:Admins are allowed to use their powers to settle a dispute if it's vandalism, which includes '''removing content from your talk page'''. Yes, Zixor was acting immaturely, but that doesn't give you the right to mess with his comments. If I were to place a comment on your page saying that I disagree with one of your edits, and you change it to say that I ''agree'', how is that allowed? Only I would be allowed to change those comments. I can't believe you would go on PoD's talk page and straight out accuse him of abusing his powers, a '''VERY''' serious accusation, when PoD is one of the fairest and most patient admins I have ever seen.

::I'd like to put in my own input on this (also in response to PoD's comment two sections above). Despite the fact that "no removing content from your talk page" is an unspoken rule, it isn't a policy no matter what the interpretation. On Wikitroid, though it is not recommended that you remove comments from your talk page, the admins won't resort to protection to keep a comment in full form. Additionally, since there was no such policy or guideline, PoD protected it to a form that he wanted, which (technically) is an "abuse of powers," albeit a very light abuse. Referencing your comment about "how is changing 'disagree' to 'agree' allowed," that is changing the entire meaning of the comment, which could be considered as impersonation (which one can be blocked for). Abridging the comments is not the same, however, since it does not change the central meaning of the comment. Though PoD may suggest that Gargomon should not remove the comment, he shouldn't forcefully archive and protect Gargomon's talk page to enforce that.
