Hi, brand new page!

Why is this the case?

That wasn’t really the case with me.

Anyways, I present:

Assuming you mean the "100 Reasons Reloaded" thread: how is it an insult to you specifically? Also, what's the deal with the "Lock this as soon as possible" thread?

I put the rules there to prevent it from getting locked, but people didn’t care. So I give up on this sort of thing.
There’s no point in asking a moderator to unlock it, so I give up.

Why? I don't think it is a good idea.
I think a more reasonable way would be to create an issue-specific thread, whenever there's some nontrivial issue without an obvious solution that is not limited to just a few wiki pages.

Unrelated, I marked for deletion two of your subpages, as content unrelated to the purpose of LifeWiki. I think such content serves no helpful purpose.
User:Hotcrystal0/How likely will a thread get locked
User:Hotcrystal0/copy of unname66609's userpage

That first thread was made for fun, and the second is just an archive. Dvgrn removed the delete template.

"Just an archive" of content that does not contribute anything helpful, is again content that does not contribute anything helpful. The wiki is not supposed to be an indiscriminate collection of information.

I know that. The reason the article even exists is because the original one got deleted.

It's a userpage rather than an article. Even as a userpage, these pages are not part of any effort to contribute something helpful. I don't really know why those pages exist.

With that said: confocaloid's point re: WP:POLEMIC is well-taken. I don't read that particular user page in that way, but if unname66609 disagrees and wants the page gone, they can message me and I will delete it.
