User blog:AmazingAncientWorld/Some rules repressive: too much restriction on freedom of speech.

Note: I’m not being a troll or dissing this wiki by posting this. I myself am an admin of a few wikis and fully understand the purpose of fair rules, but some of these rules present on this site seem a bit suppressive and unfair towards new editors, beginners, constructive critics, and inquirers. I’m not here to hate, troll, or upset this wiki. I just have some questions with some of the rules. I would appreciate  these issues be explained to me.

===Controversial Rule 1: DO NOT COMMENT ON ANCIENT BLOGS, SUCH AS SOMETHING THAT HASN'T HAD NEW POSTS IN A FEW MONTHS. Three day block from editing if you do and it is a horribly unnecessary comment.===

~ What is the purpose of this rule? Anti-spamming commentary rules already exist; this rule does not effect that. As far as I can tell, the only purpose this rule has is to prevent old ideas and criticism from being explored, which is in no means justified. If there is another reason for this other than spam, please comment it below. ===Controversial Rule 2: If a user is blocked on one of our sister wikis, due to the interconnected sharing of administrative staff, it can be considered in effect here if the user has committed severe violations on all three wikis, participated in cross-wiki drama, or otherwise did something that could negatively affect this wiki as well.===

~ This seems to be flat out corruption, correct me below if I am wrong, but this merger excuse seems to justify blocking someone on this wiki without the contributor actually committing anything violation of the wiki’s general rules. Theoretically, someone who did nothing wrong on this wiki could be blocked. In all fairness, someone should only be blocked if they did something to deserve it, rather than being blocked for alleged crimes on another wiki. It’s almost like a contributor could be blocked here even if they only visited the site once. I understand why this rule is in place (to maintain order), but it seems a little excessive to block someone for unrelated action.

Controversial Rule 3: Bad faith edits, or edits meant to lower the quality of the wiki or are otherwise malicious.

~ My only critique on this rule is that it seems to be too vague. Please elaborate on this.

Thanks for your consideration, it is much appreciated.

Best regards
