I think it should be especially important for staff to be careful of this since it can scare off new comers and put others off if they think they are being attacked. A wink face or something goes a long way sometimes.

Also, I'm sure it goes without saying, but this wiki shouldn't be a place to talk about politics, religion, sexuality etc unless it's in direct relation to the character or subject and never in a way to hurt someone. There are some unacceptable things about that. If someone's being homophobic it's discrimination, so if someone's homophobic/racist/sexist he/she should be expecting hate comments. I'm not sure what you find unaccepatable with what I said. If someone says: "I like SwanQueen" they are talking about the characters. If someone responds with "That's not canon" that isn't a personal attack, it's an opinion (and now fact). If they respond with something intentionally homophobic, then admins should deal with it. And I disagree with causing more drama by attacking them. Simply saying that's not allowed here and reporting it should suffice. I am personally fine with debating things, but personal attacks shouldn't be allowed.

​​​​​I agree with Utter Solitude on not discouraging people of voicing opinions, but I also don't like seeing people trying to drag a conversation down with negativity or attacks. Or even feeding trolls. ​​​​​​​I think Datnuttykid has it right in that anything intentionally offensive should be flagged. Calling someone out when you are not sure of their intention is one thing, but need to start a flame war.

I think the mods do a pretty job of stopping things from going too far off subject and shutting down arguments that go no where.
