Board Thread:General Mod Discussion/@comment-25906239-20150609232334

I am just going to come straight out and say it. We, as a wiki community, are terrible at accepting other people's suggestions. Firstly, when a first time wiki user makes a mistake, it alienates him or her from the mod community, as dozens of wiki users come screaming down on them for breaking a rule that, although they should know about, doesn't deserve this severe reaction. It would be much better if a single admin or mod could KINDLY tell them their mistake and the possible consequences, and then it's over. It would bring many more anonymous contributers into the community to help. Another problem with this is the harshness of criticism. All rule following suggestions can have constructive criticism, but please do not do so in a rude way and point out the good in the suggestion as well. A final problem that, if addressed, would help the community improve is if suggestions were actually implemented. I know Mevans has a plan for the mod, but so far the suggestion forum has served no purpose. I have not seen a single suggestion incorporated into the mod, and many are very good. In my time in the Orespawn community, which was a great one, the fact that suggestions were implemented into the mod made me spend hours building and screenshoting structures to try to get into the mod, and some did! The fact that suggestions would actually be included into the mod really made it better, as there was more than one single mind behind the mod as a whole. Many ideas on this wiki are great, and deserve to be rewarded for it. I know this is an unpopular opinion, but it is mine and I will share it.

Sincerely,

Red
