If this is showing up in your talk page, it's probably because you've been vandalizing or blanking out articles. Basically, vandalizing a wiki with as many users as this one is completely pointless.  This isn't so much a rule or anything as it is a statement of fact.
 
 
==Why is it pointless?==
 
 
Vandalism is pointless for the same reason it's possible: because Sonic Retro is a wiki. 
 
 
*'''ALL PRIOR VERSIONS OF PAGES ARE SAVED''', so it takes about a second to change back to the version that was up before you vandalized.  You spend 10 minutes <strike>wanking off</strike> writing about how mean so-and-so is and how Sonic sucks cock, and it takes an instant to change back, so it's a waste of time.
 
:*'''This means that your changes to the article or whatever will be visible for 2.72 seconds, tops.''' - It's really not worth the effort.
 
 
*'''People can track edits''' - Experienced editors and administrators have the psychic ability to track edits to articles without actually having to visit the articles.  They can track all incoming changes, so it takes about a second to spot vandalism.  Then another second to revert to a previous version, and all your hard work is gone.  Very experienced editors also know when you are sleeping and know when you're awake.
 
 
*'''Vandals are easy to spot''' - It's easy for said edit-trackers to spot vandals by certain qualities, so finding vandalism is even easier, especially on a relatively small wiki like this.
 
 
*'''You're just gonna get banned anyway''' - 30 seconds of vandalism-fun, and you're banned for a week, possibly permanently.  Then, the autoblock kicks in, so you can't make another edit even with another account for 24 hours.  Is that really worth the outburst? <font size=-100>Hint: '''NO'''</font>
 
 
 
So in short, you are completely wasting your time.  In the end, nothing you do will be permanent, and will take seconds to undo.  So don't bother wasting your time and making an asshat out of yourself.
