Greeting my fellow Jurassic Park fans.

I think I have come up with a set of small rules that could reduce the amounts of flamewars on the forum or blog posts.

RULE #1Separation of Wiki policy and normal threads

When a thread is designed to discuss what the Wiki's policy is about a certain topic, there should be a header on top of the post informing the reader that this is a special thread and therefore Rule #2 (see below) applies.

In this way, a user could start a blog/thread to make a case that - for example - Muldoon or Ludlow are still alive without getting the admins at his/her throat. However, the user should know that whatever agreement/disagreement arises in this discussion has no effect on this Wiki's policy on the topic.

RULE #2 Wiki policy threads rules

When a thread is actually designed to discuss what should be written in our articles, I think we prevent a lot of harsh words if these rules apply for the comments:


 * No
 * No
 * No s
 * Keep comments short
 * Do not write extra sentences that do not improve your argument
 * Keep comments respectfull

If admins think comments do not follow these rules, they have to right to remove the comments. They have to tell the authors why their comments are removed, ofcourse.

RULE #3 Removal inflammable comments

It has often happened on a thread or blog discussion that one or two comments diverted the conversation from the actual topic and we ended up discussing why JPIII sucks, T. rex > Spinosaurus, Jurassic Park: The Game is not canon etc. etc.

I think admins should have to right to remove such comments (or part of them) so the discussion is on-topic again.

OK, what do you people think about this?
