[http://minecraftcreepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:TheMysteriousHood/List_of_Wikia_Offences_and_Their_Length_of_Duration. The rules I will be using here]

I have no reason to bore you with long introductions, so lets just get right into the proposed changes.


 * 1) 1 - Remove Primary-Senary Treasons, replace with one Harassment rule

Offending some user is not "treason". Treason is offending the wiki. Also, rules like the Primary-Senary treasons give perfect opportunities for any kind of corrupt mod or higher who might abuse them. Someone criticized your pasta/your behavior? It's simple, just claim they committed treason, and they instantly get blocked. Bam.

Instead, it should be replaced with a new "Harassment" rule. To block someone for harassment, said offender has to BEGIN the harassment (by being the first one to insult). It should NOT be considered harassment to criticize a pasta (which will tie in with my next point very soon). However, saying "your pasta is shit" should be considered hateful commenting, and that should be explicitly mentioned in the rules. I will let the block time be decided by the Admins.

Examples:

User: "You are a stupid cunt, go just off a cliff" (posted randomly on another user's wall) - Offense: Harassment

User: "I fucking hate this wiki" - Offense: Treason

User: "Your pasta is fucking shit" - Offense: Hateful commenting


 * 1) 2 - Remove the Harsh Criticism/Negative Criticism rule

There is no point in this rule, at all. The rule is not well defined, so an user can claim simple constructive criticism is negative. Instead, negative/constructive criticism should be encouraged, but only when it is actual criticism. If an user simply says "this pasta sucks", it should be considered Hateful Commenting (minor or major depending on the severity). Admins are exempt from the Hateful commenting rule.

Examples:

User: "I think this pasta is shit at the moment, for the reasons xyz." - Offense: None

User: "This pasta is junk" - Offense: Minor hateful commenting

User: "This pasta is a disgusting piece of shit and suck slimy hairy balls." - Offense: Major hateful commenting

So there are my suggestions. I think they would overall improve the quality of the wiki and user experience. You don't have to consider these, but I think they would help the wiki.
