Why are there rules to roleplay on chat?

Why was I banned?

All of these have been asked in the past couple of days. As an admin, it's hard answering all of these questions. I have to re-explain easy rules to everyone.

The other day, a couple of admins and I were talking about these rules. How could we possibly make these rules known on the wiki? We had no clue. Kidsloveme, one of the admins, brought up about how I am good at video-making. The rules needed to be confirmed, I am good at videos. So we came up with the idea, to make a fun video explaining the rules. Now, how do we exactly do this? Let Kaitlyn, the cat, Ben, the dog, and the Robot explain it to you.

500px {| style="width:100%; border-top:1px dashed #8B4513; border-bottom:1px dashed #8B4513; margin-bottom:10px;" Rachel Berry opened the doors that led into the red and white performing arts hall of McKinley High School. She found it beneficial to enter through these doors instead of the main entrance. The punk crowd liked to hang out and they always had something to say about her animal sweaters. So what if she had a fuzzy cat on her shirt? She thought it was cute. Besides today was the day the sign ups for the fall show, Cabaret, were going to be posted. She had to get the lead. It was her destiny. If she were not cast in her school shows, then how was she ever going to be a Broadway phenomenon? And if she never became a Broadway phenomenon, how was she to become a retired actress turned talk show host? It was her dream and she would do anything to achieve it. As she walked through the doors she waved at Kurt, a boy she knew from her theatre class. He waved back, but he wasn't very enthusiastic. He pushed his hair to the side and gave a slight glare at a few football players he passed on his way out of the hallway. Freshman year Rachel and Kurt were great friends, but ever since she had been cast as Elphaba in a scene for their end of the year evaluations, and Kurt had not, he despised her.

Rachel made her way over to the bulletin board and saw the Cabaret sign ups. Beside it was a sign up sheet for the glee club. Glee club meant singing and singing meant leads for Rachel. She glanced back and forth from the Cabaret sheet to the glee sheet. She went with her gut and signed her name in curvy, feminine letters underneath a girl named Mercedes Jones who she realized was in her English class. Then she placed a sticker of a bright gold star next to her name. Gold stars were kind of her thing. {C}Meanwhile, Finn Hudson was making his way through the locker room of the McKinley gymnasium. He had to drop off some things in his gym locker for football practice and his best friend, Noah Puckerman, told him to meet him in the athletic hall afterward so they could check out the cheerleaders. Finn had no actual intention of checking out girls. He had a girlfriend, Quinn Fabray, the most beautiful girl in the whole school…or so he thought. Finn and Puck turned the corner and a bouncy brunette in the ugliest sweater he'd ever seen in his life bumped into him."Watch where you're going, Berry!" Puck said angrily. "Oh shut it Puckerman!" Rachel yelled. "F-Finn…" she gasped at the sight of who she had actually run into."Hey Rachel, don't sweat it." He gave a slight smirk and a chuckle. "I'm so sorry. Let's just be glad it wasn't like a scene in a film where the two protagonists dramatically bump into each other on a New York City street corner and Starbucks frappes dump on one of them and the other tries to dab it with a napkin causing the situation to become extremely awkward." Rachel spoke clearly."Yeah Berry, because that comment didn't make the situation awkward at all." Puck laughed. "Puck, don't be such a prick." Finn said as he smacked his friend on the back of his mo-hawk."Thank you, Finn. I'll see you in Spanish. And I'll see you in Music Appreciation, Noah. " Rachel strutted away down the hall and left Finn and Puck to check her out as she walked away. "Man, I'd sure like to get a piece of that." Puck said as he arched his eyebrow at the way Rachel swayed when she walked. Her strut was determined, confident. It turned him on."Dude, Rachel?" Finn asked. "You two practically hate each other." "Naw man, Rachel is sneaky hot and I bet if I got that sweater off of her she'd be even more fun to look at." Puck chuckled at himself and followed Finn as he began to walk down the hall again.They passed various bulletin boards filled with club sign ups. It was the first week of school and there was always an enormous amount of clubs being added, removed, and banned from the school. Principal Figgins banned the Twilight Club due to a recent outbreak of "vampirism". The real reason was because Lauren Zizes bit Jacob Ben Israel's neck during third period and he was rushed to the emergency room. 1) Quick— Once again, Quinn and Puck are shown together. We’re still hoping that this is a hint of Quick to come, but then again, the season 2 promos were shot with Quick scenes…

2) Blaine dancing with New Directions— We all knew that this was going to happen at some point, but it is still exciting to have it confirmed! Not only is Blaine onstage, but Tina is at the front! Hopefully this is a sign for story arcs. And the purple outfits are most likely alluding to the purple piano.

3) Sue getting glitter bombed— Why is Will glitter bombing Sue and why is Emma filming it? Due to a clip of Sue storming down the hallway later, I think it’s safe to say she won’t stay nice for long.

4) Finn being slushied— We know that getting to Nationals changed nothing for the Glee kids after seeing the hockey team slushie Finn (“Glee-atch!”). Why do they have mullets, though?

5) Cheerios Brittana being interviewed by Jacob— We already knew that Santana and Brittany are back on the Cheerios, but we still don’t know if they’ll be just friends. We find out who’s a junior or senior through Jacob.

6) Blaine performing with the Cheerios— There’s a quick shot of Blaine dancing with the Cheerios in the schools courtyard. This has been confirmed to be “It’s Not Unusual” by Tom Jones. I’m wondering why Blaine would be performing with the Cheerios. Blaintana friendship?

7) Wemma kiss— I’m not sure how I feel about this little shot yet. To me it seems awfully like the beginning of the back nine of season 1. This relationship has been a long time coming, but to me it feels rushed.

8) Burning purple piano and Quinn with pink hair— We saw a purple piano (hence the episode name), but it was on fire. This is because (rumored) Quinn flicks a lit cigarette and accidentally burns it. Q now has pink hair, punk clothes, an insane attitude, and I guarantee that every Gleek watching said: “Hot!”

9) “We Got the Beat” food fight— New Directions makes an awesome recruitment attempt and, of course, students throw food at them. Welcome to high school.

10) Sue talking to Santana and someone else— Sue is informs Santana and Becky Jackson that they are co-captains. They’ll be pissed.

September 20th can’t come fast enough!!!

“Okay, this time I’m going to be the one putting you into groups.” Mr Schue said. Quinn stared at him in complete horror, her green eyes frozen in shock, this was new, he usually let them choose. “If you put me with Santana I will shoot myself.” She thought, “Or maybe just drug myself, no make-up could cover that bullet hole.” Mr Schue glanced around, mentally calculating who he was gonna pair up. “Okay, first...” he said after a long pause, “Rachel and Finn...are not going to be placed together.” Rachael’s face fell. “I think maybe Rachel should try a number with Santana, It’s certainly a partnership I haven’t seen before.”

“WHAT!?” Santana shrieked, “No freaking way, I’m not doing a duet with Miss Dwarf ‘I’m so amazing’ when ‘Eugh’, excuse me, you’re really not.” Rachel glared at her, her eyes like ice. “Mr Schue I’m not entirely up to doing a duet with her either I mean, vocally, our voices just don’t go and the personality clash will make rehearsing practically impossible.” Mr Schue rolled his eyes and Quinn had to stop herself from copying. As much as he hated Santana right now, sometimes Rachel made her look...nice. She was so annoying; her voice was like a car alarm that constantly wined and wined until someone took notice and turned it off. “You two are partnered up. End Of.” Rachel folded her arms dramatically but Mr Schue carried on talking before she could. Quinn couldn’t help thinking that maybe, just maybe, if Finn wasn’t with Rachel then she could do a song with him instead... plus, with Santana & Rachel together, she and the other glee kids wou ldn’t have to sit through what was sure to be the most nauseating duet between Santana and Sam. Sam... Her stomach ached, jealousy? Regret? Ha! Never... maybe? It wouldn’t be totally stupid, she had sort of loved Sam... At least she thought she had.

Finn had told her she didn’t love him, and for a time she had started to believe him, but now it really was over between her and Sam and that ache in her stomach came back day after day, much stronger than before. She tried to take her mind of it by focusing on the coming Prom. She could totally make Prom queen this year, especially with the star quarter-back at her side but she knew that that meant she’d have to sit back and watch Santana use Sam like her puppet, she could’ve sworn that Santana wasn’t really into him anyway. There were these creepy glances that Santana would shoot at Brittany; it was almost as if... never mind. Why did it hurt? That’s what didn’t make sense. Could someone really love two people at the same time? Quinn didn’t think so. But she just couldn’t stop, she loved them. Both of them. Just loved them in different ways. That was it! Different ways. Kissing Finn was like lights, bright lights, and fireworks almost but she didn’t feel the safety that she had felt with Sam. With Sam he had warm, strong arms around her and she knew that he would never hurt her, not like how she had hurt him. She could trust him with everything she had; he’d promised her that... he hadn’t broken it either.

However, with Finn it almost felt as if she was balancing on the edge of a cliff, she could fall off at any moment and the scary thing was; she didn’t know if he’d catch her. Those kisses, the way he looked at her, it was undeniable that there where sparks there, the remainders of an old fire but it was so dangerous. Then there was Rachel too. Quinn could get any guy she wanted in school just because of the way she looked, that was all that mattered to everyone, everyone except Finn. She had managed to entice him in but she couldn’t guarantee that he would stay there. Talent was important to Finn to, something that Rachel had heaps of. Rachel was her main competition; she didn’t have that with Sam. She didn’t have to compete. It was just her and him, sweet bliss. Maybe she’d just made a massive mistake with Finn; maybe she’d completely ruined everything...

She blinked and re-focused on what Mr Schue was saying. It seemed she’d missed most of it. “So, that clear so far guys? Mike & Puck, Brittany & Tina, Artie & Lauren.” Quinn felt her heart drum a little and she smiled, that left her and Finn. She pictured him and her, their acceptance speech for winning Prom King & Queen. “And Let me see...” Mr Schue continued................

Read More So, the new promo of the new season came out on Wednesday, August 31st and I must say, I think this is causing more hype then the other promo's have. Mainly due to the fact we're seeing actual footage probably.
 * style="padding-left:8px; vertical-align:top;" |

So, first, we have the whole club singing a group number in purple. Nothing much to say about this except that some people on tumblr were freaking out that Blaine was there. That's exciting, I like Blaine, but I'm afraid that he's going to steal all the solos.

Next, we have the Brittany's and Santana dodging dodge balls and a "Get Ready," title card come out.

Than, we see Will pouring, what is that? Glitter on Sue? I don't know what he says though, sorry. Sue is then throwing a dodge-ball at the screen as a "New Year," title card come up. Only suiting.

The hockey players(or so I assume) are throwing a blue slushie at Finn, I'd say poor Finn, but I sadly don't like him. But, I'm glad it's not the football players.

We then have the title card "Same Underdogs," with Kurt and Mercedes dodging the balls with it about to hit Artie.

So, then my favorite part! Brittana. Jacob asks Brittany's plans for the future and Brittany answers, in true Brittany fashion. "Are you building a time machine?" So, all I can say is that Brittana has their arms linked and ya!

We see someone's butt, hopefully Santana's, in front of the screen, followed by a bit of that lunchroom scene from "We Got the Beat."

Then, Blainetana. Not going to comment. Well, I guess i will, but I don't care because Santana's a Lesbian and it's never going to happen.

Wemma kiss. I'm more of a Carlma fan, but it took over a season to get another kiss if I'm correct? Ya... no comment.

Now! My next favorite scenes! The piano exploding and, Quinn walking all bada** down the halls. Sorry, couldn't think of another way to put it. Her with the pink hair is epic!

Food fight! I've always wanted to be in one of these. Well, I can't wait for this one! I wonder how it's going to start.... questions.

So, that's it. I know it's long, but it covers most of the major stuff. So, until next time. Bye :)

Note: This is written as if it was actually for the muckraker. Enjoy!

Former Head-Cheerleader Lucy Quinn Fabray has been spotted on a local mall with a new and surprising outfit and look. And did we also mention a new hairdo?

Sources claimed that Ms. Fabray seems going for the opposite. And when opposite, we mean, Pink dyed hair and a wardrobe that gives off a bad girl persona. Sources also spotted the Little Miss Perfect Princess showing off a black shirt with an upside down cross printed on it. Hmm..it seems like Miss Fabray's Christian values are being disregarded. We all know the past of Quinn Fabray. From Head-Cheerleader and President of the Celibacy Club to the pregnancy fiasco that completely ruined her perfect reputation. We also held a survey that involves Quinn Fabray's new look. "Quinn Fabray's new look:Hot or Not?". 83% of the student body voted for "hot" side. "My baby mama seems to be going on my side. Badassness turns me on." Noah "Puck" Puckerman commented. From sources, there are also reports that the Badass king Puckerman seems to be hitting on his former girl, which we all know is Quinn Fabray. Reports said that Puck dumped Lauren Zizes for Quinn. There are also rumors circula ting around the school that Puck and Quinn were spotted chilling out in Breadstix. "They were all being lovey-dovey and holding hands and other crap like that. It's disgusting." The fierce Latina, Santana Lopez says, reporting the sight she just saw in Breadstix. It seems that Santana Lopez is still not over to Puckerman...or is she? "Pssh. I am so over to that walking Valtrex ad," Lopez says. "And besides, i already found someone else." She added. And we also noticed her and Brittany Pierce having some issues lately. Like Santana shooting some lovey-dovey looks to Ms.Pierce. Hmm...smell something fishy?

Back to the poll, 17% disagreed and went to the "not" side. "I firmly believe that Quinn i just having some issues lately. This new look of her is not tolerable at all. It's not her." The school's Glee Club Co-captain Rachel Berry says. The school was bombarded with angry reports from devout Christian mothers after seeing Miss Fabray's new look. "This is blasphemy! I cannot accept this. This is a huge insult." Katrina Valencia, the mother of Celibacy Club's current president, Katherine Valencia, says. While Miss Valencia has a point thrown there, the majority of the student body still finds Quinn Fabray's new look welcoming and acceptable. Many questions are still left unanswered about the mystery of Quinn Fabray. Will she completely turn back her Christian values? Will she join the Cheerios again? Is she gonna get back together with Noah Puckerman? When is she gonna change her look? Questions will still remain unanswered. But we will, however, respect the coming decision to one miss precious Quinn Fabray.

This report outlines any notable technical changes made by Wikia and by Glee Wiki admins in the last two weeks.
 * New user profile mastheads have been implemented by Wikia, to a mixed reception from the wider Wikia community. Other than a number of privacy nuts, the concept behind this redesign has generally been praised. There are several widely-criticised design flaws, however, most notably including excessive under-utilised space. I am confident that these will be rectified in the coming weeks; thus, no site-wide styling changes are currently planned.
 * The Glee Wiki homepage has added a featured Gif option!
