Okay, this may be a bit controversial. While we shouldn't care what people do or say outside our borders, there's a thick line that shouldn't be crossed. Lately, some users have been going out of their way to go to a creator/author's twitter just to ask them questions about vs debating. Now that's absolutely fine. But when you constantly do it, especially to a non-English speaking author who doesn't understand the language and has to use Google Translate just to communicate, it becomes harassment.
I personally believe we should not condone such behavior and should at least make a note kindly asking our members not to go too far when talking with these authors and kindly refrain from doing so. It's to a point that I'm being asked to translate their questions just for twitter.
This is a problem because the internet is vast but it will look bad on our wiki if we are known to have users harassing authors on twitter. My only problem with my own suggestion is that even some of our regulars use different sites so nothing can truly stop them from doing so but at the very least we don't want to be involved. What do you all think?
