GotFrag Launches eSports Wiki (wiki.gotfrag.com)

When the idea came up, we thought this was the perfect opportunity to let the community write our own history. To chronicle, write and be a part of what we think eSports is and everything therein. Although still in beta form, it’s live and ready for everyone and anyone to contribute to, and we encourage you all to help provide the world insight on all the various topics inside eSports such as the games, teams, leagues, and websites that make it what we love.

We hope it will grow into a definitive resource on the world of eSports for newcomers and veteran fans alike, and once again the best part—it’s all up to you. We're going to set some basic rules around the wiki:

• Cite your sources: We do ask that whenever contributing anything to the wiki, you please cite sources when appropriate (we know, flashbacks of college term papers).
• Respect the authors: Obviously anything from GotFrag.com is fair game, but as with all wiki's sometimes you need to get permission if you want to include it. Many people have volunteered their time and their passion in contributing to the growth of our world, the least they deserve is the credit for producing the material.
• Try not to flame: Yes, I know that it can be hard to put down the flamethrower, but hey, let's try to make this something we all want to be a part of!
• Enjoy it: We (GotFrag) put this up so we (the community) can start chronicling, writing, and explaining (to ourselves and the rest of the world) what eSports is all about, and who participates in it.
  

On a separate but somewhat related topic, this wiki also means a couple things on our moderation front:

1. The usual moderation rules at GotFrag do not apply to the wiki. It's up to us all to moderate it, by contributing to it and by passionately believing in it. As the BETA progresses, we may exercise some limited moderation, but we would really prefer that the community own this thing.
2. The usual moderation rules across GotFrag in general are being relaxed. This applies to all parts of the site. I am loathe to say this as I'm sure there will be some people out there that abuse this, but the reality is that we've grown beyond the point where we can effectively moderate our own site. In the long run, we'll be introducing some community moderation tools but for now, I'm... opening the flood gates.

So all I can say now is stop reading this announcement and go post in the wiki, because now you can all be a part of letting the world know what eSports is.
