TestWiki:Community portal: Difference between revisions

::While "community bans" on TestWiki ''may'' have been done in the past, they are not supported by [[TestWiki:Policies|official policy]]. [[TestWiki:Consuls|Consuls]] ''can'' seek the TestWiki community's input, of course, on a non-binding and advisory basis. Likewise, the same is true for Consuls seeking input on an unblock. The reason for this is because this is two-fold. For one thing, TestWiki, save for its Consuls and a handful of users, is a dynamic community that has high turnover. For another, it provides all users with proper due process, ensuring that Consuls, as the non-test administrators on this wiki, balance the community's frustrations with due process whilst ensuring local control. In other words, a wiki that did not have appropriate due process processes in place may well give rise to the user having standing for a complaint under the [[m:Code of Conduct|a global process]] [[m:Stewards|Stewards]] took over from the former [[m:Code of Conduct/Commission|Code of Conduct Commission]]. In terms of this proposal, it is also noteworthy that RhinosF1 has seemingly been left with no other apparent option, despite [[Special:AbuseFilter/history/60|not making a single attempt]] to modify and add to the abuse filter [[User:Chrs|Chrs]] created. It also noteworthy that no other [[TestWiki:Consuls|Consul]] has supported this proposal. Likewise, perhaps the strongest arguments come from [[User:AlPaD|AlPaD]] and [[User:Universal Omega|Universal Omega]], which are more supportive of a Consul blocking the user indefinitely than for any sort of ''ban'', which, as mentioned, does not exist in [[TestWiki:Policies|official policy]]. Secondarily, RhinosF1 has not proposed any other alternate proposal, and has almost seemingly held a grudge against ApexAgunomu (nee Bugambilia) since day one. This is evidenced by him ignoring ApexAgunomu's alternate proposal. Finally, because of this lack of due of process and alternate proposals, I will initiate a community discussion, on a non-binding and advisory basis that proposes several options and invites discussion on a fourth unforeseen option.

Hello all,

:I chose to request a community ban as there has been disagreements among both consuls and involved community members as to what sanctions are appropriate. A community endorsed sanction. This ensures the community can be clear on the best approach. [[User:RhinosF1|RhinosF1]] ([[User talk:RhinosF1|talk]]) 15:36, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
