Forum:Possible establishment of a userpage policy: Difference between revisions

I'd personally '''support''' eliminating friends lists altogether as it would eliminate a whole lot of drama. However the real question when discussing this is: ''Would it even be practical to enforce a wide scale elimination/prohibition of something like this?'' There is no right or wrong answer to this question. It would be great if we could do this but gaining co-operation will probably be a different story altogether, I don't know that but the positives and negatives are wide open at the moment, this will be interesting... {{LabSig}} 21:41, April 8, 2013 (UTC)

:If the wiki community decided that Friends Lists are not allowed, it would enter into formal policy and those with the lists would be required to remove them. If they chose to ignore the policy, it would be punishable. As far as I can see, there is no real enforcement issue here. The only major issue is whether the community would actually support their removal, because without entering it into formal policy there would be no grounds to enforce it. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]^{[[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]}''' 21:55, April 8, 2013 (UTC)

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.
