I propose rewriting the section as follows - proposed changes are bolded: {{cquote|The 90/10 rule, unique to Conservapedia, authorizes the blocking of accounts that engage in excessive article talk page,[2] bickering, last wordism, and other unproductive activity. Specifically, '''as stated in the Conservapedia:Commandments since soon after the formation of Conservapedia''':

Specifically, '''as stated in the Conservapedia:Commandments since soon after the formation of Conservapedia''':

"Unproductive activity, such as 90% talk page edits and only 10% quality edits to Conservapedia articles, may result in blocking of the account '''after 50 total edits to articles and talk pages (excluding debate pages and user pages, but not user talk pages)'''."

The 90/10 Rule is remarkably adept at discouraging and eliminating the mobocracy or talk pollution that runs rampant on other sites, such as Wikipedia. Implementation is simple and application is swift.}}

I also propose a new section for "Point of View" as follows, with any other key issues added as necessary:

I also propose a new section for "Point of View" as follows, with any other key issues added as necessary: {{cquote|Conservapedia operates from a conservative point of view, specifically a Young Earth Creationist, pro-heterosexual marriage, Pro-Life point of view. Articles and article talk pages should therefore avoid support for Evolution, homosexuality, and abortion, given the site's purpose. Those who wish to discuss contrasting views should do so in the debate section.}}

I think it should be very clear what banning is allowed for and then we should stick to it. But right now the 90/10 rule is far too ambiguous and vague, as evidenced by the recent ban on AcomaMagic for 4 total edits, 75% of them to talk pages. Clearly the rules aren't written clearly enough right now for people to know what a bannable offense is, and definitely should be updated. --[[User:JZambrano|Joshua Zambrano]] 08:47, 4 September 2012 (EDT)
