Well, they replied and didn't tell me to stop so idk.

Why?

Then don't ping them. Or better yet, ask! Most people tend to be understanding about that kind of situation.

Sometimes when I don't ping them it doesn't send the message to them, usually someone else that replied to the comment. But yeah I understand.

Okay- now for me the guidelines just say:

1. Be nice and treat people with respect. Keep discussions civil and be open-minded about differing opinions.2. Threads and posts that solicit upvotes will be deleted.3. Off-topic conversations will be deleted.4. Impersonation of other users or famous people will not be tolerated. If you have been banned and return on a new account, your posts will be deleted and your new account(s) will be banned.5. Spamming, trolling, or vandalizing of any kind will be deleted and will lead to your account being banned.6. Ask for help. Notice something that doesn't seem right? Or do you just have a question? Contact Fandom staff through "Give feedback" on your app's Settings screen, or via community.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contact.

What's the point here?

What I mean is that it isn't put on there, which is why I didn't know.

Sighs at

?

I know the guidelines are different, but it should probably be on the same page.

The reason I didn't check the discussion guidelines at the time is because I {kind of} have common decency, I thought i'd already know what was okay or not. I wasn't aware that pinging people would be bad, I thought it was just a thing to make sure your message was getting to one specific person.
