User blog:Squidnerd/Proposal: Was There A Civil War on SBFW?

I have had enough of Travis' ridiculous and insulting claims that between January 4 to February 3, 2018, there was a 'civil war' on this wiki. No, there wasn't—and it's extremely selfish to say so. This wiki had a civil war, but that was between 2013-14. Y'know, Star Alliance, Tanner, bureaucrat suspension, the wiki falling into a state of anarchy for two years, etc...

Here is what I define as a 'civil war':


 * 1) There were personal attacks exchanged between both sides.
 * 2) Spin-Off's were shut down and users left, voluntarily or involuntarily.
 * 3) There was significant cross-wiki drama.
 * 4) FANDOM Staff had to intervene.
 * 5) The wiki's atmosphere did not return to a sense of normality immediately after the dispute ended.

Today we are going to analyze the differences between what happened in 2013-14 compared to 2018.

2013-14:
 * 1) There were extremely disgusting things that happened on the wiki, such as intense relationship drama and suicide threats.
 * 2) Da Nerd and JellyfishJam38 left outright, and the rest of the existing administration, with the exception of Doctor Bugs, toned down their activity. Quality spin-off's such as SpongeBob: Infection and Ttyl. fell into inactivity.
 * 3) Encyclopedia SpongeBobia, led by AMK152 and JCM, started a program to help develop the SBFW during the peak of the conflict. They eventually left as most SBFW Administrators did not trust ESB with controlling their content laws, despite AMK's insistence that wouldn't happen.
 * 4) FANDOM Staff was called, and Da Nerd was globally blocked.
 * 5) Bureaucratic rights were banned and remained so until Winter 2016, two years after the conflict ended. For the latter part of 2014 and 2015, the wiki was in a state of disrepair with an inactive administration.

2018:
 * 1) Travis and I never personally attacked each other.
 * 2) No spin-off's were cancelled or users left. No blocks, nothing.
 * 3) I don't think ESB even knows what happened, or really cares.
 * 4) I don't think FANDOM even knows what happened, or wouldn't see foul play in a legitimate demotion of an administrator.
 * 5) This dispute ended on February 3, 2018. Spin-off's were fine.

You might be wondering, why am I bringing up something that happened two bloody years ago? I'm asking myself the same question.

But my question to you is: was there an SBFW civil war in 2018?
