Why does WCP Exist?

Well, I know there have been a lot of "problems" with situations over this vigilant group in the past. I know that a lot don't like this group because they have heard so many bad things about it which aren't true at all. I usually don't do blog posts on here because for a matter of time I was thinking that Wizard City Protectors would only get in trouble if we ever did start trying to help. First of all, the reason the group was made is because there are a lot of people that do use a lot of bad language the first few seconds you get in the commons. One thing I don't understand though is, why can't we remind them the game is family friendly? Wcp doesn't usually report, and I don't like the report option that much. Let me just say, when you give someone a warning, a lot of times they do learn from their mistakes and they won't do it again. If you report someone, its kind of a harsh warning. That's another situation we had over the Wcp, about the reporting. We have a lot of people in this group. Allowing 40+ people to report one person is a ban. Another situation we had was that some people got mad at us and put rude things, that weren't true on the Wizard101 wall. 3 of us were muted, and were in trouble because we were trying to help. I don't think the wcp is a bad idea at all, no matter if a few don't like the group at all. I am speaking to everyone, don't judge something you don't know much about. A few things I have noticed just from the last couple of days in the commons, is it gets worse each day. I know kingsisle does their best to try to keep the game family friendly - what I mentioned in my blog post on the 28th- Kingsisle might be too busy to try to help the situation though. If you were to make a group to try to help something that you really do care about, would you let someone destroy it when they know nothing about it? Let me say the group probably wouldn't exist, if, you went through the commons and didn't hear any of this bad stuff. That's not it though, you go through the commons a couple of seconds and you hear a lot, and younger players play this game. To tell the truth, no one wants to hear any of the bad things some have to say in the commons. I know I keep ranting about this group, but its something that I really do think is a good idea, no matter if Kingsisle doesn't allow them, or if some don't like the group- just because. When kingsisle said they don't allow groups, I am thinking of some of the bad "clans" in the game. I don't understand, we aren't allowed but they are? I don't know if kingsisle notices them though. I think a lot do know which "clan" I am talking about. I haven't had the wcp badge for a while until today. I decided, that even if we can't have the group, that does not mean we can't help the game as individuals. First of all, you guys who are very nice about this group, I really want to thank you for supporting. Those who don't like us for some reason, please give us a chance before you jump to conclusions. I think that its best to understand the group before going out there and yelling, THIS IS A BAD GROUP! If some are reading this and hate that the game is family friendly, not trying to be rude when I say this but, did you read that the game was family friendly before you even joined? Well that's all I have to say, thanks for reading!

  2. Great Post!

    I thought the part about that "clan" was particularly good, and you raise a fair point (though it took me a while to get it).

    You actually got me to stop watching Futurama to log onto Wizard101 and congratulate you in (virtual) person.

    Again, very good post. I was (sorta) responsible for one of the rumors, but I changed my mind when you explained it to me.
