The following proposal has been discussed and is now marked as resolved. The page has been protected and now serves as an archive. Do not edit this page.
Date Resolved: August 14, 2015


Result: Not passed.


Introduction

This is perhaps long overdue, but we should really be strict with this policy. I think it's self explanitory why I am making this proposal. In short, if a user is nothing but negative and causing trouble, they can be given an immediate 6 month block or more. — AMK152 (Wall • Contrib) 19:30, August 6, 2015 (UTC)

Proposal

Add to definitions:

  • Trolling - intentionally causing trouble, in which the user has no positive contribution to any conversation whatsoever.

Add to general policies:

  • Trolling
  • 1. Trolling is strictly prohibited.
  • 2. Anyone caught trolling in chat or on the forums will be given an immediate block of no shorter than six (6) months from both chat and editing.

Neutral

  • Neutral Neutral - While this is a good idea in theory, there is one major concern that this brings up. What if a blocker thinks that someone is trolling when the blockee is not? What if the blockee added their opinion to articles and didn't know it was not allowed? The definition you give is poor. Actually, as I am writing this, it seems like I am learning that this is more about chat or threads than articles, which is not at all self-explanatory. Mainly, my point is that this is somewhat a good idea, it is just that I am not sure that the blockers won't abuse this definition and just block people because they don't like them.  120d  Talk  Contribs  120d 20:56, August 6, 2015 (UTC)

Comments

  • Change Change - Perhaps add that the blocked user may dispute there block on their own message wall. If the user is found abusing the message wall their privileges will be revoked. WolfWink_L.gif Auron May the odds be ever in your favor! Ammy.gif   06:49,8/13/2015
