Forum:New forum proposal - "Heartless Manufactory"

Forums: Index > The World that Never was > New forum proposal - "Heartless Manufactory"

KrytenKoro - "It's always best when the other chap is willing to die for his beliefs; you both have the same goal in mind." TALK - Or "Kingdom Hearts", but that would be a byotch on the categories. Anyway, we all know that we have a problem with getting personal-attacky in debates and edit comments, and I can definitely say that, as the biggest jerkass on the wiki, I'm hardly setting a good example. So, the proposal is basically like this: We institute a no-tolerance policy for personal attacks. Any personal attack, no matter the "seniority" of the editor in question or the "rightness" of their viewpoint, gets a warning. However, if you get a warning for a personal attack, you can choose to volunteer at the Heartless Manufactory with whoever you attacked. When you do so, a third editor (has to be registered, but otherwise can be anybody) chooses a needed task for you and the person you were fighting with to work on: creating a "wanted article", filling in the notes archives for one of the Projects, categorizing images, replacing image links, etc. Once you and the other editor complete this task, the warning is removed from your talk page, and for all intents and purposes it never happened. Basically, it's a "learn to appreciate each other OR go to jail" type of idea. And as the worst offender, I'll even do one with each person I've insulted in the past, if they want to. Thoughts?

The Inexistent - All the world's a puzzle, and I the one who made it so... TALK - EVIL has come... at last... I'm not for a long answer this time, so I'll just second it.

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? Why not, better than just slapping people with wanings and pissing them off more. Quick question though. How would we define a "personal attack" exactly? Is it just being an ass to a user in general, or more specific?

Neumannz — ATTENTION, DUELISTS! If you could all stop staring at my hair for a moment... TALK — Those child-grabbing classes were worth every penny! — 00:44, 18 February 2011 (EST)   I'M THE EVIL PRISON WARDEN *ahem* Sounds like a sound idea to me. Makes more sense then "be nice or else", which is less effective for regular and prolific editors. And it'll finally give us an official way to remove warnings, which I don't believe we've had.

KrytenKoro - "I'm the doctor, I'm the patient. Don't forget that - it's important! If you love me like I love me, everybody will be sorry." TALK - Well, we could always define it as "being an ass like Kryten always is". But seriously, any type of ad hominem attack. For example, when Kronos told me I was stupid, and I told Kronos not be a twat. We would get warnings, and go to the Manufactory to get an assignment. (Technically it happened on the other wiki, but if he wants to, I'll go first with him)

The Inexistent - All your base are belong to us... TALK - What you say?!? When you say "New forum", do you mean that this will be a new forum entirely? If so, I believe it would be a problem. A sixth forum? Well, I suppose that we could just send The Keyblade War to Oblivion and get the inevitable over with...

SilverCrono Well, I can tell who you are. — "Looks like you're prepared." "What is with you and picking up stray puppies?" — 20:39, 18 February 2011 (EST) Meh... sounds like too much work just for being a douche. Which I'm good at. So yas. Nay.

The Inexistent - Dusk, Light to Darkness... TALK - The great transition. That, I believe, dear Crono, is the point. Once you go through all of this crap once, it will hopefully deter you from repeating the offense (kinda like prison). At the same time, it will also keep those who are causing trouble busy.

Well, well, if it isn't something other than retribution. I second the idea wholeheartedly. ^_^ EDIT 05:05, 19 February 2011 (EST) : I'd also go with Heartless Manufactory for the name — the header is easier to handle than Kingdom Hearts (and in fact, I've handled it). All there needs to be now is the go-ahead from everyone else. I'm as good as new! All my functions have been restored! • TroisNyxÉtienne — 04:18, 19 February 2011 (EST)

AS IF! The world is garbage! CRUNCH! I like this idea. It's better then constantly handing out warnings, and it'll help the wiki too. And as for the name, I like "Heartless Manufactory", but I think that calling it "The Door to Darkness" would fit too, considering it takes two keys to seal it.

Ultima - Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test. Sounds like a good idea. -12:17, 19 February 2011 (EST)

KingdomKeyDarkside - But then, when all hope had died, and the hour of doom seemed at hand... TALK - a young boy clothed in green appeared as if from nowhere. ~ 13:58, 19 February 2011 (EST) Me likey. Sounds good to me.

CaelumLucisCaliga - Why do I feel so... 2-dimensional? TALK - 15:06, 19 February 2011 (EST) sounds interesting. Nice. :)
