The rest of the "policies" don't exist (or they are unwritten) aside from "[[Spam_Control_Policy|spam]]". This seemed to be a source of confusion and conflict so '''I made most of this article (with out asking anybody else)''' to sort through a number of these specific issues. Please add your suggestions or questions here or on the [[WikiIndex_talk:Policies_and_Guidelines|talk page]].

The rest of this page should eventually link to policies and guidelines, but for now, it is being used to describe or develop, suggestions for etiquette, policies or guidelines. This is mainly a practical means to attempt to resolve disputes by mutual agreement in an "ethical standard". [[User_talk:Huw_Powell|Huw Powel]] doesn't like the idea.

For example, someone posts this comment here, "I've been harassed by people from AboWiki. We should not allow this." This would be removed and a request would be placed on the commenter's talk page to propose that a specifically defined offense, be handled in a specific manner. So the proper way to propose a policy in this case would say: "I propose we do not allow editors to continue posting unanswered replies to a user's talk page. That we enforce this policy by first warning, then blocking the editor.<your signature>" ([[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 12:05, 5 September 2009 (EDT)) | For example, someone posts this comment here, "I've been harassed by people from AboWiki.
