Ok I am having major problems here. Can someone who
has experienced this help me out?? When the admins are
just targeting you. I still cannot believe this. There
is vandalism going on in the pages of so many that I
edited and everyone agreed on, now people are changing
it to make it seem so biased. Take a look at "ball
hog" article for instance why is there a picture of
KOBE BRYANT on it??? It is total bias.

Two invaluable pieces of advice.
1. Calm down. Acting in an irrational fashion is going to cause people
to label you as an idiot who shouts, screams and rants like a child,
and who therefore isn't worth helping with...
2. Discuss it on the relevant talk pages. If a consensus cannot be
reached or if problems begin to occur, raise a request for comment on
the specific page - see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment - and
bring the matter to a wider audience.
Please remember that admins on this site are a bunch of editors with a
few extra tools. Their purpose is not to serve as moderators of
content; I'm of the school of thought that when it comes to resolving
a content dispute, the admin's job is akin to dragging apart two
fighting children and holding them apart until they calm down and
begin to resolve their differences.
Stop posting to the mailing list with long rants full of
capitalisation, cul-de-sac arguments, irrelevant points, etc. Get the
simplest facts out, and someone will help. Confuse and annoy the shit
out of people, and they'll respond by deleting your posts.
