Reasons for your ban

Hey there. So it appears that you were involved in an edit war on the Hall of Fame:SAR page. This is the fundamental reason for your ban. While there is no explicit rule against edit wars on the site, I would hope that your first instinct was not to think that it was allowed or approved of. Much like on Wikipedia, fighting via page edits is frowned upon here on RealCTY, and it is prohibited when taken to extremes as it was tonight.

It should be said that I understand your concern and distaste for people trying to write themselves as legends, particularly people who, given personal in-session experience, did not appear to be, which seems to be the case here. However, at least from an outside perspective, most of the content that has been added to the HoF:SAR page seems better suited for the Memories:SAR page. I have to question the significance of these things to people who were not directly involved (see Help:Editing for comprehensive policy concerning what belongs on HoF pages), much as I question the "legendariness" of the HALF NAKED HALF MILE guy. While it is certainly understandable that you may take personal issue with the individual described in the entry as being "legendary," judgments that content lacks significance should be made more objectively. That is, you shouldn't have singled out just that one entry when there are other questionable entries around it.

In any case, it is also part of site policy that substantial information (HNHM was reasonably substantial; compare to some of the other new entries) never be deleted, only moved. That entry, much like, I'd fathom, some of the other ones, is probably better fit for the Memories page. Simply deleting content, even if it is purely anecdotal and suited for the Memories page, is disallowed in most cases; doing so in part of an edit war makes things worse.

So, like I said, the main reason for your ban is that you were involved in an edit war. Your ban will last one week, after which I hope you will return to the site, but avoid conflicts such as this one (unless I decide and/or others convince me that your part in this conflict was worse than I thought -- I don't think this is the case, but then again, it's 4 a.m.). The site gets few Saratogans compared to CTYers from other... sites... and as one of the primary representatives of your community, I ask that you look at your own edits more objectively with regard to scope and significance, and that you take more care -- ideally, the same level of care -- when dealing with others' content, and give it the same treatment you would give your own edits.

(The reasons described above are the same reasons for User:Heisatcty09's and User:Legend123's bans.)

You are, by the way, free to appeal your ban, although since it's relatively short, unless one of the admins or other people who serve as my checks convince me otherwise, I'll probably just let it sit.
