Mac vs PC spoof focusing on wiki companies. Wiki freezes up fearing administrators in this version of the Mac PC wiki spoof. Video from http://www.Wetpaint.com
I think they mean the general atmosphere - "feeling welcome" and being "encouraged". Compare for example to the German Wikipedia. Someone works for hours on a page, a couple of minutes later a rampant admin deems it insignificant and deletes it immediately, irrevocably and without discussion. That's not how you motivate people to edit and improve, and German WP is quickly dying because of this. Of course this is outside Wetpaint's influence and just something they request from the site admins.
I could create a page suggested that the world was created a day ago by a ham monster called "Shial" on WetPaint, but would that add to the information store of knowledge?
No, it would only clog up the server with another nonsensical page.
How can then make it a site orientated on factual learning if people are allowed to write ridiculous things such as, "MY SISTER IS CALLED BOB SHE IS THE 132 TZAR OF RUSSIA" instead of describing what the actual royal line of Russia is?

That's the stupidest thing I ever heard. How can they control fact and fiction if the users are allowed to write whatever they want?
