I disagree for the same reasons listed in the previous thread. Nothing has been changed. No new information has been presented.
Moreover, attempting to change this is already against our DB discussion rules iirc. The rule was made because the exact same arguments were being repeated.
For...

The above user is a sock of this user: https://vsbattles.com/members/ultimatedarkgod666.10557/
who is banned till Dec 2, 2023 for the following reason:
We might have to increase his ban sentence.
For minor revisions and self-evident revisions, it is sufficient to seek the approval of one staff member. A grace period of 48 hours should be allowed for the staff member to review and approve the revision.
I think a grace period should stay for all CRTs, not only minor revisions. Even bigger...
I agree with your perspective. Do you have some suggestions on how to word the rule to make it clearer?
A large part of our productive members do not indulge in aiding socks. So don't worry about that. How many times have you encountered this particular problem of other members aiding a sock? I...
This is just an information post regarding Charmandar's sock (TioKill). The Bureaucrats and HR group has decided to demote KingTempest for 3 months for his involvement in this (knowing about the sock and still being silent). Being a staff member, it's an obligation to report such actions.
I will comment here later. I don't think we can get one fit for every type of thread since they vary hugely depending on several factors. There can be a minimum number of staff who accept a revision for it to pass for very unpopular or straightforward revisions, but we cannot set rigid numbers...
It's based on a calc. For the sake of this CRT we need to also discuss the validity of the calc and if the assumptions taken into account are reliable.
I was asked to comment here on the Sokyoku feat. I don't think we should assume the method of destruction to be a single explosion because the statement provides no such detail. That's our standard procedure regarding such statements. We'd need some kind of direct evidence or strong implication...
I think the current text in the responsibilities section sufficiently conveys what is expected:
Reporting rule-breakers in order to maintain a congenial atmosphere within the wiki.
This thread is specifically for deciding regulations for regular cases, so let's focus on that.
In my opinion...
For staff members, it's a no-brainer. It doesn't need to be said. I think it is already mentioned in the staff info pages that reporting rule violations is part of their job. And decisions regarding them will be taken by the HR group depending on the situation and severity.
This is specifically...
This thread is specifically made for regulations about the involvement of regular members in case of sock-puppets. I'd like to make our rules clearer.
Our current rules say the following:
Using sock-puppet handles is strongly forbidden, especially to circumvent blocks. Doing so will result in...
Yes, TheGreatJedi is correct. It wouldn't qualify as him moving his body against any kind of gravitational force. Since the discussion has happened, I will not close the thread.
The sense of judgment regarding those cases will differ from member to member. I think it's better to create a thread for any type of calc change once the calc is approved.
Thanks @Crabwhale, @Moritzva, @Mr._Bambu and @DarkDragonMedeus for handling the situation. Char/Tiokill has been rightly permabanned. The accusations of other members having known about the alt being used and participating alongside him will be looked over by the HR members.
I think posting ****, making socks, ignoring a direct warning about making socks and continuing to make socks deserves a much harsher punishment than 3 months.
