Whether you are a new user without an account or an admin with years of experience, you are just as valuable an editor as anyone else, and your input is welcomed. This does not mean, however, that experience is irrelevant, nor does it mean you can misbehave and expect to be treated like someone who makes productive edits.


No matter how much time you've spent here, whether or not you are an admin, or even whether or not you are logged in, '''you are valuable'''. More importantly, you are not less valuable than '''any other user'''- not even admins. It is inappropriate to depreciate yourself by making comments like "But User:Example is a pro smasher, so don't mind my opinion as much as his," or "User:AverageJoe is an admin, so his opinion must be more valuable than mine." '''Wrong!''' Comments like these undermine the sense of community and the effort people have put into maintaining SmashWiki.  
To elaborate, you are as encouraged as anyone else to add information to articles and to speak your opinion on proposals and disputes. This does not mean, however, your opinion will be held equally as others', or that contradicting information you contribute will be valid without your sufficiently supporting it.


You are just as entitled to question, suggest, or change Smashwiki as any other user, whether it is your first day or your first anniversary. Likewise, you have the same responsibility to follow our editing [[SmashWiki:Policy|policies]] as every other user. Finally, your mistakes will be forgiven- just as they would be for any other user.

Whether you are a new user without an account or an admin with years of experience, you are just as valuable an editor as anyone else, and your input is welcomed. This does not mean, however, that experience is irrelevant, nor does it mean you can misbehave and expect to be treated like someone who makes productive edits.

To elaborate, you are as encouraged as anyone else to add information to articles and to speak your opinion on proposals and disputes. This does not mean, however, your opinion will be held equally as others', or that contradicting information you contribute will be valid without your sufficiently supporting it.
