:::You can't agree that it was harmless then say it was unacceptable... Edits which are deliberately harmful to the wiki are unacceptable and merit a block. All other edits are acceptable. Given the nature of the edit, I would be extremely surprised if they had then edited the wiki again, making your actions completely pointless, so, according to your logic, I could block you. The IP may have been doing SmashWiki a disservice, but that's because they have a bad impression of the wiki, and by temp. banning them for voicing their opinion, you make their impression of the wiki even worse. It's stuff like this that gives SmashWiki a bad name among the ''Smash'' community.

::::You may consider me blocking the IP a pointless measure as it is likely that this IP would have not edited again. But the block was a preemptive measure to keep the IP from making further useless posts they may have been planning and should have this IP been planning to become an active editor, the block would let them know that such posts are not acceptable. As for blocking the IP, I did not block them for "voicing their opinion" as they did not post an opinion, I blocked them for making a completely useless post on our commonly misused talk pages. The IP was doing the Smash Wiki a disservice and saying that they shouldn't have been blocked because "they have a bad impression of the Wiki" is not a valid reason to not block them. To come to think of it, this post was not harmless as other users can see it as it being alright to post whatever they want on the Wiki's talk pages. By blocking this IP, it also gives a message to other users that this Wiki will not tolerate such pointless posts on our talk pages. I'm not going to be lenient just so this Wiki won't have a "bad name" among individuals who would never contribute constructively. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png|25px ]] 11:29, July 12, 2010 (UTC) | |||
