After some time I have been really thinking about this. Should w eoutlaw it? Nah we shouldn't. Pffft it can be fixed.
I was utterly wrong. It keeps hyping this wiki's drama up and quite frankly I am sick of it as a user and as a role-player that it seems we can not sort things out certain ways without arguiing and causing drama. So simply put a sthe title suggests: we outlaw all role-play. The end. Have a nice day. Face it:Nobody likes it being filtered and all and they just dont like it. So yes lets just do away with it. However, w ewould be moving this Role-Play to a sister wiki. I suggest we appoint an Admin or two from here and appoint an RP Leader (whom is active) or two over there. We would also make different more fitting rules for the wiki we outlaw role-play too. W ehave already begun this process.

I for one fully agree with that statement. Admins should not be allowed to "control" another's roleplay but merely oversee what happens within the community. However, I agree, Albert. The roleplay on POTCO needs a complete overhaul (if it even continues). Before all this county crap began, the roleplay on POTCO was a lot more controlled and overall, a better experience.
Oppose - One of the main reasons that this Wiki runs is because of RP. If you remove the RP from this wiki, you'll lose a good majority of your active members. Think about that as you vote. You'd be practically shutting down the wiki's activity.

Admins do not "control" roleplay here—contrary to what the users who oppose order here enjoy claiming, in hopes of defacing the admins even further. The wiki regulates roleplay here, and will have to do so in accordance to rules, users that are banned here, minimizing drama, etc. The admins are mere enforcers of our rules here, though they also have the task of passing/voting on rules, or otherwise keeping order here and preventing drama.

Judging by that comment, I'm assuming you weren't here for the wiki's golden age. Long before country roleplay became so influential here, back when it was the minority, the wiki rocketed with activity, stories, things such as FAOTW, wiki oscars, etc. After roleplay became so popular here, we began to experience large amounts of drama, not-so-coincidentally over roleplay, as well as users who are simply too used to being "in charge", and thus blatantly oppose keeping order here. Seeing that they can't cease, and refuse to let us regulate it to minimize the drama that goes on here, the only reasonable solution seems to be removing country roleplay entirely. Sure, we'll probably lose most, if not all, of the active country roleplayers, but with less drama defacing the site, we'll eventually gain more members—particularly ones less likely to incite drama—just like we did in the wiki's golden age (2011).
