== Your recent behavior ==
Hey, so I've been noticing a few alarming issues regarding how you deal with other users. Looking through your contributions, I am noticing mostly reversions and talk page posts. While there's nothing inherently wrong with that, I want to point you to the part I see fault in: the edit summaries and the language you use on the talk pages. You are far, far too blunt, to the point where you become intimidating to new users, possibly even scaring them away. This is damaging to our project and is in no way in our best interest.
Let's look at some examples
#[https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Talk:Clone&diff=1096148&oldid=1096147 Here] you reverted C0liosi's signature replacement for no real reason, and directly afterwards he took out his whole comment and never showed up again. This might seem minor, but we always want new contributors, so kill them with kindness. When you are trying to enforce a rule, consider what damage could possibly be done if you don't act. If there's minimal or none, then don't.
#[https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Fox_McCloud&diff=1099640&oldid=1099638 Here] your edit summary is the issue. He just got done saying that he's a new user and he didn't fully understand how things work, but you responded with a snarky answer to his rhetorical question instead of politely explaining that the game doesn't change until release.
#[[User talk:Lr824760|You're]] [[User talk:24.4.106.149|still]] doing this. I pointed this out to you back when I (would have) opposed your RfA. Quit using language best left for the staff..."Hold it right there" is not appropriate language for user to user conversation...it's not even something I would want admins to ever say, really. Watch your phrasing.
#There are [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Smasher:Voff3&diff=prev&oldid=1096673 several] [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Bowser_(SSBU)&diff=prev&oldid=1096462 edit] [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Online_play&diff=prev&oldid=1096409 summaries] where you were unnecessarily sarcastic or brash. Again watch your phrasing.
#[[User talk:Tweedymoss|This]] is entirely unacceptable. A few problems with it:
##Break in QDV (your comment in the beginning does not dismiss the violation)
##Qualifies as [[SmashWiki:Block talk|block talk]]
##The whole thing reads as if you are trying to validate or reenforce the block as an admin would
##Once again use of this whole "alright listen up" crap
##And finally (and mainly), the comment can only piss the user off even further. You called his grammar terrible without even giving any suggestions for improvement, and then went on with how this act which had ''nothing'' to do with you somehow upset you.
There are also several recent issues that have occured on discord with you at the center, but since every one of those have been addressed, I don't feel a need to repeat myself.
My ending statement is this: you need to improve the way you interact with other users, especially new ones. Before saving the edit, ask yourself: is what I've written polite and professional instead of rude? Is what I've written constructive instead of inflammatory? Are other users likely to respond well to being spoken to in this way? If the message is intended to be sharp, am I the right person to be writing it? Making sure that these questions are all answered appropriately will help you to improve your edits and communication on the wiki to be more constructive. There have already been several conversations with you regarding your behavior, so I will warn you that lack of improvement in this area will result in a short block. Thanks for your time reading this wall of text, and have a nice day. <span style="font-family:Algerian;font-size:10pt;background:#000;border:outset #083 2px;padding:1px 3px">'''[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083">Serpent</span>]]&nbsp;[[File:SKSig.png|12px|link=]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0">King</span>]]'''</span> 19:17, 4 October 2018 (EDT)
