After nearly 3.5 years' editing, i have never before suspected that anyone would use ] as you do. (And I would argue that the wording of ] should be changed to be more consistent with the Glossary.)

It occurs to me that there is no point editing here. I have, under various accounts, tried to have a successful Wiki-life for the past two and a half years. But no matter how much I follow policy, attempt to rectify situations calmly, and generally do what I think is correct, something always goes wrong. Why?

Because there are complete dickheads here who couldn't even tell you how to save a page; yet, they are revered for their "contributions".

And it sickens me. Why should one be allowed to berate and abuse other editors just because they're experts on a particular subject, whereas those of us who know little but try our hardest to keep Misplaced Pages clean and concise are shunned?

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
