[WikiEN-l] 3RR needs to go (was Re: Newbie biting, the 3RR, and improper labeling of vandalism)

[FT2]

3RR is there for the same reason POINT is there - a degree of getting in the
way of writing is constructive, too much is destructive.

The "too much" is a subjective limit, but that doesn't mean broad agreement
on a decent  place to set it can't be had.

Blocking people isn't going to help
y'all decide what version the page
should be, and will probably just
make it hard for anyone to work
together.

I suggest you get rid of per-user
3RR and replace it with some
sort of per-article revert rule,
which results in article protection
if a limit is exceeded.  Then y'all
can actually talk about content
instead of quibbling over who
deserves to be blocked and
who doesn't.

Deserves... did something wrong...
doesn't deserve... didn't do anything
wrong....  3RR blocks are punitive,
and do nothing to protect the
encyclopaedia itself y'all are always
bringing up as an excuse to hurt
people.

Not that anyone will listen to me....

Actually I don't care that much, as
long as you are nice to the people
when you block them... but that
might be too much to hope for.
