Basically we're not tyrants but we can't always let the people have there way.

As mods we attend to the community's needs but also we have to make sure the information on this wiki meets standards.

One of my early articles way back when I was starting out was about fan characters, at the time I wasn't fully familiar wit hthe policies so the article was moved to forums and I didn't like this. My argument in defence was that even though they're not directly related to Sonic or approved by Sega, they are still a major element in the Sonic community.

My article was still not allowed because even if the characters were based on Sonic and his life or a major element in the community given SNN is a fansite itself, does not grant my article the right to mainspace.

Someday I do hope we'll be allowed a Catagory:Fanon but I do symphasize with policy now and would not do it again anytime soon.

The same could be said for the Smash Bros. Veterans articles, they're not characters purely made by fan communities but they do have the same relation to Sonic which isn't enough.

We listen to what everyone has to say but same can't be said about doing.
