[WikiEN-l] Bad And Wrong Policy/Procedure/Guideline Hitlist

Sat Nov 4 17:05:04 UTC 2006

I'd just like to throw in a few cents here:

1. Notability: Pathetic. Verifiability already keeps out junk, why do
we need an icredibly subjective set of guidelines based on some old
essay?

2. RFA: Don't expect any second chances here. Made a copyvio four
years ago? Too bad. Don't use edit summaries 100% of the time?
rejected. Don't vote on AFD? rejected.

3. Not written down, but the community isn't very forgiving for past
policy violations or for little slips. If some admins out a bunch of
pressure and provocation on a user, if they go a little batshit in
response, then they can't wait to block them. This is also why RFA is
bad: Genuinely good editors get rejected, bullies stay in.
