Ascrazyasitgets,

This wikia is democratic. This is not my rule or a rule I made up on the fly. This rule was the community consensus. The community voted on this policy long before I was an admin. They were tired of seeing shipping wars particularly on the Clarke and Bellamy, and Clarke and Finn pages. Clarke and Finn shippers would spam the Clarke and Bellamy page and vice versa.

In the end, this type of behavior drove users away from the 100 wikia because the admins allowed free reign on comments. The community asked the admins to come up with a way to fix the comments. So we brought the idea of “keeping comments on topic about the above subject” to their attention and they voted for it.

Comments are meant to be about the above subject. This is the same for a lot of wikia’s. Some wikia’s have a no comment policy (Once Upon a Time wiki).

We are not trying to “tame shippers” we are simply asking that the ships respect one another and keep conversations about ships on their proper pages. If the pair doesn’t have a page, you could always make a forum to talk about the paring. Long term conversations should be held on the forums so that comments are not over bogged by 1 conversation.

I’m sorry if you feel upset over this. However, our Policies clearly state: "comment should be relevant to the topic". When you visit the wikia you are asked to follow the rules that have been implemented.

This means that the comment should be about the content above. Not about how “Monty and Jasper are sooo in love”, “Octavia and Lincoln are totally meant to be together”, or “Clarke belongs with such and such because such and such reason”.
