here is just about everything that has happened here. this is just to act as a reference.

original review discussion (NM8,GG,Jet)
 * consensus was agreed upon that included allow others to create their own reviews on the same page
 * a few weeks later when GG asked, Jet changed her mind
 * consensus was thus broken
 * new review template was a part of the consensus
 * Jet posted both a mini and full version
 * mini review failed due to users messing with them
 * Jet had me start discussion, led to no general consensus
 * months later, Jet finally deleted the failed template

first attempted merge with NBW
 * decided the outcome with GG without really starting discussion with either community
 * GG abandoned NBW, forced NSA to revive it 5 months later to preserve content due to attacks on NBW.
 * no discussion over removing “blaster comparison” pages
 * from the discussion over possibly deleted the mini review template (a failure), there was support in being able to create their own reviews; replaced entirely with formal review without consideration

special request - Hasbro
 * since i didn't trust jet, i still don't now, i asked MLD a special favor since we are still good friends.
 * i sent in a full request over everything nerf wiki has missing and info that i needed for DBE.
 * MLD agreed and kept me up to date on progress
 * my mistake was informing jet, who obviously got mad for not having discussion take place.
 * jet demanded MLD release info to her
 * i requested MLD keep quiet as i knew she would mess it up
 * test: i let jet know, just to see what happens...
 * jet was given a contact from MLD to PR
 * jet messed up request, forgot loads of info. only got google image search results. big time failure. nothing was accomplisted
 * i was still able to get my answers through others in the community linked to hasbro, not everything but the most important stuff.
 * a sad setback, MLD had a bit of trouble regarding the "centurion" leak. not his fault but PR made him a scapegoat to cover themselves.

recent vandalism crisis
 * RNN provoked a few users into attacking here
 * GG responded by asking wikia staff to monitor the wiki
 * continued attacks occur with only blocks/chat bans by GG/jet
 * eventually i grew tired and tried to ping VSTF through their IRC
 * Cook Me Plox somehow managed to get the ping or was monitoring and came on chat to help out
 * eventually, i managed to get the vandal to leave chat since jet failed to ban him - waste of time
 * jet blocked the user but didn't chat ban him
 * following all this, a few more socks popped up and then i sent in a request for a global block
 * an ip range ban was put in place by Sanese along with a few more blocks,vegadark also put a few more blocks in place
 * only after all that did jet think of doing something finally - abuse filter

email to jet
 * due to the continuous disruptive actions of many in the community i sent jet an email
 * response was that a new COC was being written, additionally was a promise that rules would be enforced
 * barely enforced rules so far
 * i'm the one removing hostile messages left by RNN/NN666, some were even restored by GG!
 * jet was on before i removed most of the hostile messages, yet did nothing!

Enforcing rules
 * blocks spammers/vandals pretty fast, that i can give credit for
 * hesistant on blocking disruptive users (RNN, NN666)
 * RNN has been blocked on other wikis primarily for his behavior
 * this is the second global block that RNN has since received over his continued behavior.

In general
 * unless completely off-topic, doesn't really bother to delete unless a request is left
 * does not thank when her errors are pointed out or notify that requests are completed - she apparently views completing the request as a response...
 * still has not asked wikia staff for portal set up - a bit late now
 * little regard towards leaks unless prompted to deal with it
 * if within 48 hours that new stuff is discovered and not taken down, its not a leak
 * only removed "mega" leak (MLD) when NMR received email response from PR regarding recent information release to not further spread the information
 * resulted in mud sling towards MLD by PR (Nerf Nation) due to communication failure; wasn't his fault, was told to release by PR
 * thinks is owner of wiki - false, all wikia hosted wikis are community based not personal/owner. founders are not owners, same can be said for bureaucrats.
 * i have seen my share of admins on small/medium sized wikis who don't understand the fundamental points.

Failed Implemented Ideas
 * mini review template
 * portal system
 * older templates: leaks, rumors - no longer needed, technical violation of legal laws
