Well, if it's a problem with vandals taking things too far, I understand your difficulty. I didn't really quite understand before that it was a "this is why we can't have nice things" situation, but I can see it must be fairly difficult doing your job. I apologize, and I extend my appreciation.

I'll try to edit with care. But please also direct your attention to my proposal for content advisories. Difficulty in policing vandalism on a wiki is one thing. But watering down the actual published works out of fear of vandals is another thing altogether. I know it ultimately does not make your job easier, and I'm sorry about that; but on any wiki, I have a responsibility to the integrity of facts. We can't pretend there is no adult content on this wiki, because it documents various works that were always adult content to begin with. When I work with those topics, one of the last things I'm going to care about is whether an adult publication (or its articles) are kid-friendly, because young children shouldn't be reading those works in the first place. And if you didn't want adult content in those articles, their articles shouldn't have been in the wiki in the first place. Ultimately, TMNT is what TMNT is, both the adult stuff and the kid stuff.

On a more personal note, since I'm an adult Mirage fan and not a child or vandal, if you have a serious concern to discuss, please discuss it with me. Abrupt administrative warnings may be tough on vandalism, but they also have a chilling effect on legitimate editors, scaring them away. I've been under enormous stress walking on eggshells ever since the warning, afraid that something I say or do may suddenly receive another warning or an outright ban. There has to be a better way.
