User blog comment:Wetstream/The Summer of New Users/@comment-4751506-20130602200202

Thank you for this blog, Wetstream (I'm using your full name because you used mine). I agree with everything on there - especially the last section about staff, because I am tired of people coming to me asking to delete articles or ban users. I am a rollback, I cannot do anything of the sort and I get really annoyed when people ask me to do such.

Another thing I have a problem with is the reading of stories.

Your fellow noobs' and Arti's stories are not the only stories worht reading on this wiki, my friends. Star, Wetty, Zaffie, and I, we have valuable stories too. But writing on here doesn't really seem important anymore if no one's reading it. I get that the point of writing is practice, practice, practice, but if we get no feedback, we'll never know how to improve - and if we keep the old crappy plotlines and shallow characters, our 'practicing' is going to help us go nowhere. It's gotten somewhat annoying how the stories with fifty-four comments are either new users' stories with 'MOAR I LUV DIS OMG11!! UPD8 PLS!!!1!111!' or Arti's stories with similar comments.

The unregistered users problem is probably my biggest pet peeve. As a rollback, it's basically my job to undo vandals' edits on other users' stories. But unregistered contributors - they make this job of mine a lot harder (not that I ever actually have to do anything, we're a pretty good wiki and don't have much of a problem with this). Every time a Wikia Contributor edits, I have to go check on whether or not it's the author of that fan fiction, or a vandal editing someone else's story. And if I don't undo it, and it is a vandal - I haven't done my job and I feel like a bad person. Making talk pages and 'user pages' for yourself as a wiki contributor is more trouble than just making an account. Just as Wetty said - if your parents won't let you make an account, you shouldn't even be here at all. Making an account is the easiest way to help this wiki run smoothly.

...that's my two cents, I guess. I just really hope this wiki doesn't fall to pieces - I know that was supposed to be a conclusion, but look at how many issues Wetty had to address guys. Just...I feel like we should be better than this, y'know?
