Line 1:
''Please go to the [[RollerCoaster Tycoon Wiki talk:Policy#Phase Two - Discuss Here|bottom of this page]] to discuss the policy.
==Approval of Policy First Draft==
This is the system that is being established to approve the initial version of the Policy page. This is not the system that will be established for proposing changes after a policy is created.
Line 7 ⟶ 8:
===Phase Two===
This is the '''amendment approval''' phase. Voting for all amendments will occur simultaneously; with a section devoted to each amendment. Voting will be open on amendments from July 20th at Midnight (UTC) to July 27th at Midnight (UTC). After that, all amendments receiving majority votes in favor will be enacted into the proposed policy.
:Revision: No amendments came forward by the pre-set deadline. Therefore, this phase will simply be an open review and discussion phase. If a number of users wish to go back and propose changes, the timeline can be adjusted further.
===Phase Three===
Line 16 ⟶ 19:
*Users can only vote once per question; if multiple amendments are proposed, each user can vote on each amendment once. Each user will be able to cast one vote during phase three.
*A user can change their vote after casting it, up until the deadline passes.
==Initial Policy Draft==
Line 33 ⟶ 30:
I was reading the help wiki, and the creator of the Muppets wiki mentioned a policy they had about once a user makes an edit, they have 5 days to sign up or their IP address is blocked. This was in place to encourage people to sign up and to minimise anomynous editing. I know it could scare alot of potential editors away, but it's just a thought.--[[User:Matt 20 1|Matt 20 1]] 12:18, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
:Ban: "In extreme cases", what is defined as extreme? Maybe pointing to the one above ([[:RollerCoaster_Tycoon Wiki:Policy#Blocks|Blocks]]) and describing what has to be done to be expelled? Anyway, I do like the rest already stated in the [[:RollerCoaster_Tycoon Wiki:Policy]]. I don't think it is a good idea to scare users into creating useraccounts, especially when users are not aware of such policies. I think it might be a better idea to actively point out to users who edit more than a specific amount of times that they should create a user account (after that, bans can always be issued if necessary). It is certainly a good idea to have this policy accepted, as it is integral for functioning, just as much as the [[:RollerCoaster Tycoon Wiki:Manual of Style]].

::I hesitate to say that it should be more specific as to when a user should be banned. Bans (and blocks, for that matter) should be done as a last resort, and then when an Administrator feels it is necessary to do so. The policy actually exists more to limit admins from banning or blocking for less than extreme circumstances (not that I'm saying it happens!). So in the case of blocks and bans, it's always the Administrator (individually, or as a group) to determine the best practice. The Admins shouldn't be bound to act in certain situations, because every situation is unique. -- [[User:LostInRiverview|Patrick (LostInRiverview)]]<small> ([[User_talk:LostInRiverview|talk]])([[User_blog:LostInRiverview|blog]])</small> 15:24, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
:::The concept of the policies, more so than the MoS, is that the policies are heavily vetted and agreed upon by the community at large before they go into practice. It's more likely that users will opt to follow policies that they themselves agreed upon, than those imposed on them by others. -- [[User:LostInRiverview|Patrick (LostInRiverview)]]<small> ([[User_talk:LostInRiverview|talk]])([[User_blog:LostInRiverview|blog]])</small> 15:27, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
==Phase Two - Discuss Here==
Use this space to discuss the policies before voting begins on July 28th. If there is a request to propose changes to the policy, the timeline for approval may be changed.
