Hey, thanks for notifying me. As the great admin I am, I always look at the opinions of others and if they have good arguments, they can convince me. I hope the same applies for you, meaning that you also look at the good things in my argumentation. And you sure give some good arguments, so I believe less firmly in my right now, but I still lean more towards keeping the categories. First of all because an idea that we see took a lot of effort to make, never gets the Very Bad Ideas category. That category is ultimately for ideas that are so bad that they can hardly stay on the Wiki. When they get this category to their idea, it also encourages them to stop making ideas, as we don't need them on the Wiki if they are really that bad. Second, they are hardly opinion based, they are about 60% factual. When I categorize an idea, I have a list of requirements in my head which ideas have to meet, about the idea itself, but also about length of the page and layout. I am sure that when I categorize an idea, most people will agree with me. The third thing doesn't happen very frequently, fortunately, and when it happens, it is counted as vandalism and we can revert it and even possibly block the user for it. In case the Wiki decides to keep on using the categories, I will look at that Spongebob idea again, because it is unacceptable that an idea is categorized very bad just because of the idea basis, indeed. I also think that without the categories, less people will look at ideas. And whenever I categorize an idea, I usually also give my opinion about it in a comment or the edit summary. The thing about the Fanfiction Wiki: We have tried it before with a separate FAQ Wiki and it was doomed to fail, as I predicted. It is a lot of work to move all ideas to a new Wiki, users will proceed to create their ideas here or can't find them anymore. Because of those reasons, I really disapprove of making a Fanfiction Wiki about Head Soccer, as far as I'm concerned. We should make work of the seventh thing. It should be in the category page at least what you have to do in order to get a certain category. And as I said on the Avatar page, without categories there is no difference anymore between good and bad ideas. If you make a good idea, you should get the Very Good Ideas category as a reward and when you make a bad idea, you should get a category that shows you that you have to improve something.
