But what can editing do for you? Editing can help you “candidate” for a certain mod type or admin.

What does EDITING and SPAMMING mean to GarfieldMN?

—-

Editing is like filling a page with information that is useful so that others will understand the topic more clearly, like:

Minnesota (editing a page about MINNESOTA)

Minnesota is in the upper Midwest with many great attractions and next to Lake Superior. The biggest tourist attraction in Minnesota is probably the MALL OF AMERICA!

Great content and useful information that others will enjoy seeing

Spamming is like unnecessary content and a lot of gibberish.

Few examples:

Message wall- Positive Elixir Trade

Subject: How to be mod

Content: Make sure you get a lot of those edits in so you can be mod in 2020!

BRUH, he’s already mod, which puts this in “Spamming”, he will probably also get mod in 2020 because he’s good at CSS and you need to be mod to access the CSS page

2. Page- Spam

Content- dhsds)ndjwdjjdkjdkjdksjdksjdiwjdjejdjejddjedjhedjjekd

That’s writing gibberish!

3. Spamming to get popular

WROTE SOMETHING USEFUL ON THE DISCUSSION BOARD! NOT JUST SPAM!

Bragging: you shouldn’t be really bragging if you are spamming. YES YOU P-DOG!

Why do we need edits SO BADLY?

Edits determine what type of mod you can be. Around 2,000 for discussions mod! If you are spamming to get around 2,000 for discussions mod... will it be fair for others who actually WORK for it?

Same goes for admin, if you are spamming 6,000-7,000 edits for admin, Will it be fair if you worked hard and contributed useful Information and you have been on this wiki since the beginning and that other person has been on the wiki for 2 months, will it be fair?
