Hi Meta, I'd like to point out a few contradictions on Bloons Conception Wiki between policies, administrative page(s), some of your actions there, and also (possibly) Wikia's Terms of Use.

Firstly, according to Bloons Conception Wiki:Administrators: Administrators should not use their administrator powers to settle editing disputes [...] Administrator powers should be used [...]  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. The text relevant to your "PoPiPo" image clearly states that the main use is for "Threatening as someone with higher status". The above paragraph mentions that an admin should not be considered in charge. Your image also mentions that its main use is to Confirm user status, forcing respect from normal users, which goes against a couple of the policies, including Be respectful to everyone [...].

Wikia's Terms of Use state that You agree not to use the Service to: [...] Post or transmit any content that is obscene, pornographic, abusive, offensive, profane, or otherwise violates any law or right of any third party, or content that contains homophobia, ethnic slurs, religious intolerance, or encourages [...] What do you think about your "GTFO AND DIE!!!" image now? It may even be offensive to some people. (Please not that Wikia's ToU take precedence over local wiki policies.)

Your edit to the policies show that you are aware of the fact that "all users, and contributors are expected to follow these policies.'' No exceptions. You're an administrator (as mentioned earlier, this does not make you in charge; you're just a trusted member of BCoW) ; ensure that you follow policies so that other users will do so too.
