On a light note: Unfortunately FANDOM won't grant that as they're moving forums to discussions. Our own forums here will be gone in the future.

On a heavier note:

The ToS wiki is focused on Town of Salem which has a lot of players. Most people just stop by briefly to get info and then they leave. Some users stick around, whether it's to chat or to add information.

Due to ToR being a smaller community, it's much easier to take care of and realistically it will be a community of friends versus here - where we have a mixture of people due to the size of the game. Not everyone is going to see eye to eye, and that's perfectly fine as long as people are being respectful. And if they're not? They get blocked from editing here.

There have been complaints of people saying "REJECTED" and people grinding edits. Where did they pick up this behavior? Maybe they've noticed others doing that? I know people are annoyed with others in the community, but I think instead of throwing shade - it would be better for people to set a good example. There are definitely people here who set good examples by doing things such as answering people's questions, updating pages with accurate information, respectfully responding to people's ideas and suggestions, greeting new users, etc. People shouldn't let a few odd apples drown out the good ones.

People can also come up with suggestions as to handle issues if they feel passionately about it - such as the grinding issue I've been reading posts about. I mean thoughtful suggestions and not just a simple "we should do something about it."

We could toss out the fun and games board since that's where a lot of shitposting happens - but then that's basically kicking out a part of the community who just wants to be silly. It could be nice if we were able to disable edit counts in certain areas of the wiki, but that is not a feature FANDOM has.

I think people posting congrats on reaching a certain edit count unfortunately doesn't do good as it makes it look like an achievement. A LOT of edits aren't useful. Edit your profile? +1 edit. Make a shitpost? +1 edit. Upload an image? +1 edit. Add brackets around one word on an article page to make it into a template? +1 edit.People bringing up the edit count just makes it seem like it's a big deal, when really it shouldn't be at all.

This is a huge reason why I felt and still feel strongly against achievements. People already grind edits and that's WITHOUT there being any achievement system in place. I feel like some people who have stopped grinding would still be grinding if achievements were in place.

Like anywhere and anything in life, people will come and go. There's nothing wrong with that. Again, a few odd apples don't represent the entire community. Push for good things. Some users here used to be on the odd side and then have changed for the better. Keep pushing for improvement.

Pokechurin's thread is really good on this: Thread:344489. If you guys feel up to it, you should pitch your thoughts into that thread since it is to my understanding that you both have been annoyed with this wiki.
