:::Community input, certainly, but not just a "vocal majority rule" decision (nor policy "by committee"). <br />Every site where I've seen hard rules, I've seen some users who push back equally hard. Soft rules mean there is nothing to push against, except the Admin's and Community's tolerance for BS. We could codify "punishments", so those are known - first offense, vandalism, spam, personal attacks, edit wars, ignoring Admin, etc. etc, and again, loosely defined, if at all. But I think they should be harsher than gentler - the message should be "Just don't go there!", not "Be sure to weigh this ''before'' going there". (And then the Admin can be lenient if/when they deem it approp - easier than the other way around.) Likewise, true vandalism, vulgar obscenities, blanking a page or spamming the site, getting cute while banned, I think should be perma-ban, zero tolerance. (We aren't here to teach social skills, and "once" is once too much with such.) As far as blocking "reading", that might be kept but as an extreme measure - some people just can't let something go unless they're truly removed from the influence. ; ) --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 13:01, 1 March 2010 (UTC) | :::Community input, certainly, but not just a "vocal majority rule" decision (nor policy "by committee"). <br />Every site where I've seen hard rules, I've seen some users who push back equally hard.

:::: All sounds good, completely agree. One concern if we block IPs is that we should recognize the fact that like on wikipedia some people MAY be in a situation where they share a public IP with some asshole and we should at least make it so that it's possible for people to help out here if they can prove they aren't the one with that IP. Though this will of course be a very uncommon scenario.
