As some of you may be aware, [[User:Timmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy|a certain user]] who was permanently blocked the other day had been a major nuisance with his userpage as well as those of other users, [[Special:Contributions/Timmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy|as evident by his final contributions]]. From a quick overview it appears that this had been influenced by the commonly used "Friends lists" that appear on many userpages here. It also appears that he had used his userpage to post flamebait/attacking images of other user's activity in [[The Sims Wiki:Chat|Chat]].
Line 72:
I'd choose to '''oppose''' eliminating friends list. There's not really an efficient or easy way to enforce this, especially that not everyone will recognize this policy in the first place either. We're not becoming police around the wiki; checking each user's page, finding out someone still has the list and punishing him/her seems so wrong. The user who caused this discussion to start was a troll anyway, and it's okay if he enlisted us as his friends, because we clearly ''are not'' his friends, and we know it, mostly. I say what's needed for better consideration is whether the user ''allows'' other users to add their own name in his/her friend list, because that way I found it more annoying than having a friend list.

:Some regulars start removing their friends list, so I guess this is taking its effect eventually.

== Summing things up ==
Because there has been no development in this for a couple of weeks, I'm going to draw what appears to be a rough consensus from what we already have.
*Implementing the new addition to [[Special:AbuseFilter]] to moderate edits to other userpages.
*Edits to the userpages of others are only allowed for maintenance or reverting vandalism - the AbuseFilter would throw a warning beforehand alerting any user touching somebody else's userspace.
*Friends lists can stay provided they're only touched by the userpage owner (in order to minimise drama).
Besides the obvious stuff that coincides with the general policies of the wiki, what I've drafted seems to be the breakeven point for dissecting the raised issues at hand. If anybody has any comments then please don't hesitate to make them within the next few days otherwise we could probably implement this policy on a formal scale. {{LabSig}} 12:47, April 21, 2013 (UTC)
:I think the summation you've made is pretty good. Here's a very quick write-up that we can use on the Policy page, when/if this is adopted:
----
;Userpage policies
# Edits to the userpages of other users are only allowed for maintenance purposes, or to revert vandalism. It shall be at the discretion of the userpage owner and the administrators to determine whether an edit made to a userpage is in good faith.
# Users can add or keep "Friends Lists" on their userpages. Only the page owner may edit the list.
# Administrators may edit userpages for the purposes of maintenance, vandalism cleanup, enforcement of policy, or posting of special awards received. Awards posted to a user's userpage should be accompanied by a notification on their talk page, and awards posted may be removed by the page owner.
----

:Sounds pretty good. {{LabSig}} 21:13, April 23, 2013 (UTC)
'''Closed''' - Because this has dried up, I've implemented, based on community consensus, [[The Sims Wiki:Policy/General Policies#Userpage policies|the new policy]] and [[Special:AbuseFilter/25|the new filter]]. {{LabSig}} 21:29, May 8, 2013 (UTC)
