No more admins
I think we should not make any more admins until we have more users as 3 out of the 5 active users are already active admins.--01:25, 13 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I dont honestly see whats the matter with having more admins. There are not really any downsides as the only thing it does is make any administrative functions flow quicker and actually help the wiki in regardless to vandalism and deletions. Royal Orleans 01:53, 13 May 2008 (UTC)


 * The thing is if everyone is an admin then new users will request adminship faster and there is an increased chance of block and edit wars.--01:56, 13 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Still that is speculation, we do not know weather new user will until it actually happens. Also the increase in administrators would most likely do nothing to effect edit war's. Also what I see happening is that Since more editors would have administrative powers blocks could be more easily over turned and oversights will lead to more responsible blocks. And I fail to see how more admins would result in greater edit wars. Royal Orleans 02:04, 13 May 2008 (UTC)


 * A wiki this size does not need 5 admins. One b'crat and 2 admins is enough.--02:23, 13 May 2008 (UTC)


 * You still fail to give a reason why any more administrators would be a "Bad" thing. Royal Orleans 02:27, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Here's a good reason: As Bigm and Fedarated have shown, admins here seem to get into block fights on a semi-regular basis. If we had more admins, it may escalate from semi-regular block fights to a block war. 03:48, 13 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Thats exactly what I said but Bones said that won't happen--09:22, 13 May 2008 (UTC)


 * With more admins any resulting fight of one of two admins would result in someone being able to intervene. I also blame the last fight on a lack of "guidelines/rules" and a over tendency to block (no offense). As Again multiple administrators will provide different points of view to any administrative action and will be able to intervene. Also Chia we have TWO active admins that get into a fights somewhat often. Seeing the actions of two people in a fight should hardly be used to judge against others.

One more admin would be fine and that should be either Bones or Jack, cause they both are devoted to fixing grammar, rewording articles to remove "I" or "Me", and they both do many cleenups. One more admin would be fine.

Majority or consensus?
Currently, we operate on a majority vote. If 50% of people are for something, it happens. On most other wikis, they operate on consensus, meaning a more general agreement has to be reached (i.e.: 60%, 75%, etc.). I vote for conensus myself. 03:48, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

I agree. I think it should be 75%--09:22, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah that's fairer. The majority will be most appropiate to go by.  Th e p  ark  st er  Co mu  ni  c  at  io ns  Co  nt  ri  b  ut  io ns |undefined ''' 11:01, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Main page protection
Recently, the main page was blanked. The main page is the page that everyone sees when coming here. If it has vandalous content on it, it can give the wrong impression of the site. Before causing any protection war, I'd like to start a vote on whether we should protect it so IPs can't edit. This will mean that non-admins, like Jack and Bones, can still edit it, but new guys (accounts less than four days old) can't edit it. I vote for. 02:08, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I have seen Wikipedia's article of the day be vandalized, and I was very dissappointed. It makes the administraters and other editors on the site look bad. I think that some vandalizers may wait that four days anyways. There should be an edit minimum to access larger, more important editable pages. 06:03, 7 June 2008 (vote doesnt count. newly registerd.)


 * I have done this many times, but It is always unprotected. Yes, we should do that


 * I oppose. According to wikia central the main page should not be protected unless it has come under attack by many vandals. one of two attacks every now in then are the norm so to say. --23:15, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * A semi-protection(i.p's cant edit) would be ideal. Because its usually the "first" page any readers come into contact with it would probably be best if only regular remembers could edit it. Though this wont stop all vandalism, we would be able to block their account without blocking any I.P's and hurting any innocent editors. Royal Orleans 13:37, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

New logo
After my failure that was Forum:New Name for Wiki, I was a little reluctent to start this new forum. One of the main reasons I said Ghillepedia (On the suits snipers wear in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare), cause they look so Awesome. And that got me thinking, after one of our editors said our logo looks like a donkey taking a shit then throwing up on it (AVGN pwnage), we should have a Ghille Suit on our Logo. That would be majorly kickass. Share youre thoughts. 11:39, 10 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Its a great idea and i wouldn't oppose it if it looked good. Though i think we should have a bunch of WWII era soldiers because most of the games take place in the conflict, representing most of the game. OR!!!! ( just thought of it) We have one of the protagonists from each of the game back to back of each other. <font style="color:#FFFFFF;background:#0000FF;">Royal <font style="color:#0000FF;background:#FFFFFF;">Orleans 22:20, 10 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I do not have the have the tools to create a better logo, I only have acces to paint. I could borrow my cousins IMac but Im not up to speed with its features. We need someone to make it.

I think it should stay WWII-era. Out of eight games, seven are from that war, after all. I have access to Photoshop, so I'll be able to whip something up if needed. 23:31, 12 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I Honestly thing we should go up with my idea,(1 of the protagonists from each game standing next to each other). I think mine would best sum up all of the games if it was possible. <font style="color:#FFFFFF;background:#0000FF;">Royal <font style="color:#0000FF;background:#FFFFFF;">Orleans 00:40, 13 June 2008 (UTC)


 * The only problem I have with Bones idea is that we dont have good pictures of the Main characters, cept in Finest Hour. Theres no real story to them either, mostly your allies have story, and Chia even though most games were in ww2m cod4 brought many players who didnt play cod to it so we have to think

Wiki theme
The Defualt theme for no longed in users is never updated. I suggest we just make it the wikipedia lookin one. <font style="color:#000000;background:#FFFFFF;">Prec <font style="color:#FFFFFF;background:#000000;">ence 19:35, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Ads "eating" the main page
Something needs to be done about them. They cover the text on the main page--21:35, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
