The only thing restraining me is the existence of Zico, to be honest. Per can't keep me in check. But since Zico is a bit more of an intimidating presence, I don't steamroll over everything in my way like I'd much rather wish I could. Sooooo.... you're basically the Vritra, Gehaburn, or Nidhoggr of the site? Interesting. Gotta keep that in mind. I suppose that's an accurate comparison, yes yes. It's not that I want to control everyone and everything but sometimes people make really stupid decisions which make me question the outsourcing of decisions to other people: this message wall thing is the best example so far. This format works FINE for discussion threads in the forum, and the alert button works fine for that. But talk pages work best for talking directly to other users, imo. The conversation typically stays private, as most people don't go "Oh look, a talk page edit, lemme go look"; but a message wall edit works like a thread, so it displays it, everyone can see it, and everyone joins in. There's no privacy, and it attracts people like a flame attracts a moth. The one on Ash's page was a really good example of that.
