| |
| − | *Noncontroversial edits are ''usually'' ok
| |
| − | *I will always follow the [[Conservapedia:Guidelines|Guidelines]] and [[Conservapedia:Commandments|Commandments]]
| |
| − | *I won't change work from the editors who are never wrong, unless I really, really, really know what I am doing
| |
| − | *I won't edit or comment on essay pages; they are supposed to be opinion
| |
| − | *I will point out and correct when an article is unencyclopedic, but will back down when defending my action is futile
| |
| − | *I will point out and correct when an article does not follow the [[Conservapedia:Guidelines|Guidelines]] or [[Conservapedia:Commandments|Commandments]], but will back down when defending my action is futile
| |
| − | *I will not treat someone's work differently because of their "status"; this is a community project
| |
| − | *I will not revert anything added to a talk page, unless a user swears or edits another user's words
| |
| − | *There is no official block policy, so I will use my own judgement for blocking people
| |
| − | *I will never block someone for being non-conservative (for starters, I would have to block myself)
| |
| − | *I will never block someone for expressing their opinion, as long as it is civil
| |
| − | *I will never block someone for violating the [[90/10 rule]]
| |
| − | *I will never block someone who has had no edits, unless their name is offensive or inflamatory
| |
| − | *I will never block someone for being a sock unless I am 110% sure (as I have had bad experiences with this in the past, and as I have no checkuser powahs)
| |
| − | *I will never block someone for referring to or showing up on That Which Shall Not Be Named (and no, I can't tell you what it is, and no, I can not give you any hints)
| |
| − | *If a block is properly given, then no apology should ever be needed as an unblocking condition
| |
| − | *I will not unblock myself if blocked by a sysop

| − | Some who think they are more rational than me may say that I'm a wimp for backing down. I say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a new result.
