- 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!
hahaha ... sure, where does it stop and whats next? do not have any stewards any more? then have no admins any more? i would really love if you just ask any person on the street the question: imagine you give 10 $ to wikipedia, should we use it to pay a lawyer to make the terms of use 10 times as long as before? and then count the "yes" answers :)
