Here's a page you all should read.

Yes Kayenta I do have this weird belief in my right as highest ranking staff member to enforce the rules. I'll end my replies directed at you there.

Xia. As I told Dart, as I told Mioku, and as I would have told you, had you not put me on ignore last time I suggested Kirigakure's mulish behavior might contributing to their recent woes, there are rules for the canon items claims list.

The rule enforced is an inactivity clause. If the holder of a canon item is inactive for a period of 90 days than the item can be claimed, first come first serve, by whoever takes them. This is to make sure that the items from the series that we all know and like stay available to be interacted with in the world at large. Kirigakure has had those four swords listed as sealed for upwards of a year now. That was never something it was agreed you could do, it is just something you did on your own.

Yes, I was told Gitsune occasionally pulls the swords out of storage and spars with something before putting them back. That is a loophole in the rules and one that I am not allowing. You could keep the swords sealed away for 89 days, dust them off and swing them around, and then put them back in storage. That is not the kind of behavior I want to encourage.

Believe it or not this was not even my idea. I knew for a time that, yes, your swords could be claimed with the inactivity clause. I had no reason to kick the hornets nest that is Kirigakure's sense of entitlement though. However with your recent trampling of the bijuu rules, frequent large arguments, and utter refusal to compromise with anyone, you've pissed alot of people off. Those people who were also willing to let your sealed claims slide were no longer willing to do so, they got tired of you deciding you get to choose what rules you get to follow,while also insisting everyone do everything just the way you want it. So they came to me as they knew that I would be willing to enforce rules, the only rules you could be forced to follow.

So yes the swords do not belong to Kiri anymore, that is not up for debate. Your swords are not special, they are not exempt to the canon claims rules. You did not invent them they were made by Kishimoto and belong not to you, the Swordsmen, or even Kiri, but to the community as a whole.

I suggested to Mioku that we do an rp where Kiri tracks down who stole the swords and attempt to get them back. Dart just wanted to fight and I agreed to that as well, I would be willing to fight all the swordsmen to determine ownership of the blades. I did not expect you to take either of those options though, I expected you to cross your arms, scowl, and go, "No! Everything has to be OUR way!" Because that has been Kirigakure's go to response for about a decade now. The fact that this topic even exists forces me to assume that that is the option you went with.

The only thing childish here is Kirigakure's stubborness and sense of entitlement and I'm sorry to say that I just do not care about either at all. Both of the options I presented about the rp and the fight are still on the table. If Kiri wants to take either of them we can discuss them further.

Xia, Kay, since your both here I am giving you both an official warning now. Edit warring on the wiki is not going to be tolerated. I am changing the claims list back, and if either of you edit it again you will be banned for a week. If you do it again you will be banned for a month. If you do it a third time you will be banned permenantly. If anyone else does it they will receive one warning before receiving a ban. Believe it or not using bans to enforce the rules of the wiki is not an abuse of my powers.

I can only hope that this might finally teach you guys to change your tune. Being willing to compromise with people and not considering yourself above the rules is going to save you guys a lot of problems in the future.
