User:Pinsplash/(hopefully) final statement on VDC

Man, can we forget that shit? I know some of the stuff I did on vdc was bad looking back. Some arguments could have been avoided if I was less stubborn. I do regret the severe lack of discussion that happened regarding the entity article template, and I sort of regret starting it cause now that I've quit everything's just even more fucked up over there. I didn't want it to end like many other suggestions do: on a thin sliver in the middle of a talk page.

Incidents that happened on VDC could have been much less severe if Jeff Lane or another admin had actually stepped in even once. Valve attempted to apply their usual "free for all" crap to the wiki, where they just let the community decide everything. That doesn't work! A wiki needs present higher authorities in order to function, period.

VDC had flawed methods from the start. SE will try its best to fix the problems that arise. It may fail, it may not. Other criticisms of VDC are scattered around some of the help and project pages.
