The rule that seems to upset the most people is our refusal to allow fanfiction and non-canonical material in the forums.

We allow speculation but it must be based in and argued from the existing canon. If a post misstates the canon it can be edited or removed. This upsets folks.

Teen Wolf Wikia is designed as an encyclopedia. It's only purpose is to gather information about the show and present it in a form that is complete and easily searchable.

The forums are a very small part of the overall site and have little to do with our main purpose. Originally they were designed to allow editors to discuss aspects of the site that needed work and to hash out how that work was to be done. I opened them up as a social component of the site because I thought people would want to discuss the show from a canonical viewpoint.

The current effort wants to place more importance on the social elements of the site to the determent of the encyclopedia.
