Ok so this reply is like a month late since I had zero idea this thread existed till it was highlighted (though my favorite fighting games have distracted the hell outta me too).

My take on the whole situation....

As one of the editors responsible for one of the OG godmods (Skodwarde and his crew), I worry that I may have some blame for what has happened here (though I have nerfed the fuck out of him, and will likely either do so to Morbid Patrick, Spengbab, and Moar Krabs, or delete them outright and maybe reboot them).

But we're in the now so here's my take on it.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't slightly exhausted with all the godmode profiles, (though not outright against them overall) and even made a profile (Cereal Escalation) highlighting the chronic looping of it all. Also that blog post expressing worry about people taking all these godmods a bit too seriously I made.

That being said, I am also against the full scale deletion of these godmode profiles (unless they are clear spam/rule violations), since this wiki is very much er....libertarian, conceptually, in design so to speak.

So here are some alternate solutions I've come up with....

1: Discourage further creation of extreme spam profiles, since it's been done before, and it's certainly not gonna win you any originality points....

2: Encourage more thoughtful, creative efforts to improve the QOL of the wiki as a whole....

3: Sit every member of this wiki in a chair, put headphones in their ears, and play nothing but Type O Negative at a moderate volume, turning everyone into vampires, and suddenly all the profiles become overly gothic.
