Will The Wiki ever have a "rate limiting" system?
No. ETS uses one to cut down on bad posts, but we will never use a "rate limiter" aka a "flood control".
Will The Wiki always be free?
YES! The Wiki will NEVER be a paid service. Ever.
Will my actions on an external site affect my account on The Wiki?
Generally, no. If you're a moron at Echoing the Sound, NIN.com, or any other outside site, that does not necessarily mean that you will be one over here. There has only been one instance where someone has been barred from editing the NinWiki due to outside behavior, and it was because he threatened the life of an ETS administrator's family. NIN Wiki takes these sorts of incidents on a case-by-case basis.
