To the Mother of Spkavyia2012,

We here at the Warehouse 13 Wiki and Warehouse 13 Artifact Database Wiki would like to express our apologies to you over any problems that have arisen in your household because of interactions between us and your son, who goes by the screen name of Spkavyia2012. We never meant for these interactions to be hurtful to your son's self esteem or to cause unnecessary issues.

However, we feel we owe you an explanation for why your son was banned from both wikis - there is a certain unfairness in being limited because of a lack of information. We respected your son's creativity - he came up with some very interesting ideas for the wikis, after all. As a creative force, he was very motivated. Our problem arose when it was discovered that he didn't react positively to any critique on our part. Whenever we gave him an analysis of his work, your son would get angry at us, typing back at us in capital letters and insulting us. An example of the latter is when he wrote back to a user who critiqued his work:

"Judge your own self because i am not trying to be mean but are you one of the guys who sits on the computer all day with no friends doesnt hang out with people. We'll let me tell you what i do im a jock on the football team i have a girlfriend im popular and i have a  LIFE. :)<3<3<3"

And so on.

This happened several times, so administrators banned him from the Warehouse 13 Wiki.

However, by this time your son had also been aquainted with the Warehouse 13 Artifact Database Wiki, and began to make posts there. While he started out being very courteous and polite, a personality change that we were all happy about, it eventually became clear that he had become obsessed with trying to please one of our members. Your son would leave messages all over this particular member's wall, and when interacting with this member publicly would not leave him alone, asking him constantly to join your son's wiki despite this member's adamant wishes to not join.

We wish to have all users on these wiki pages to have respect for each other and follow the rules of conduct. But if there is a consistent breaking of these rules that does not lead to a positive outcome, an appropriate punishment must be put into effect. Given the anonymous nature of the internet, the only defense against those who harm or harass others that Wikis have is banning users or IP addresses, and such a punishment is carefully judged before being implemented. While we do not claim to know your son, the actions and attitudes he showed to us gave us cause to ban him.

We know that in all honesty, there is a strong chance that you will find no comfort in this letter, and that you may dislike us even more for trying to talk with you personally on the matter. But just as you as a mother will want to protect your family, we want to protect ours, as well. We can only hope that you will see our side of this story, and perhaps we will all be able to move forward from this with respect towards each other.

Sincerely,

The Warehouse 13 Wiki team and Warehouse 13 Artifact Database Wiki team.
