Forum:Flamewar Bans Policy.


 * Note;This is not a voting policy, this is just to help me get my thoughts out.

So heres the deal, I still want to implement this policy, but whenever I try to people say it is not clear enough or have problems with certain elements of it, so I am going to try to use this forum to try to answer peoples concerns and to adapt the policy before I attempt to create another policy forum (and I'm not even sure if I will).

Here is how the policy stands in its current form;

"Description of Policy: If implemented, this policy will give administrators the rights to ban users over flamewars.

The following criteria must all be met for something to be considered a flamewar and for a warning to be issued.


 * The debate must include at least one argumentative party, only one example needs to be met for a party to be considered argumentative. The below examples qualify as argumentative.
 * -The party(ies) is insulting another user in such a way it can be taken no other way but as an insult.
 * -The party(ies) is refusing to drop the debate even after the writer of the blog or creator of the forum have clearly expressed the desire to.
 * -The party(ies) is consistently (more than two times) bringing up politics and religion in the debate that has nothing to do with them, and after another user had requested them to stop.


 * There must be at least twenty posts related to the flamewar on the same thread, they don't necessarily have to be part of the same comment string. Users are still aloud to comment on the topic of the blog, they are just not aloud to post comments trying to continue the flamewar.

If the all of the above criteria are met, warnings will be issued to all parties involved and on the discussion thread as well.

Anyone who acts argumentative (as defined above) in response to the debate after the warning has been issued will be banned, however normal and civil comments related to the debate will still be aloud."

So, any thoughts, ideas, concerns?--Legionwrex (talk) 21:43, September 1, 2012 (UTC)
