Alright, gonna make this short cuz I gotta do HW.

I'm the other admin. If Forest was a dictator, I would not exist. And just because the IRC makes us all a little loopy and crazy- and that's fine, it's fun- a lot of times people forget that THERE ARE RULES. And it's not just banning people and stuff. For example, once, a user PMed another user to gossip about a third user. They didn't realize that they had actually PMed the user they wanted to badmouth. See? The IRC is the place where we hang out, but if we can't be decent, it starts to turn into a bad place.

And another thing. This really pisses me off (sorry 'bout the language). Just because it was FOREST who banned you or told you to stop something doesn't mean I don't approve it too. She tells me everything that she does, whoever she bans and everything. And if I say 'Hey, maybe that's not a good idea.' she listens. So when you cuss her out or go behind her back, you're doing it to both of us. We're a team, so don't paint her as the bad cop.

There are some wikis that don't have IRCs. I'm not saying anything, but just think of it. It's a privilege. Don't make us regret giving it to everyone.
