@Meta07:

If you really want to change something you can ask staff people for a help. They can give you several good advices how to administrate the wiki, how to deal with spam/trolls etc. It is a good think to cooperate with them in general. You can avoid issues like the problems around Martynas:

After Martynas got blocked on BCoW, he freely copied ideas from BCoW to his BTD9 Wiki, and spammed there, and offended other people there. It would have been nice, if anybody had reported him to Staff people for these actions. Instead of it, people stroke back with the same behavior. They just spammed his wiki, and offended him too (until he was reported for being underage, but this may be a dangerous weapon, by my opinion, that can start a chain reaction, as a big part of the community around Bloons Wiki, BCoW and similar wikis is underage too).

I'm afraid that several people involved in the conflict haven't a big chance to cooperate with Staff people in the future, because, for a observer from outside, their behavior is exactly the same as Martynas' behavior: "Martynas spammed BCoW and offended other people, while they spammed his wiki and offended him too". When they offended Martynas, they thought like they were doing a great job, but this applies to all of us: If you offend somebody, you get no "positive points" or anything like that. You can get only "negative points" for that, no matter who your target is, and what he has done to you.

There is also no rule like "an admin and his friends are always true" on the Wikia. We all must still follow global rules. The main purpose of Staff people is to support the behavior where people expand content of the wikis, and these conflicts are counterproductive.
