If you've read my zombie improvements page you will now by now that I am always right. To further illustrate how infallible I am, I will now address the wiki's flaws in similar fashion to how I addressed the game's flaws. If you disagree, you're wrong and will be mocked.

This page maintained by Katthew and the Hitler Family for those frequent occasions when Katthew has been banned for no good reason.

Main Issues

  • The wiki is incest. Much like with any community of obsessive Internet nerds with no life, the wiki has gained a parasitic culture upon itself. A certain number of key users have formed an incestuous circlejerk - one that's all touching, since there's no possible risk of penetration involved. (Sex pun.) It would not be fair to say that these users include mods or admins. More fair would be to say that all the mods and admins belong to this group. When it comes to decisions on who's in the right and who should have the power, nepotism and bias rule the day. Fairness is a fantasy, enhanced by a kangaroo court that is nothing but a lullaby to sing the wiki's users to sleep.
  • The wiki is anal rape. Take a step out of line and you'll find your delicate back passage the victim of a heavy-handed banning, often with no debate or opportunity to plead your case. However, like with all rape, not everyone is a victim. The wiki's corrupt cluster of dictators do not prey upon their "loyal" subjects, the ones who act as they do. Following the rules has nothing to do with it, since the rules do not exist for everyone. What gets one user banned may not get another so much as a slap on the wrist. This double-standard is what makes the wiki anal rape certain users - they don't suspect that, for them, things are different and if they do as others do they'll end up getting reamed by 3 inches of moderation.
  • The wiki is lights-off missionary. (When you have a theme going, run with it.) That is to say, it is BORING. It's so wrapped up in neuroses that it clamps down on anything that isn't "standard" or "accepted". The NPOV rule was instated at my request, due to a group blatantly lying about achievements that never happened, and is now used as a catch-all excuse for deleting anything that the incest circlejerk dislikes. I was also responsible for the Suggestions page, and had I known then what kind of horrors I was unleashing, I would have stopped before it was too late. In any case, the wiki is BORING. Boring to read, boring to work on, full of boring people with boring lives who clamp down on excitement like it's the only thing that gives them wood.
