Okay. I'm going to cut this off now. One, this isn't healthy for the Wiki. It undermines the authority presented by the administration. Two, this isn't healthy for any of us as individuals. All it does is create more and more hate and polarize our community, and by community, I mean whoever has read this, which is likely quite a few people by now. And three, in my eyes, there is a very cut-and-dry solution to this, though I'm sure nobody will be happy with it. The way I see it, Gen, you've used quite a bit of less-than-ideal language before, as evidenced with Exc0p, and putting in messages like that in the block reason box wholly undermines the entire reason for blocking people in the first place. Essentially, if you can't contain yourself, don't write anything at all. You were chosen to be put into a position of authority. It's a privilege, not a right. And in a position of authority, you have to at least maintain an outward appearance of calmness and maturity. Putting hateful statements in that reason box is harassment. As for Trevor, there is a standard policy on here of issuing a warning before issuing a ban. I didn't see any such warning. There is also a policy of at least consulting an administrator or bureaucrat before banning someone of equal privileges. As such, you went outside your abilities as a moderator on this Wiki, which is a violation of moderator privileges. Any furthering of this will result in at least a two week ban for BOTH of you, on the grounds that Gen cannot harass anybody, including vandals, and Trevor abused moderator powers. For now, Gen, I'm going to temporarily ban you for three days for reversing your own bans, and you each have warnings for harassment and power abuse respectively. This is the only warning for both of you. To repeat something you've said multiple times, Linsky, my care cup is empty. This goes for all of you. Keep calm and carry on.
