our rules are not always clear but I think it wise to inform users that deleting the work of admins (be it cleanup, removal of deletion tags and especially the deletion of warnings on your message wall) can and will earn you a block.. this is important to know because without a chain of command a wiki will inevitably crumble or Staff may have to involve themselves to fix things, either scenario is not good for a wiki of any scale, let alone of the biggest wikis around.

I think we will need to clear our rules a little and make them more solid so everyone fully understands but common-sense comes into play : picking fights with admins, deleting tags without asking and removing specific warnings are all things that should be known as "unhelpful".

yes, internet makes it very easy to click a button and "undo" anything you dislike or disagree with but that is not how disputes are fixed, nor will it make the warnings or similar go away.. you can not "undo" problems by reverting etc.

you have control over many things on the wiki but you have to follow rules.. I'm putting this here so users can understand and also so admins and the beaus can help in making the existing Rules clearer and maybe improving on them (we do need more solid rules).

(this is a different tone to what most of you may remember but it is a subject that needs to be addressed now to avoid problems in future - it will be highlighted for ease of access to admins and users alike, then removed when necessary)
