Conservapedia:Blocking policy (view source)
Revision as of 11:39, November 29, 2021
, 11:39, November 29, 2021→Blockable offenses
* '''Inappropriate user name'''. <!--It has been a ''general'' principle that one's user name be "based on one's real first name and last initial", though there are a number of reasons why that is not always practical. The point is that we don't like the kind of foolish "handles" that are often used in various blogs and social web sites. If you run afoul of this by accident, you will be asked to create a new account, and doing so will not be considered sockpuppetry. Of course, some user names are essentially just vandalism, and are treated that way.-->Profane, vile, and disgusting usernames, or other types of offensive, objectionable, or nonsensical usernames will be blocked.

* '''90/10 rule violation'''. This rule is unique to Conservapedia. The objective is to avoid repetitive arguments. While an actual numerical check could be used, the usual application of the rule at present is a more subjective analysis of whether one is here just for engaging in combat. Remember, Conservapedia is a [[meritocracy]], and an editor's contributions to mainspace weigh in the balance more in granting [[Conservapedia:User rights|user rights]] than occuping other editors time in fruitless talk page discussion.

== Conservapedia policy on civility ==
== Civility ==
:''See also [[Conservapedia:Avoid personal remarks]]
* You must be civil. No bullying. Incivility and personal attacks should be replaced with the {{[[Template:personal remark removed|personal remark removed]]}} template. Conservapedia Administrators as well need to interact with others according to the same standards of civility we ask of editors.
* For content disputes, be reasonable and make every effort to use an article's talk page to have a cordial and constructive dialogue. Stick to the facts in content disputes and back up your facts with a source or sources. If you are proposing alternative content in a content dispute, it must be sourced. Do not engage in personal attacks. Avoid bringing up irrelevant past disputes with editors and stick to the content dispute at hand. If you have a content dispute with another editor, do not immediately post to the other editor's personal talk page. The article talk pages is where the vast majority of discussion should take place. Avoid unnecessary content disputes by sourcing your article content.
* Your user page/discussion pages, are indeed your castle, from which you can agree, disagree and discuss issues as you will. However you cannot use them to bully, ridicule (make fun of) or attack (denigrate) Conservapedia or other users, and their opinions. Users are free to remove comments from their own user talk pages.
* There is a difference between intellectual discourse, and attacking someone for what they believe. Wikipedia condones bullying and mob rule, we don’t.
* Violators of the CP Guidelines will be blocked.
=== Inappropriate/trolling behavior: Examples ===
See also: [[Conservapedia:Inappropriate/trolling behavior - Examples]]
Trolling can constitute any one or more of the following behaviours:
* Monopolizing discussions by repeatedly talking more than the other side despite saying little to nothing relevant/coherent:
* Responding to reasonable requests and questions with off-topic or potentially offensive rhetoric;
* Posting outrageous comments to bait people; or
* Employing redundant arguments intended to occupy and waste the time, efforts, or energies of other users or to distract them from productive editing and making mainspace article contributions.
* Flaming or flame wars; posting user disputes over multiple pages.
* Intentionally engaging in behavior designed to irritate others
* Engaging in [[doxxing]]. Doxxing is the criminal practice of releasing private or sensitive information about someone online for the purposes of harassment, intimidation and/or malicious intent.
* A user that spends 90% of their editing time and activity making redundant arguments, complaining, harassing and/or impeding other editors productive activity.
Many trolls are attention seekers, or they just enjoy annoying people. Some however, have a direct purpose or agenda -- to destroy the Conservapedia project and limit its ability to build an internet community. They do so by inconveniencing and harassing users. Trolling is a [[Conservapedia:Blocking policy|blockable offense]]. However, blocking the troll does not always solve the problem; determined trolls can continue their activity through blocking appeals and [[Conservapedia:sockpuppet|sockpuppetry]]. Some trolls have been known to persist for several years.
Dealing with longterm abusive editors can be problematic. Blocking them does not make them go away; they can return angrier and more determined to attack and harass a specific user, or article pages.
