User blog:Nightmare9188/History of problems

Soon after I started this wiki on July 11, 2013 something happened what wasn’t a problem at that time, but would become a problem later. Ray422 and Killer365 were the first to join the wiki and asked for admin and bureaucrat rights. Since they were also bureaucrats on several other wikis and I originally wanted experienced users as bureaucrats I promoted them. For a short time they were a help. I would generously even say until the end of 2013 when this wiki still had only 41 users. But the beginning of the year 2014 already changed this. Tenkai Knights became more popular and more users arrived. In March 2014 18 users joined and in April 20 users. Also the chat and the wiki activity increased drastically. At that time there was finally no more use for inactive bureaucrats. Also problems with other users increased, in 2013 there may have been very few vandals but this was no comparison to 2014. In late April Killer365 finally abdicated and in early July Ray422 was demoted by community concensus. The drastic increase of activity finally led to the first major problem. There was an user named Punkorama, who joined this wiki to make trouble and was an enemy of our infamous later bureaucrat Master Bravenwolf who was by then known as BravenwolfTFSFTW. He blackmailed me by saying that he wants to report me to staff if I don’t report Master Bravenwolf and that I will get globally blocked for that. Due to this I blocked him and reported him to staff to get him globally blocked. Finally he was globally blocked. Most likely he came back several times, the day after as SockpuppetAccount-1 and made senseless pages one with the name “Nightmare sucks cocks”. Also he probably came back as PersonaOfDeceit in August and again said I should report Master Bravenwolf. However both accounts were blocked globally. The next big problem started two days after Punkorama first appeared. EdBoy3 who is known for running the Beyblade Wiki came as a result of Master Bravenwolf vandalizing his wiki, which was another Tenkai Knights Wiki and founded much later than ours. Understandably it didn’t have much activity. Obviously Master Bravenwolf felt obliged to vandalize there after I posted links to other Tenkai Knights Wikis which all had less than 10 users while our wiki was close to 100 users. Of course I didn’t intend that we look down on this wikis and vandalize there. But EdBoy3 ’s opinion was another. As some of you may know EdBoy3 is not an easy-going person, he tends to overreact, blocks and warns users just for making harmless jokes. As well he abused his powers on chat by banning an user who just blocked his private messages. Due to that he was called immature by a fellow bureaucrat of the Beyblade Wiki. As well he was critisized by some users who remarked that he gets too easily offended. On this wiki he hasn’t been since May 01, 2014. Soon after problems on this wiki became rare and they were moving to other wikis, where we stayed with Master Bravenwolf. We had problems with users like Jezz55 or LegendaryIce and also users from other wikis with whom Master Bravenwolf had problems. In Fall 2014 they came back to this wiki. Master Bravenwolf was promoted to bureaucrat in July for good reasons, at that time the “glorious days” of Vinny Tennyson were already over and he was inactive, Joshuajacobson95 and Grand Master Mario weren’t by far as active as they are today. Only Master Bravenwolf and TenkaiKnightsUnite29 were the key factors of this wiki along with me and brought several users here. Master Bravenwolf had the third-most edits with his combined accounts, only TenkaiKnightsUnite29 and I were towering over him. As we had experiences with him as bureaucrat on several other wikis and knew how to deal with him I decided to give him a chance after he begged but I also promoted TenkaiKnightsUnite29 to make sure to keep him under control even if he blocks one of us. Almost three months we hold bureaucrat rights together. This was of course better than one bureaucrat who has many edits and two who almost had no edits. But in September 2014 the situation turned bad. Master Bravenwolf bullied MaeManuel1 just for making a mistake. When we started a demotion vote against him, he wanted to block us, but didn’t succeed since I blocked him first. Soon after all his accounts were globally blocked. Nevertheless he returned the day after with a new account as FlamingCrimson claiming to be his friend. But there have been several proofs that it was him. After he made trouble one more week I reported him to staff again and they blocked his IP for three months. Since then he didn’t return.
