Wikis are stupid.

A Wiki is a website that enables the public to add or edit its content. The very idea is stupid simply because the public can't write decent content. Also, humans generally tend to act as vicious vandals whenever they can conceal their true identity.

The cleverest wiki available on the internets today is called the Encyclopedia Of Stupid. It is easy to recognize a wiki whose content was provided by the public. If you run by any wiki whose content is a little better than the following sample:

today iam writing an artecel about politics.......gorge bush 
is an great polititian and we love him as the leeder of our 
great nation cuz he aint no fuckin democrat and cuz all 
democrat they are gaay lol bye

chances are that it was not written by the public.


Users

Depending on the type and theme of the wiki, the frequent editors of a wiki are either people who get paid to do so, or geeks with too much free time who just had a fight with their girlfriend, and have absolutely nothing better to do. Of course, they can also be vandals (see below).


Vandalism

Vandalism is stupid.

It is indeed the heart and soul of pure stupidity. The main difference between a wiki and a forum is that users can edit the existing content of a wiki, including articles posted by someone else. This feature was the main attraction point to a lot of fags who enjoy destroying the work of others, or leave personal comments nobody else on the planet would care about. Different types of vandalism are often found in popular wikis

  • A person deletes an entire article, with all its pictures, illustrations, and references, and leaves in its place a single-line comment, that is usually ultra-gay, that says something like "<some fag name> owns you!!!!!".
  • A person tries to be a smartass by hiding offensive comments inside long articles, so that they can't be discovered by vandalism reversal officers on the websites. Surely, those smartass users don't know there are automated tools to track, detect, and reverse such stupid vandalism, so they continue to do the same stupid thing over and over again.
  • A person is new to the concept of wiki editing. He just can't believe that he has the freedom of speech to say whatever he wants. He also can't believe he has a green light to modify anyone else's articles whenever he wants. So, filled by curiosity, he creates his first wiki entry, which wholly consists of a single word: "hello".

Ironically, most vandals wont' even come back to the same page to realize that their stupid crap was reversed an hour later. Therefore, they will never understand what happened!
