User blog:Captain Ned Edgewalker/THE GRAMMAR RANT

hi

this totally isn't ranting about some people in general

also, before you go "NED PLS U USED TO ADD FIVE BILLION PAGES TO THE POTCO CATEGORY FOR EDITS", yes i did, but that was when that was, dare I say, somewhat necessary, since it was just after we switched from a POTC/POTCO exclusive wikia over to the GFW. It might be weak justification, but it's justification (also i wanted the badges pls don't judge me).

My point is, adding pages to categories they should be in = good. Editing the grammar on pages that are five years old is absolutely pointless, and it covers up the activity that should be seen. When I did it, it was stupid. And it's still stupid.

Take a look at this:

Now, if you look closely, you can see that he actually removed the capitals in guildmaster. How utterly M O N U M E N T A L. What's Ocean Rage? Did you care what it was or what the page looked like? If your answer to that question was "no", you have common sense.

It would be less of a problem (but still a problem) if we didn't issue 1 day bans to hardened criminals who actually did more overall changes (or at best, on par with the changes) to pages (see: may 11-14, because that's when they were banned, and ignore the numerous user talk edits) than the user i'm referring to. Guess which one was banned.

This is edit spam. Except someone isn't getting punished. If your argument is "WELL THESE GRAMMAR FIXES ARE ACTUALLY USEFUL PLS", my response to you is hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

This needs to be fixed. We need to clearly and near perfectly define what's edit spam and what isn't. (inb4 "then go propose it on the SSC", and i will, but i wanted to get this out thx)

that's all folks
