::I guess I figured it is text so no one has to read it. It wasn't until you and Dilley told me to slow down, etc, that I realized anyone was bothered by it. I don't have a problem with relocating my comments if they are excessive. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 22:21, 22 June 2010 (EDT) | ::I guess I figured it is text so no one has to read it.

DavidCary's [http://www.wikiindex.org/index.php?title=WikiIndex_talk | DavidCary's [http://www.wikiindex.org/index.php?title=WikiIndex_talk:Blocking_Policy&oldid=70223 original proposal] begins by saying it "is pretty much the same" as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Blocking_policy Wikipedia's block policy]. There was one important difference I noticed between WikiIndex' block policy, and Wikipedia's, but I don't want to mention it. If that is still the case the block policy shouldn't say it "is pretty much the same" Wikipedia. But I do think most of Wikipedia's block policy is along the lines of what is needed as a '''guide for sysops''', who are considering blocking a "troll" or editor who is "edit warring", disruptive/bickering/obnoxious/threatening/harassing, engaging in "gray spamming" (not obvious "spamming"), etc. | ||
''"Don't irk our gentle editors"'' opens the door to blocking people simply because someone is "irked", not because any rule was broken. Perhaps this is the '''real''' rule, but I think there should be some sort of guide for sysops. At least one "sysop" did what Dilley's suggested; they posted warnings, then blocked. But this block was not upheld by Dilley (or maybe the owner). | ''"Don't irk our gentle editors"'' opens the door to blocking people simply because someone is "irked", not because any rule was broken.
