==What can administrators not do?==
 
Administrators should '''not''' use their administrator powers to '''settle editing disputes; for example, to lock a page on a version he or she prefers in an editing dispute that isn't vandalism'''. Administrator powers should be used to '''help keep the wiki clear of vandalism, spam, and users who make malicious edits''', but not for simple disagreements between users acting in good faith. Ideally an admin shouldn't be considered "in charge". The ideal admin is just someone who is trusted to have a few extra buttons and to use them for the benefit of the Wikia community. -[[User:Gargomon251|Gargomon251]] ([[User talk:Gargomon251|talk]]) 01:59, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

::::::It isn't "the most minor abuse imaginable." To the contrary, protection of a page to a version that you want is abuse of protection powers, which is in no way as minor as rollbacking abuse. That abuse of those powers is not as utterly insignificant as you assume. There's a pretty good reason why there are two sections on your page, and it's very obvious given that this abuse of powers is actually in its own right very significant; it is not up to the admins to decide whether or not they should force-archive and protect it in order to prevent any move reversions. This comment is very much related to that other one, which is why I said that given how important that argument is, this discussion is too. I said it was pointless because it proved almost nothing, given how most of your comment was wrong. Like I said before, it's rather pointless indeed.

::::::::Well he kinda did, albeit it was the "most minor abuse imaginable."  Does he deserve to be banned?  Of course not.  Hell, if he hadn't have protected it, that edit war would still be going!  Although forcing the archive was a bit much, he did the right thing by stopping the edit war to allow for discussion.  '''[[User:Cheezperson|<span style="color:gold">Cheez</span><span style="color:red">person</span>]]''' {[[User talk:Cheezperson|<span style="color:steelblue">talk</span>]]}[[Special:Contributions/Cheezperson|<span style="color:silver">stuff</span>]]''' 04:20, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

:::::::::Actually, Cheezperson, the archive was entirely necessary - if I hadn't, then Gargomon251 wouldn't have a functional talk page, as the only people would could edit it would be Admins. This way, he gets to keep his talk page, and the comment is protected. If I had just protected the page, and not archived it, that would have been a bit much.

==Thanks==
Well, PoD had pretty much helped me against Woody72691, who has done nothing more than troll my page, and I think even deleted the long comment I made towards him on "My Talk" a few weeks ago.  I appreciate all that PoD has done to help me out, along with the others that helped, too.  I apologize if it was any trouble.  If there was a way to block the woody guy from editing my page, and if I learned how, I would be willing to do it, and hopefully it should help with the majority of the problems.  Once again, I thank PoD and the rest that have helped me, and I really appreciate the help.  [[User:Admiral Pit|Admiral Pit]] ([[User talk:Admiral Pit|talk]]) 12:03, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

Hey PoD,I officially completed my profile. I made a very small article on my user page. I was wondering if you could look at it for me. P.S.

Yeah I probably would have kept spamming Pichu 'til I was banned, so thanks for the warning. I start to overreact less. ([[User:Ninoaguila|Ninoaguila]] ([[User talk:Ninoaguila|talk]]) 06:07, January 28, 2010 (UTC))

:Please read [[SmashWiki:Sign your comments]]. Custom signatures should contain all or most of your username, and yours makes no mention of your username at all... The policy covers everything you need to know about signatures, and then some, to be honest. Also, on SmashWiki, it's customary to reply to a message left on your talk page directly below that comment, not on the other user's talk page - this is to prevent conversations from becoming fragmented.

:::When you sign comments, are you signing with <nowiki>~~~ or ~~~~? ~~~ just puts your signature in, with no timestamp, but ~~~~ puts both in.
