→Vandalism: Attempting to fix my formatting mess-up
::::::Perhaps, but I generally don't support long-term protection. It doesn't stop vandals, it just redirect them to other pages.

This guy might have been discouraged by timely temporary protection. However, I don't think the pages should be permanently protected. F.Y.I., Ameriwiki was, as I understand it, <strike>the precursor to CP</strike>. SamHB explained it to me once, but unfortunately I've forgotten the details since. I'll see if I can find his post of that from a year or so ago to me. You could ask him, though. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 20:49, 15 May 2017 (EDT)

First, I don't think the page should be protected. This guy probably won't come back, and there are lots of pages for lots of people to vandalize. That's why so many people have vandalism-stopping block powers.

:Nononono, Ameriwiki wasn't a precursor to Conservapedia. It was created by refugees from CP; think of it as "conservatism without the obsession with bestiality and obesity". But we took ourselves too seriously, and there wasn't much of a market on the internet for seriously trying to preserve that which is good about society. There are way too many web sites like that. Making fun of CP, which is what RW was about, was way more fun. They were so successful that they branched out into making fun of all sorts of things, and are trying to get away from just ridiculing CP.

OH! Well I got that considerably wrong then--thanks for the correction. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 23:46, 15 May 2017 (EDT)
