I find this poll funny, I guess people did not think things through and only stuck up to what they value.

First, a public opinion doesn't always work when it comes to something that was banned with a specific reason. I'm not going state what happened exactly, but I would like you to take the initiative and research what had factions done to this wikia and why it was banned.

Moving on, when it comes to factions, it's a very bad experience. Perhaps you should think of it as nation. I'll give an example that was true. There was another community I am familiar with that had a section called Alliances, similar to factions. There were 3 common factions. One was known as the Arabs, one was the Kurds, and the other was Filipino. The rules stated that the section should not be used for flaming other alliances, or insulting each other, or reach to a point where it breaks most of the rules. At first, it may be seem easy to get along, but as time goes by. There's going be an alliance that wants more power and wants to overpower an another. Once they challenge that alliance, then the challenged alliance will obviously defend themselves and fight back. This fighting can evolve into insults, accusations, flaming.etc. Then admins/mods have to go in and stop that before it gets out of hand.

Now for this case, in reference to this blog http://thefutureofeuropes.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Lisastr67/Factions

You can't simply say factions should be allowed if there are no  '''spam wars. '''

That sense of agreement will not work, simply because as stated in the example above, one will want to be better than another. It's not preventable. And when people think like that, that's when it sparks a conflict. You're thinking about your own factions right? But you're not thinking about future factions that will be created by others. As time goes by, you may risk yourself getting blocked, and you're giving the admins/mods more work to do. Why do you even want factions if you already know the consquences when factions were allowed? Then of course, the whole mapping may just get less popular as factions slowly takes it's place. Then the wikia is flooded with factions stuff. Not to mention the Wikia recently is already a mess with sockpuppets.

So I don't agree with this, and I hope what I said just now will change your mind.

So if you want factions because of your own values? Go vote yes.

If you don't want the wikia to be ruined by flame wars and other stuff, go vote no.
