User blog:NekoChan96/The Designs... yet again.

Hello guys, this is NekoChan96, or Neko, whichever you like/prefer. For those who do not know me, I'm just a once-active member who lives on the other side of the world (or something) that is stuck in the middle of the school year.

Okay, I am just visiting my all-time favorite Wikia, when these members in the chatsite are complaining about the backgrounds for being too light or too dark. And we have staffs arguing about the designs. Not trying to offend though, it's just from my personal observation.

Okay guys, here's the thing.

Wiki doesn't look like crap as they say. I know the admins and staffs are always trying their best to do what the crowd says, but some things just look... IDK, out-of-place.

How about this:
 * 1) Ask. If possible, try to do a thread about the designs (Because I think Blog Posts aren't suitable). Gather all the opinions and suggestions as you can. Don't try and take anything personally though, it could start a flame war.
 * 2) Cooperate. Now, as admins and staffs of this wikia, cooperate. Don't go 1-player mode, be a team. Use what the users have to say, and try to balance it. Don't just talk, listen. You could also accept your (admins) opinions.
 * 3) Look back. Look at the pages (front page, article, user pages, etc.) and ask questions. "Is it too dark?" "Too light?" "Fonts too hard to read?" And see how it could be improved.
 * 4) Little things. Okay! So let's say you guys agreed on something and decided to apply it, but some things seems out of place (like the logo, for example). Don't touch the background/color scheme you've worked on, but instead adjust those things so it will match it.
 * 5) Ask again. Try to gather their opinions. Is the new design better? Any suggestions?
 * 6) Finalize. If there are no more complaints about the design, declare it as the final design. Until it gets old and boring and probably we'll have to repeat the steps again.

Just some tips:
 * Communicate. To become a united, strong community, we must communicate with each other. Not just talking, listening is also a key.
 * Patience. Relax. The perfect design won't just come in a few seconds, sometimes it takes months. But in the end, it'll be worth it.
 * Respect. This applies to all the impatience members and trolls. Respect. I can't believe the admins get cyberbullied. THEY. WORK. HARD. So they deserve it. You think it's easy being an admin? think again (I've been there, and it was too hard).

That's all. It's just my opinion and all ^^
