:Personally, I think we should only report an underage account to Wikia if they're a known cross-wiki vandal. On the vast majority of wikis, local administrators are the ones dealing with blocks related to underage users and Wikia seem to have no problem with that. Furthermore, I've noticed that Wikia seem to have a system where a user's account would be globally banned permanently if they've received a report of a user being under 13; under [[The Sims Wiki:Assume good faith|AGF]] we only block the user for 1 year.
:If I could have it my way, there wouldn't be a minimum age limit for a user as long as they're competent but thanks to COPPA, that won't happen. Basically, I think that we should just keep things as they are as it's guaranteed that the user will have a chance to return and it's just much easier than referring it to Wikia every time someone says they're under 13. {{
::I agree with the disliking the minimum age limit. As for them permanently banning underage accounts, I was unaware that that was their policy - is that a recent change? -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 21:54, March 22, 2012 (UTC)
:::I based it on [http://community.wikia.com/index.php?title=Forum%3AWhat_happens_to_underaged_editors&action=historysubmit&diff=738521&oldid=738518 this forum edit] from a Wikia Staffer. The edit was made at the end of December 2011 so you could say it's fairly recent. {{
::::Alright, in that case I'd suggest either no change, or just a small message saying something like 'Administrators reserve the right to block for behavior not specifically mentioned on local policies that violate Wikia's Terms of Use, or to report that behavior directly to Wikia Staff.' -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 23:02, March 22, 2012 (UTC)
:::::Seems like a good addition, I've got no issues with it. I don't really like the idea of reporting underage users to wikia, because 1), some wikis allow them (even though they shouldn't), and 2), it'd be a bit of a bother sending in the email and all that. {{WHsig|05:42, March 23, 2012 (UTC)}}
Line 25:
I was in the process of writing up a page dedicated to [[Special:Chat]], similar to the one we have for [[The Sims Wiki:IRC Channel|IRC]]. However, I noticed we don't actually have a ruleset for Chat and it's currently more of a common sense thing. I've noticed our [[The Sims Wiki:Policy/General Policies#IRC Channel|IRC policies]] are slightly outdated on paper and are slightly more relaxed in reality.
Should we write a new policy aimed directly at [[Special:Chat|Chat]]? Should we update/revise our IRC policies and run both features on essentially the same policy? Should we just adapt our general policies around Chat? Thoughts? {{
:I think since IRC and Chat are similar, the same rules could apply to both, except for references to bots or things which are in the IRC and not Chat. So I don't think there necessarily needs to be a separate policy. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LiR</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">speak</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">read</font>]]</sup>''' 17:30, August 19, 2012 (UTC)
::Yeah, I think we just state that the rules for IRC are the same as for chat, with the exception of the bots part. {{WHsig|05:02, August 20, 2012 (UTC)}}
:::Okay, I've gone ahead and made it so that both the IRC rules and Chat rules list mainly the same thing, with the obvious differences. The main header is now "Communication features" for the lack of a better term. {{LabSig}} 18:53, August 21, 2012 (UTC)
