User blog:Vadron/Protest Alien Fests!

In the wake of the Cannonbolt fests, a new wave of fests are being proposed. A Heroes United fest is currently underway, and a Christmas fest is coming soon.

This must stop.

In the first place, how are we going to recognise each other with our avatars changing so often? It would become hopelessly confusing.

In the second place, fests encourage specials. Imagine how much trouble this would end up causing if fests continue coming at the rate they are now! Every other episode in a series would be a special. This makes series considerably harder to 'believe in', so to speak. Real television series do not have so many specials.

This is the Ben 10 Fan Fiction Wiki, not the Alien Fests Wiki. A fest may be fun every once in a while, but they must not be allowed to overshadow the proper purpose of this wiki, which is to produce fan-made stories based on the Ben 10 franchise.

Therefore, I have started a petition. I am confident that there are others who share my views and will be willing to protest this intrusion into the normal functioning of this wiki. Petition is below:

We, the undersigned, request strict moderation of alien fests on this wiki to the following effect:
 * 1) There shall be no more than one fest every two months;
 * 2) The focal alien of each upcoming fest should be voted on by the community, and;
 * 3) There should be no 'fixed order' of fests (such as proposed by omernoy), as this will get stale very quickly.

Until and unless such measures are put in place, we will not participate in any alien fest. Furthermore, we will pretend that fest specials do not exist; we will not read them or comment on them for any purpose.
