Here's a nice comment about Wikia's latest asinine methods of handling new rule implementations from one of the users on the affected wikias:
Here's a nice comment about Wikia's latest asinine methods of handling new rule implementations from one of the users on the affected wikias:


"As a law student myself, please allow me to point out the little fact that the law is there for everyone and if wikia wants to uphold COPPA this way, they can indeed, but then they must be fair and subject every wiki to the same rules and not some arbitrarily chosen wikis. So the main point here is double: 1. all the negative consequences that this severe action will have, and 2. the fact that it is not enforced fairly, as only selected wikis will be affected by this and not all the wikis. That's not enforcing the law, that's picking and choosing according to their own standard -which, btw, no one knows." — [http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/User:Lady_Lostris Lady Lostris, Administrator of the Avatar Wiki]

Not to mention the fact that allowing IP editing doesn't have anything to do with the law, since you don't need to share any information to edit as an IP.
