revision/@comment-24455116-20160428121821/@comment-24412656-20160429050939

"Hell, when I suggested that RamDarre delete The Terrible Travis, Ponyo Fan asked me my movitation, even though you can clearly tell from the title alone it violates rule 15."

I don't really mind The Terrible Travis. Sure, it's ridiculous and petty, but it's not doing any real harm. Also, it should be noted that even with the pass of this proposal, that show would still be in violating of the rule - as it's not done with the intent of comedy.

"I don't like how that's phrased. Jokes can be harmless sure, but some jokes really aren't appropriate for the kind of at least semi-kid friendly atmosphere this wiki is supposed to go for. I admit I've used personal insult jokes on another wiki but I wouldn't really consider it acceptable behavior here, since I'm fine with rule 15."

I'm going to have admit I don't quite agree with your vision of the wiki. This is not some kiddie hang-out place - it's a place for SpongeBob fans to connect and share their fanfiction. We should feel free to be our true selves here - as long as it isn't hurting anybody. Kids can handle attack humor - they see it in their TV shows, and they regularly use it in school. It's no big deal.

"That I agree with. Misuse of power is definitely a problem here. I mean, just look at how you were promoted."

I wouldn't say that my promotion was an example of a misuse of power. I had the most supports in the shortest amount of time - it's completely fair that I'm the one who ended up getting promoted.

"Bullshit. Rules are rules and personal insults are against them for good reason. As I said above, there is defiantly a very real problem with enforcement of rule 15, but it's really easy to exploit the rules as you describe."

Personal insults are against policy because they're usually used to harrass other user. Jokingly made insults however, don't share that purpose, and thus should not be against the rules. Also, I don't really get your "rules are rules" comment. Rules are rules, that's why I'm trying to change them so that making a joke is no longer a bannable offense. Also, you just said "bullshit". I thought you said this was a kid-friendly place. Of course, it's true that kids can easily handle that - but they can also easily handle attack humor.
