Example: "ROTG4ever" is "talking" to "Blake" on the "ROTG RP Wiki" about a "message" to "Pitch" about being "sassy" Yeah, do you see what I mean? It's annoying T-T Second, telling him how Pitch acts in the movie is great, but can be taken in an offence way, if they (in the sense of role play) are trying really hard to act like Pitch then that could offend and discourage them. I suggest you add something good about their acting. Just don't say "Your acting" because that could offend too. So, here's what I think you should say (feel free to add or take away or give suggestions or opinions or..anything)

'''I'm going to be honest now, okay? I'm not trying to offend you and please understand.'''

'''You, Pitch, seem to be acting a little sassy to both me and other users on this Wiki. I really don't want to start a fight/argument, I just want you to consider others before commenting, please. I think you're a really great Pitch Black, but you seem to be acting quite rude. Here's some advice, in the movie Pitch seems suave in a way. He's cool, kind've calm. Almost envious too. He manipulates people, but doesn't really seem to be sassy, not that there's anything wrong with it, it's just a little out of character. Other then that, you're doing great. :)'''

'''Now, like I've said before, I don't want to start a fight. I just want to tell you that I personally think you are being just a little bit rude to some users here and that it would be nice if you would slow down a little and think about it. You're not in trouble or anything, but it would be nice if you were just a little nicer.'''

'''I hope you understand and continue contributing to the Wiki. Happy editing! :)'''

See, it's quite different from yours, but it opens more doors. It's a little nicer and gives chance for more discussion about it instead of a "YOU'RE WRONG! YOU NEED TO CHANGE AND BE BETTER!!" It doesn't just tell them that they're wrong and need to change, it tells them that they're doing good, they just need some improvements. It's good to encourage so they don't feel like they're doing everything wrong and are horrible. Also, it's good to tell them that they're not in trouble. If they think they're always in trouble for everything they do, well, it's not going to help, to say the least. I also wrote "I hope you understand and continue contributing to the Wiki. Happy editing!" because it shows them that they are still welcomed and encouraged to help, instead of leaving them in an awkward "do I belong?" position. Adding smiley faces helps too, just do it at the right time. (As in don't write something like "You suck :)") Also, adding a "please" is good too. It gives them more...control, like it's their choice too, not a forced "YOU HAVE TO DO IT NOW!!" No, you don't have to copy the bold message word for word, I would like to hear your opinion as well. Ok, I can see what you mean with the quotation marks.

Should I add that I want to be friends with him and that I'm pretty sure other users would like to do the same? Or does that seem a bit rude in a way?
