For example, it states "Talk pages should ''never'' be deleted" but in actual practice, talk pages deemed to consist of [[trolling]] sometimes are deleted. Policies are few and readily disregarded. | RationalWiki has a set of community standards to which it sometimes/somewhat adheres.

RationalWikians generally tend to frown on editing articles from a non-leftist point of view, and favor instead having talk page discussions with dissenting viewpoints. | RationalWikians generally tend to frown on editing articles from a non-leftist point of view, and favor instead having talk page discussions with dissenting viewpoints. [[Arcane]] described them as "a self stroking circlejerk of groupthinking editors who care more about giving each other handjobs on their own personal projects than actually advancing the goal of their wiki."
