Revision as of 18:53, September 4, 2012
, 18:53, September 4, 2012→Proposed Rewrite of 90/10 Rule
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)

:I believe the 90/10 rule is intentionally vague right now so Sysops and blocking editors don't have to nitpick and count edits. If the vast majority of a user's recent edits are unproductive talk, they can be blocked. But this shouldn't be abused, for example, by giving exceedingly long blocks to new users who have not broken any other rule. This guideline gives a lot of discretion to the Sysops. Whether some of the Sysops around here are capable of such discretion is another debate entirely...
:Also, adding in the part about 50 edits is probably not a great idea. It would just give 50 free edits to users who come here to argue without trying to improve the project, even if they're not trolling or breaking any other rule. But along these lines, I think Sysops need to do a better job of assuming good faith, because every time a user criticizes something on this site, they're not necessarily trolling or trying to cause trouble. --[[User:Randall7|Randall7]] 14:53, 4 September 2012 (EDT)
