Good post Wormy, I respect your boldness and proactiveness in trying to curb what is really shaping up to be a "civil war" now.

I personally think one of the major problems effecting this wiki, as with many societies and organizations before and since, is that the population is growing (there has been a massive influx of users over the past two years or even just several months), and with each new user they bring a new idea of what they think the fictionverses should be like. Its a clash of cultures, really. The days of when SporeWiki was a small collaberation between good friends is over, and I think its because the way that everyone haven't quite climatized to this new atmosphere (e.g people, preferring to stick to their own) that these conflicts start up, and that factions of the "in-group" and the "out-group" sprouted. As a solution... Well, I don't have one good all-emcompassing one. Though I think we all know the "live and let lie" policy is not succeeding. So with that I'd support a breaking down of factions, and more intermingling between people; Looking past past grievances and trying to assimilate new ideas.

In all, lets not let this newfound diversity be a brooding ground for conflict, instead, we should let it be an opportunity to let ideas flourish and change hands.
