I am not exaggerating when I say that truly despise the hostile behaviour of administrators like Westwall(de.metapedia.org) .

They don't allow proper communication. They are easily annoyed because of simple question. They're closed-minded.

I have been given a new account on de.metapedia.org, named Anon9 , which Westwall spells “A9”, because typing “non” is apparently too hard for him.

Instead of engaging in a sincere debate here(de.metapedia.org), he called me an entertainment artist (“Unterhaltungskünstler”).

Again, he accuses me of being a different user I never have heard of prior to him mentioning it ( Part Time City Troll )

Maybe he does not know about the <ref name="" />syntax, but he does not allow me to teach him that, because guess what. His last reply:

Und ich warne davor - ein erstes und ein letztes Mal - in diesem Stil hier weiter zu verfahren. -- Westwall(de.metapedia.org) 16:33, 18. Lenzing (März) 2020 (UTC)

Translation:

And I am warning you, for the first and last time, to continue here in this style. -- Westwall(de.metapedia.org) 16:33 UTC, March 18th 2020

An absolute closed-minded and counter-productive attitude.

If I taught Westwall that <ref name="anything" />is valid wiki syntax , he would ban me again.

To phrase it politely, Westwall behaves like a disgrace.

I was treated much nicer by the other administrators Thore and Hyperobeer . But I doubt they would defend me against Westwall if he choses to ban me again at his discretion.

I hope that one day, the Internet will be free from hostile jerks like Westwall.

I just took a look at the page you referenced.

One can conclude that Westwall is indeed cancer.

He threatens to re-suspend you over a simple question and for a harmless page on your own user name space!

Westwall is apparently a typical narcissist and shows sociopathic tendencies.

People like him should be removed from any moderation position.

I have heard that trying to contribute to Metapedia is not that easy because of the moderation, so it's not restricted to the German Metapedia. While I read Metapedia from time to time, I wouldn't be tempted to contribute to it as it looks too many of its mods have an ego problem.

Indeed.

Also, even getting in might not be so easy because the people who handle account requests tend to be inactive.

But I have done some research and found out that the German Metapedia also has some peaceful administrators like the user Thore .

On some discussion page, a user posted suggestions to install some useful MediaWiki extensions. Apparently, Metapedia currently only has a mininal MediaWiki installation.

Really? I am sorry to hear that. That's downright hostile.
