Forum:How we deal with IPs

Forums: Index > The World that Never was > How we deal with IPs

KrytenKoro - Click TALK - Okay, seriously guys. I've had to edit as an IP several times in the last week, and nearly every time I've made an edit, it's been reverted, even though I provide edit comments. When I redo the edits logged in, no one says anything. I don't know if it's that the wiki has a habit of reverting IPs, or if it has a habit of letting me do whatever I want, but one of these is wrong. If it's that you guys are afraid to criticize me, don't be. Criticize me all day long if you think I'm wrong. But if it's the other, then you guys need to pay more attention to the IP edits.

Personally, I only undo non constructive or misinformed edits, or edits that appear as such to me. --Evnyofdeath 03:09, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? I think its more that frequent editors of the wiki are just more inclined to revert IP edits. We associate them with vandals, which isn't fair, but I don't know if there's any way to change that. Its really more of a subconscious thing, and if you've fallen into that habit, you'll only catch yourself if you always think about it, which I try to do. We should always be able to provide a reason -preferably one in line with the MoS or general policy - for reverting any edit, whether they come from IPs or not. If we can't, the edit probably shouldn't be reverted.
