Your power/control should extend ONLY to the MG wiki and the stuff posted on here. I admire what you are trying to accomplish, but it comes off as dictating and power-mongering (and we have enough of that already in the actual game of WoW) without having to worry about whether something we say to a friend, or spoken honestly as an opinion in public, on either the MG forum, tumblr, or elsewhere, will have consequences to using this wiki. If that's the case, then people are simply better off creating their own wikis for their friends to use to avoid unnecessary 'consequences' to their 'actions'.

When the wiki acts as a place for people of the server community to come together in a safe place for content, rules need to be applied to continue that safety. When someone is deliberately hateful to entire portions of people based on things such as race or gender, it is inexcusable and brings into question why one should be allowed to participate in something meant to bring people together; if their views push the community apart.

You are welcome to your opinion and views, but the policy is in place so that there is no flourishing of this hate through using the wiki. It is hardly childish to believe it worthwhile to chastise those who spread vile things. As for personal conversations and the like; we will be handling disputes on a case by case basis. This isn't automated. These are real people looking at such things. Plus, if you're worried about your friend trying to blackmail you, it brings into question many things.
