If anyone feels like there is anything that I should add to this page, propose it here and I'll consider adding it in. Shadowcrest 03:44, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

Also, this post was influenced by this one, as well as a private conversation C.Hawk and I had. Shadowcrest 03:50, July 23, 2010 (UTC)


I'm totally in favor of this policy. DP99 (CTE)Dp99.png 04:07, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

However, i think there should be some OP guidelines. DP99 (CTE)Dp99.png 04:09, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm going to do a massive write-up of forum policies soon, as in once my girlfriend isn't visiting (next week). But in general, these are pretty much in line with what I am looking at. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 04:17, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

What's the difference between this one and mine? Maybe we should merge them? Mr. Anon teh awsome 17:25, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

We aren't anywhere near that stage yet. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 17:48, July 23, 2010 (UTC)


My opinion: Shiny this up and make it a policy. Miles (talk) 01:06, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

I'd love to, except Clarinet Hawk said he would write up his own proposal 3 weeks ago and then didn't. Is anyone else in favor of adopting this policy, and what suggestions do you have? Shadowcrest 01:41, August 17, 2010 (UTC)
I'm working on it. Keeping it is a word doc for now, as I don't think it's at release stage yet. By this weekend, I'll put a new draft of it up. Bug me on Thursday if you remember to. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 01:42, August 17, 2010 (UTC)
That said, I'm not opposed to this acting as an interim policy until then. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 01:43, August 17, 2010 (UTC)
Waste of time. It'd be much easier to just look at the forum proposals at the same time and work to the best solution for the wiki (which may not be a single proposal, either). Shadowcrest 01:52, August 17, 2010 (UTC)


I think this should be implemeneted soon unless there are objections. It's more well-written than the other one and I think we need this to become official policy. Toomai Glittershine Data Node 13:53, 12 November 2010 (EST)

Reproposal[edit]

I support this. Forums may not be active here right now, but if they ever do get more active in the future we should have rules. --RoyboyX Talk 14:28, 22 December 2012 (EST)

I too support, pending the increasing activity of the Forumspace. DarkFox01, ETC. 14:32, 22 December 2012 (EST)

I actually thought this already existed. That's why I found it odd that some poeple made random forums. Support.--Wolfsig.png PSIWolf The one and only! 14:43, 22 December 2012 (EST)

This seems like common sense. Support. JamesJH-Heartless.pngHeart 21:49, 24 December 2012 (EST)

Support Per above. Dots The Mew Ninten's sprite from Mother/EarthBound Zero, formerly used in Dots's signature. 22:26, 24 December 2012 (EST)

Neutral, leaning toward oppose. I question the necessity of this proposal. While the forum space has had some revival in activity, there haven't been any actual problems, and the forum space isn't THAT active. Air Conditioner Image for Accoolx's signature.

It may not be useful now, but it will be necessary at some point in the future. --RoyboyX Talk 16:49, 26 December 2012 (EST)

For all we know, this revival of the forums is just a fluke, and will go back to inactivity later. Air Conditioner Image for Accoolx's signature. is a siam cat 17:15, 26 December 2012 (EST)

Support Except one minor change:
and the creator of the forum (the Original Poster, or OP) may be temporarily banned.
I don't agree with this, does the OP really need to be banned for making a forum that should've not been made? Bandit 18:18, 26 December 2012 (EST)

That can be changed. --RoyboyX Talk 21:53, 26 December 2012 (EST)

My previous stance on this proposal stands. DoctorPain99 {ROLLBACKER} 23:23, 26 December 2012 (EST)

Any ideas for OP guidelines? --RoyboyX Talk 09:33, 27 December 2012 (EST)
I think the stated guidelines are sufficient. DoctorPain99 {ROLLBACKER} 02:11, 28 December 2012 (EST)

Bump? Anyone else? --RoyboyX Talk 18:16, 3 January 2013 (EST)

Anyone? --RoyboyX Talk 22:51, 10 January 2013 (EST)
