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) | 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'''.

: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.
