- Harassment, threats, stalking, vandalism, and other long-term issues: The proposed agreement would make clear that such acts are prohibited. Novel for us, the agreement also raises the possibility of a global ban for extreme cross-wiki violations, a need that we have heard expressed from a number of community members. We will share that policy with the community in draft form shortly. Dealing with such matters is a process that we hope volunteers will continue to lead on a day-to-day basis.
Is this a new direction? A new system that is being considered for WMF intervention in such matters? So far, these decisions have been left solely to local project bodies, or in the absence, to Stewards. I am wondering what the draft is going to cover. Can someone please shed some light on this?
As a steward I can just say: Thanks Thing that it's not anymore stewards' job! As it will be staff action in the future, we wouldn't have that recurring problem anymore!
