Revision as of 13:22, 12 April 2014
* Voluntary Restriction Notice *
I voluntarily agree to the following restrictions:
* I am not allowed to censor/hat/alter comments by anyone, except on my own talk page where I may remove but not alter them.
* I limit myself to 0RR. I will observe both the letter and the spirit of this rule.
* I am not to start deletion discussions of of any kind ( I may participate in thoose started by others).
* I agree to discontinue a discussion when three users in good standing tell me I should drop it and no one has supported my position.
* None of this is intended to prevent me from warning, reporting and / or reverting vandals as often as necessary. I may not use such warnings as a means to get around any of my agreed upon restrictions.
* I will not even consider asking for any change on these restrictions for a bare minimum of 1 year after 10/9/2013 (my last block ).
* I further declare that per Fluffernutter: I am topic-banned from all articles and discussions related to either Private Manning or transgender issues, broadly construed, for six months. Appeal of my block can be made to WP:BASC. When I return after my block, I may appeal my topic ban to either Fluffernutter, Arbcom, or WP:AE after one month of non-disruptive editing. (UTC)
Considering that my edit spoke of the fact that Tullian has publicly debated other with regards to his views, and the links I referenced go DIRECTLY to those debates, there should not be an issue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BaptistBolt (talk • contribs) 18:51, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
WP:Ban policy - reverted your BOLD change
Hi; I think that your BOLDly proposed change, while supported (I think) by a lot of the community, is a step further than any existing consensus that may be out there. There has been significant support for proxy editing with those restrictions, under limited circumstances. I reverted your change to the policy. That said, it's entirely possible that a new consensus can be gathered to change the wording and allowed behavior, and I invite you to start a consensus discussion for the policy change on the appropriate venue(s). I will certainly respect any such consensus for a change. Thanks. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 23:05, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

The best case example of the proxy I have seen is along these lines: You are banned from LGBT. You have a little watched LGBT BLP on your watch list. You see a BLP violation that is clear, unambiguous, and vile. You contact an admin to say "Hey, this may need to be taken care of". That section prevents someone who has a battleground attitude with you from turning both you and the admin in for a ban violation and proxying for a banned user. I can't post this to the talk page due it being semi-protected but that clause is there for a reason. Its to prevent the petty battleground crap from flying between wikilawyers. Others abusing it is just like any other policy on the site, it happens. 129.9.104.10 (talk) 17:51, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for posting that. I had an account long ago (5 years I think...) and became disillusioned with editing because of all the drama. It shouldn't be this hard to collect knowledge in a civil manner. I poke in occasionally to read articles, fix a typo here and there, and see what drama has been cooked up. And in the above paragraph, prevent should be taken to mean "avoid". No policy prevents anything as ANI clearly indicates over 800+ archive pages). 129.9.104.12 (talk) 14:00, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
