It still is a place for suggesting role ideas. Admittedly, most roles get immediately rejected based on our community's reasonable, but harsh requirements. Your other points are quite subjective.

ToTM was actually of value, not just another bottle cap on the chest. The reward was more symbolizing of something. It is rather difficult making meaningful improvements once grammar and spelling are fixed. ToS isn't a game with a lot of data about objects, characters, or story - it's a digitalized party game, so you can expect to "finish" the wiki at some point, or at least until another of the rare gameplay updates.

Oh, and what about edit racking? Its honestly ridiculous to see people empower it so much. Someone edit racks and you'd have pitchforks behind their back. Stop making such a big deal out of it. If someone edit racks, let them have it. Just look down on them, frown on their actions, don't give their achievement importance, ignore it. The number of edits you have are of no value whatsoever, its just that there's exaggeration mixed in this potion. [...] See someone edit racking? Turn your head around and don't give him the power or attention he wants. Wanna have a game that ain't ToS related? This is not the place for it. I wasn't aware that there was tension about this! I only notice users congratulating each other for reaching certain edit numbers, but no metaphorical pitchforks. As you would agree, we don't have wiki badges for edit count as on other wikis since we don't disallow edit racking or off-topic "shitposting" etc.

Unnecessary shenanigans and waste of time wasn't a thing back then. It is terrible for me to open the wiki activity at occasions, and instead of seeing a role idea, a helpful edit, a story of someone's ToS match, or even a normal discussion about the game and its roles, what do I get? RPs, shitposting, petty drama sometimes, why? I hate this, I genuinely do. Ok, few nice games here and there, but that has really been flooded. I'm not here to blame any people, I'm here to condemn wrong actions. [...] What I want, is for RPs, time-wasting shitposts, other non-ToS related things, other space wasting things to go somewhere else. Somewhere better suited for them. Got a ToS RP? Do it on Discord, an RP wiki or go to the Discussions, not this wiki. Wanna shitpost? Do it somewhere else not on the wiki or even better, don't do it at all. [...] I want the wiki to be fixed, and I need people to listen. I want the wiki to be as good as it was like before, I don't want RPs and other "fun" stuff being the fuel that runs this place. I want ToS and its fans to run it the right way. Please move your RPs, your unnecessary things, whatever else, just get it off the wiki, make it a better place. I don't enjoy these things myself, but none of these seem like inherently bad or wrong actions to me. You're entitled to your own opinion! (We could create and enforce rules about these behaviors. That would become a pretty interesting period for this wiki.)
