User:Jim Apple/How wikipedia should change


 * 1) Blocks should be longer -  24 hour block is going to enforce any kind of cooling-off period
 * 2) Abusive admins should lose admin priveleges for 3 months or more - I saw someone get blocked once for "refusing to engage in dialogue". Not reverting before refusing to engage in dialogue, and not even saying "No, I won't discuss that with you." This user merely didn't respond to a comment quickly enough. Blocking for that is abusive, and admins who do so should be stripped of their admin priveleges.
 * 3) No context creep - An offense is an offense is an offense. You called someone a name or made fun of their race? Blocked. They did it first? Tough noogies. You don't get a "be a racist free" card just because you were attacked.
 * 4) No name-calling - Ever. It doesn't matter who started it or even if you're right. We don't call names.
 * 5) Deleted content in userspace reverts to private userspace content - Admins can't destroy your work, but they can keep others from seeing it.
