Copy much? Lord Belar 00:25, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

And it isn't officially policy, so it needed a draft tag --Gimmethegepgun 00:26, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Much better. Lord Belar 00:44, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

GWW's worked fine, for the most part, so I see no reason why we shouldn't have the same policy here. But can we condense this, SIGN, and Disruption into one mega-policy on user activity? Calor (t) 01:04, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

But.... but.... that would be efficient! We can't do that if we're trying to be like GWW! --Gimmethegepgun 01:12, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, I changed a few parts of this to make it a little better, but no, it wasn't that bad to start with, unlike the sign policy. Lord Belar 01:28, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

How are we going to handle the "Your images are going to be deleted" spam, if this is accepted? Is this what you meant by placing "admins" in the violation part, Belar? - anja 08:26, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

In order to create a Userspace policy, we first need to sort out adminship and image policies. Without adminship, we don't know how admins can deal with "violations" of any userpage policy; without an image policy, we don't know how images will be dealt with in the userspace. Let's get some perspective, shall we, and do things in some order? -- Brains12 • Talk • 11:04, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

By way of common sense? It's kinda obvious if somebody's userpage has "YOURE ALL DUMB FUCKS WITH NO LIFE" and posts links to spyware/goatse/suggestive material sites that the user should be banned. But we do need the basics of adminship and others first before getting down to the nitty-gritty details. Calor (t) 19:29, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

If the person has reason to believe that we are all dumbfucks and have no life, then it should be allowed on their userpage, as it's their opinion. As for the malicious links, bannable offense IMO.--MP47 (Talk) (Contr.) 20:59, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Leave it to the discretion of the sysops, if someone does do that. A sysop shouldn't need a policy to enforce something. And so far, a lack of rules has caused no big problem - with Dirigible and Tanaric already blocking vandals, socks and whatnot. We've seen Dirigible block Raptors for linking to an allegdd phishing site, and Tanaric for trolling. -- Brains12 • Talk • 21:16, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Isn't this just copied from GWW?--Sum Mesmer Guy 19:58, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

A lot of the drafts floating around are, because a number of contributors believe that GWW's policies were good. Lord of all tyria 20:36, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

I loll'd. Oops, mebbe i should'nt of said tht. *Braces for flame impact*--MP47 (Talk) (Contr.) 02:04, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Guild Wars 2 Wiki:User pages

→ moved from Guild Wars 2 Wiki talk:User pages

Oh yeah forgot to mention in the summary, this allows user pages to get up to 350kb long and images to be 200kb.... --Shadowphoenix 23:11, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

There's already a user page draft - Guild Wars 2 Wiki:User page. If the change is only as small as that, you may as well propose it there. -- pling | ggggg 23:12, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

hmmm, it is not listed on GW2W:POLICY, that is why I made this :P --Shadowphoenix 23:20, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

It's probably better, then, to check the categories. Or maybe you could add them to the main Policy page :)? They were probably forgotten out during the crazy "let's get creatin' policy" phase when the wiki started... -- pling | ggggg 23:23, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, this doesn't warrant another draft; at least a change that small. Calor 23:40, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Alright, I will put my change into the old draft :o) --Shadowphoenix 15:08, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

File Size

You are going to require users to download the pages just to see what size they are? That's pretty ridiculous, hardly simple and even less so if you have to manually add image sizes. What is the point of the restriction in the first place...?Alari 06:46, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

So that they dont cause a server error (I think) and the whole thing about downloading there userpage was there b4 I added my changes --Shadowphoenix 04:10, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Deadline

I would like to start making policies into actual policies and not drafts. Would anyone object to keeping this a draft for ~1 week longer and if conversations are stopped by that time (or consensus reached) we will then move it into a true GW2W policy. I think a week is adequate time for all users to be given a chance to read it and enter their input. Personally I currently did not see any problem with this current copy (aside from a redlink, but that is a different matter) Venom20 00:26, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

We'll set a date of Sept 1 2010 to agree to keep this proposal of delete it. Venom20 01:23, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

I'd like to see something where it basically discourages trolls from trolling user pages, etc. and promotes positive contributes and positive conversations at least geared more towards gw type items and not really all that personal... I prefer to see a wiki page treated less like a facebook, myspace, or even a blog type page... I'm not sure how to do a policy up that's not too strict, but gets points across as to how a wiki should be. Ariyen 02:02, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

@Ariyen: We can deal with Trolling in an NPA/Trolling policy. Other than that; is there ANYONE objecting to this policy in its current form, right now? - Infinite - talk 21:27, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
