User blog:Spacepigeon/Comments are here - hopefully not a terrible idea!

Hello all!

So, I've enabled comments. This means that users can now leave comments on almost any page on our Wiki!

I really hope that this could stop the sharp increase of graffiti, trolling and unverified additions we've been having to pages recently, ever since the Moominvalley series aired. It's understandable that fans new and old are excited and want to express themselves and their views, but it's disappointing that so many people have chosen to do that on our pages, where they have become little more than a nuisance to our hardworking volunteers. It is a shame that a lot of people have been taking advantage of the inactivity of this Wiki to leave whatever they want on these pages, with not much care or thought to who will have to tidy it up.

To all who may be future commenters - please don't let me down folks!

I don't want this to mean that rude comments, debates and harsh language run amok in comment feeds. I'm hoping that people can take their harmless headcanons and interpretations of characters and episodes and place them somewhere better than on our pages reserved for factual and impartial information. We want to encourage discussion and commentary and there sure has been a lot of it since this new series, and I have been so happy to see so many people discovering the world of the Moomins and loving it, so I dearly hope that this will be a positive improvement to our community.

Take care all, more updates to come as I continue to get this Wiki more active!

Addition: Unfortunately, until further notice, we will continue to only allow logged in users to contribute to this Wiki. This is something I really wanted to remove, but we have been having so much graffiti and related unnecessary edits just from people making accounts specifically to edit here, and I can't let our community become overloaded with even more of that by allowing anonymous contributions and comments.

This is something I really hope to remove so we can truly let as many people as possible be open to joining our community, but sadly it isn't something I can allow at the moment. Hopefully we will begin to see a decrease in these additions with the comments sections open, and I do hope to gain more active members on our Wiki, so that we may then feel ready to allow anonymous contributors as we will be in a better position to deal with any graffiti quickly and efficiently instead of being at the risk of giving ourselves even more work to undertake. I hope you can all understand.
