KrytenKoro - "Hurricane beats all housing or apartments. This sucker is a Cat-6!" TALK - In my experience, the warning system only works when dealing with content disputes, and even then, it should only be used in the event of edit wars. So, this is going to be more about clear bad faith and extremely malicious edits. Here's my position: Which edits qualify All direct threats, whether to the wiki or to other editors, whether of virtual or physical harassment, should have zero tolerance. All obscene edits, such as uploading porn, or inserting explicit material into mainspace articles (not talk pages, or similar discussion pages) should have zero tolerance. Which edits do not qualify Unprofessional language or hurt language in edits (ex: that guy who complained that we were dissing Europe about Re:CoM) Blanking pages Random swearwords in articles What should be done in the future Editor receives immediate infinite-duration ban. They MUST be allowed to continue editing their talk page. Editor receives Template:Ban on their talk page. After approximately two months (sometimes more, depending on apparent dedication of vandal), the ban is repealed completely. This prevents IP editors from being blocked just for sharing the account. What should be done now Any infinite blocks that are over two months old should be repealed immediately. The user talk page should be archived, in order to provide a clean slate. Any blocks, whatsoever, that block use of the talk page should be modified, and a note left on the user's talk page that they are now able to use their talk page. All bans that are still active after this should have the "ban" template placed on their talk page. Thoughts?
