:What are the consequences of harassing? "Negative actions/behavior" is a bit vague. Are they referring to the actions listed in the previous point. --[[User:A_morris|a_morris]] <small>([[User_talk:A_morris|talk]])</small> 15:18, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
::A response to harassment would be a kick or ban from the channel; if the harrassment doesn't stop or extends onto the Wiki itself, it would be handled through warning, block or ban on the wiki itself. A negative action would refer to harassment, exploitation of other users, attacks against others, extreme profanity or repeated profanity. It's sort of difficult to narrow down a definite definition of what a negative action would be, so I may be missing some things here. -- [[User:LostInRiverview|Patrick (LostInRiverview)]]<small> ([[User_talk:LostInRiverview|talk]])([[User_blog:LostInRiverview|blog]])([[Special:Random|random page]])</small> 19:47, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

:I don't know if the pillars themselves should be adopted as strict policy per se, but I think the general concepts of each should be followed and displayed somewhere... though I don't think they should be on the Policy page as putting them there indicates that they are hard-and-fast rules. Perhaps it should be added onto the Simplified Ruleset, or placed elsewhere?
:Also, maybe some misconceptions could be cleared up by wording the 5 pillars more simply. Like:
#'''The Sims Wiki is an encyclopedia''' of facts and information. Most articles (with notable exceptions) should have relevant and factual information.
#'''The Sims Wiki has a neutral point-of-view'''; articles should not be written in a particular "slant" and all facts must be verifiable.
#'''The Sims Wiki is free content'''; appropriate copyright laws must be respected, but the articles on the wiki are the collaborations of many people and are not owned by any person or group of people.
#'''Wiki Users should interact positively with each other'''; if there is a disagreement, users should seek constructive resolutions rather than resorting to name-calling, harrassment, edit wars, or other discouraged behavior. Users should be welcoming to new users and should assume good faith.
#'''There are no firm rules'''; when editing an article, sometimes the best solution is to ignore all preconceptions and be '''bold'''. Remember that every action on The Sims Wiki can be undone if needed.
:That's just my §2, though. -- [[User:LostInRiverview|Patrick (LostInRiverview)]]<small> ([[User_talk:LostInRiverview|talk]])([[User_blog:LostInRiverview|blog]])([[Special:Random|random page]])</small> 19:47, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
