63, you've been commenting unhappily about the forums under a number of different IP addresses, on a number of different pages. I've answered your questions about the forums with detail. You are now most definitely disrupting the wiki, contrary to T:POINT, by continuing to bring up the same gripes with how the forums are used.

We do not, apparently, use the forums like you want them used. We don't use them like other wikis on the Wikia network use them. Threads and posts get deleted in order to focus on those threads that matter most to the editing of the wiki. Sometimes this does mean that we need to talk about plot points, for exactly the reasons SOTO has laid out above. But not often. We try not to allow people to just generally shoot the breeze about Doctor Who. Once a thread starts to show of signs of heavy speculation or opinion, it's gone. There are many, better forums on the internet for that sort of generalised discussion.

Please stop complaining about the fact that we allow or disallow certain threads, or that you don't like or understand our forum structure here. Please also stop trying to point out what you see as inconstancy in application of rules. There are some 8 active admin compared to several hundred active named users and an unknown number of active IP users. We can't be everywhere that users have been.

If you see some thread that appears not to have been administered in the way you have been told, that doesn't invalidate the rule. It simply means we haven't gotten there yet. That said, this thread is in no way inappropriate to The Panopticon, since it's squarely about trying to figure out how to write a number of different, but related, pages.
