→90/10 Rule
The [[Conservapedia:90/10 rule|90/10]] is a rule designed to encourage productive edits to our encyclopedia articles, essays and debates (see also: [https://conservapedia.com/Category:Essays Conservapedia essays] and [https://conservapedia.com/Category:Conservapedia_Debates Conservapedia debates]). The purpose of the 90/10 rule is to discourage unproductive editing such as belligerent editing and [[troll]]ing at Conservapedia (Please see: [[Conservapedia:Avoid personal remarks]] and [[Conservapedia:Inappropriate/trolling behavior - Examples]]).

The purpose of the 90/10 rule is to discourage unproductive editing such as belligerent editing and [[troll]]ing at Conservapedia (Please see: [[Conservapedia:Avoid personal remarks]] and [[Conservapedia:Inappropriate/trolling behavior - Examples]]).
The 90/10 rule discourages users from spending 90% of their time complaining, carping, cutting people down and forming [[cabal]]s at Conservapedia - and only 10% actively helping to craft good encyclopedia articles. The rule is applied to a person's edits as a whole and not smaller periods of editing. For example, if users have a history of productive editing and they are editing talk pages to improve articles or make various improvements to Conservapedia for a period of time, the 90/10 rule will not be applied to them.
This rule is also designed to help productive writers so they are not unnecessarily hindered by groundless complaints, specious arguments, etcetera.
Anyone who wants to take part in this writing project should expect to spend 90% of their time writing articles, essays or contributing to debates and 10% or less on their personal agenda. Useful editing means making worthwhile edits and includes discussion on talk pages about improving articles. It does not include endlessly rehashing the same points that have already been raised, discussed, and resolved on those pages.
In terms of enforcement of the rule, in most cases, users will first be given a warning (unless it is believed they are belligerent editors or trolls). If that is not successful, and they still engage only in useless arguments, they may be block for a period of time. If they persist, they may be blocked for longer periods of time. Permanent blocking is reserved for editors who are not good-faith editors and merely want to harrass, waste others time, etc.
