User blog:ChocoMingo/Anti-Raiding PSA

To all Polandball Wiki users...

Earlier today, a user on this wiki decided to start a "crusade" on the Countryhumans Wiki on behalf of the Polandball Wiki because she thinks it's a "failed branch of Polandball", claim it's "highly cancerous" and basically because she hates countryhumans and wants it removed (according to her).

Now look, most of the community doesn't like countryhumans at all and that is understandable (I'm gonna admit, I don't hate countryhumans but it's not my cup of tea). But at the same time, we should respect people who make countryhumans, agree to disagree. That being said, that gives absolutely NO EXCUSE for what this person did to the Countryhumans Wiki. Let's make it clear, her "crusade" was actually a raid on Countryhumans Wiki in the name of this wiki and she obviously went too far.

Usually, the mods (including myself), would rather not get involved in drama from other wikis, but in this instance, this wiki was forced into drama because one person raided on our behalf, and we as mods have a duty to call it out. She may speak for herself, but she doesn't speak for the entire wiki. The mods do and we condemn her actions.

Someone from the Countryhumans Wiki sent NESTLEH a message about what went on in their wiki and how the user who raided their wiki was using our name. This user seemed very mature talking to him about the situation and on the blog post in the Countryhumans Wiki, but she was concerned we would side with the person who raided the Countryhumans Wiki. As you can tell, we don't. She did say "I know how much some people on the [Polandball] wiki hate [the countryhumans] community, and I can understand if you do not want to take action". Well, we have some good news.

We WILL be taking action on this issue. Remember the "no declaring wars" rule? We will be amending that rule to include banning raiding wikis on our behalf and declaring war on other wikis on our behalf.

This rule will also apply on our Discord server, so if we see anyone raiding another wiki or Discord server or if anyone reports to us someone from our wiki or server raids their wiki or server in our name, the user who raided will be banned for 1 month (first offense) or permanently (second offense). In some cases, we might report that user to the Fandom staff, making it likely that user will be globally banned.

We apologize for what happened over at the Countryhumans Wiki and while some from both sides will see each other as "the others", understand raiding is totally not OK and if you decide to raid another wiki on our behalf, there will be consequences, because it not only wastes their time, but our time when we could've been doing other activities on the wiki and/or IRL. Thank you.
