Board Thread:News and Announcements/@comment-24619563-20160225120714

Hello,

As you may know, last night, the admins held a meeting talking about future plans for this wiki, new policies, etc. and this post is to share the ones most of us agreed with. We hope these plans will help shape this wiki better, since our last wiki has some flaws. Please read each of them carefully, and if you have any complaints about them, feel free to comment below.


 * Less strict on Badge-Gaming - Lately, we've been giving out a lot of warnings to users, mainly for badge-gaming, but in response they say they didn't do anything. Talking it over at the meeting, we decided to cut down on these rules. We will still watch each page carefully, though you will only receive a badge-gaming warning if it's obvious you're doing it. But let's say you add something, remove it, then add it back again or something else in a repeated matter. If this is the case, please put your edit reason as "mistake" so we know it's an honest mistake. Even if that's not the case, we will let the first one slide. But if you constantly do it, we will start giving out warnings.
 * Admin Vote System - This is a new system the wiki is introducing for certain blocks & warnings, but not all. Basically, how it works, is let's say somebody protested, though some may say it was disrespectful, and rude, well others may say it's peaceful. We would warn the user. If they complained it wasn't protesting, or wasn't rude protesting, then this system would take effect. All of the admins would gather together to decide if the warning should stay, or not. Majority vote wins in this case.
 * Comment Deletions - On this wiki, we've had some issues with comment deletions lately, mainly with one user who shall remain anonymous. Because so, we've decided to be less strict with this, and only delete comments that violate the rules, not ones we disagree with.
 * Admin Inactivity Without Excuse - This show is about to start in a few days, and one thing we absolutely hate is admin inactivity, without an excuse. This is disruptive as we may need them for something, and if we don't know they're gone, it's a problem. So, we've come up with a system for these admins. An admin has two weeks to be inactive without excuse, then they receive an inactivity warning. If they continue to be inactive for another week, they will be demoted. If you truly have to go inactive, then just let us know, so you will be excused from this system.
 * Roleplaying In Chat - After some debate, we have come to a decision for roleplaying in the wiki's chat. It will be allowed from now on, yes. But, there's an change: it must relate to Elite Force, it can't relate to other shows, etc.
 * Admin Disagree - Let's say an admin disagrees with a warning another admin issued. I will say, it's happened on this wiki before. Anyways, from now on, if an admin disagrees with another admin's warning, then the Admin Vote system would take effect, where all admins vote if the warning should stay or not, majority wins.

That's all that was planned out at yesterday's meeting. It took some debate, arguing, but we all figured it out at the end. If you have any disagreements to the above changes, please let us know in the comments below, and we'll try and get back to you as soon as possible.

Thank you for reading,
