Possibly Retiring
To be honest, guys, I think it's about time for me to go. I have several reasons for saying this.
I've been less interested on Wikia as a whole (if you've seen my signature's quote; it's actually an anime quote, but I thought it fit this Wiki). As everyone *should* know, I don't actually care about Bakugan. Never have, never will. Well, I was interested, but that was back in New Vestroia, and only for NV, and the plot and characters in the later seasons failed to interest me. I guess I just didn't like how the Vexos got killed off; I thought it was an unnecessary move that was extended into the rest of the seasons' endings. I don't find Baku-Tech to be very interesting, either, and I despise the art style, so I won't ever be in loop with BT.

First Updates for 2012
Hooray, yet another way for the Admins to crack down on users! We now have the official Manual of Style regarding the articles.
As with everything, you will get a warning and/or a block for failing to follow it, yada yada, you know the drill.
And, as usual, if you decide to tl;dr it, you'll get blocked. Hip, hip, hooray.
Yes, you heard me, we are starting a new Project!
After we were all confused over the Image Gallery Project, the Admins decided we needed a (hopefully) easier project.
So now we have the HQ Images Project! It's rather quite simple, really. All you have to do is replace all the low-quality images with higher quality ones!
It's actually not simple at all. Finding HQ videos for some of the earlier seasons is quite the challenge.
Well,…
Happy Thankskicking!
It's no longer Thanksgiving, it's Thankskicking, as seen in Chat. (In short: randomness took an extreme ... that's what happens when A2's tired XD)
Update on Images
So, AOH, Kelly, 99, and I decided on some updates for the Wiki.
- Define what a "violent image" is
- What to do about galleries
- Should we use Gallery Pages.
(I removed 'an excess of', since we decided that none of it should be there. As for blood in the background, that's still up for debate.)
From now on, each gallery can only have 20 or less images. We do not need a picture for each frame a person is in!
Any image that we find to be useful will be placed on the article's gallery page.
Community Update: Trolls and Vandalism
The original blog is by Staff member Meighan. Some text has been copied and/or adapted for this Wiki.
- 1 What are they?
- 2 What are some reasons why they do what they do?
- 3 How to React
- 4 What to Do
A brief description:
- Vandal: wants to harm the wiki.
- Troll: wants to provoke you and get you upset.
- Spammer: can be someone who wants to sell you something or someone who posts the same kinds of things over and over again.
- Attention
- It's fun for them.
- Power
- To make people upset.
- They want to shock people.
- They want revenge or to punish others for something that happened on the wiki.
- They would rather destroy something than work to build it.
Undo the edit, calmly give them a warning, and that is all. Negative attention is preferable to no attention. By reacting, you'll …
