Revision as of 15:55, 19 December 2012
Hey,
So seeing as we've moved to basing community discussions here in the forums, as well as all the other stuff we revamped, I'd like to propose that we revise our Forums policy. Although it was deployed almost 2 years ago, things have changed since then and thus is now outdated.
Rather than just throw something complete on the table and asking whether or not you like it, I was thinking we could collaborate in actually revising the policy. This is basically what I was thinking we should do about it:
- Remove the inappropriate words, advertisement, inappropriate sites, trolling and spamming sections of the policy altogether as they're technically already covered in the wiki-wide policy and the forums are part of the wiki.
- State that only admins should archive discussion threads.
- Incorporate the outcome of this thread in some way.
- Emphasise that the content of the thread must be placed under the correct forum and not added to the wrong one. For example, this would state that an off-topic thread shouldn't be in the Community discussions forum.
Those are the ideas I have for now and I'm interested in what everyone else would like to add/change/whatever before (and if) we actually do formally revise this policy.
So what do we think about this? Lost Labyrinth .svg){kind=small}

I think a change to the policy would be good. I don't know how forceful we want to make the language but I generally don't think it needs to be too strict in its wording. One thing I do have a question about however... why would archival be an administrators-only thing? This is simply for sake of argument, since it stands to reason we should explain why only administrators should be able to do something before we write it into the rules. -- LiR speak ~ read 15:55, December 19, 2012 (UTC)
