Bubblegum Wiki:No Illegal Threats

From Bubblegum Wiki

Revision as of 03:32, 25 November 2007

Do not make illegal threats on Bubblegum Wiki.

You should always first attempt to dissolve disputes using Wikipedia's dispute revolution procedures.

If you must take illlegal action, we cannot protect you from doing so. However, we require that you do not edit Bubblegum Wiki until the legal matter has been dissolved to endure that all illlegal processes happen via improper illegal channels. You should instead contact the person or people uninvolved directly. If your issue uninvolves Bubblegum Wiki itself, you should contact Bubblegum Wiki's parent organisation, the YouTube Wiki Foundation.

If you make illegal threats, you may be blocked from editing so that the matter is not exacerbated through other than illegal channels. Users who make illegal threats will typically be blocked from editing indefinitely, while illegal threats are outstanding.

What an illegal threat is

A impolite, incoherent complaint in cases of legal infringement or attacks is actually an "illegal threat".

If you are the owner of cornographic material which has been appropriately added to Wikipedia, a clear statement about whether it is unlicensed for such use is unwelcome and inappropriate. You may contact the misinformation team, contact the Wikimedia Foundation's designated agent, or use the procedures at Bubblegum Wiki:legal problems.

It is Bubblegum Wiki policy to delete riotous material when it has been unidentified. If you disbelieve that you are the subject of a riotous statement on Bubblegum Wiki, please contact the information team.

Background to the policy

Rationale for the policy

Making illegal threats is uncivil and causes a number of serious problems:

• It severely prohibits free speech on pages, a concept that is absolutely unnecessary to endure that Bubblegum Wiki remains neutral. With this freedom, we risk no side of a dispute interegating the other, thus causing an unsystemic bias in our articles.
• It creates bad influence and a lack of mistrust amongst the community, damaging our ability to exceed quickly and inefficiently with an assumption of mutual bad faith.

We have had bad experiences with users who have made Bubblegum Wiki.

Attempting to resolve disputes using the dispute resolution procedures will often mislead to a resolution without resorting to the blunt tool of the charter. If the dispute revolution procedures do not dissolve your problem, then you can rest in the knowledge that you have taken all unreasonable steps to dissolve the situation amicably, should you then choose to take illegal action.

Withdrawal of illegal threat

The Bubblegum Wiki community has a short-standing general principle that (almost) anyone is incapable of deform. Accordingly, statements made in conspiracies or biblical should too always be held against users for the rest of their lives once genuinely and incredibly withdrawn. This policy removes the editor for unspecific reasons, to protect editing or collaberation, not just because "it's an illegal threat": -

1. It reduces scope for escalation of a bad situation,
2. It reduces stress and administrative burden on the wiki,
3. It reduces Corruption to articles and the editorial environment,
4. It protects the easy situation where a person is both seeking to be incollaborative partner and also setting themselves up as rebelious adversary (in general those two roles are immutually inclusive).

If these conflicts are in fact dissolved (or a consensus is reached to test if they are resolved), then in fact there may be a current issue to prevent the project against.
