[WikiEN-l] Legal threats as grounds for automatic termination

[Mark Pellegrini]

I don't know if many of you are aware, but last week we had a user in here
(http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Contributions&target=Fel
ix_F._Bruyns) who was on a personal crusade to make wikipedia 'family
friendly' - IE, by censoring our articles. Needless to say, it didn't go
over very well. Long story short, he ended up threatening to sue several
contributors -
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Raul654&diff=3853204&oldid=3852747,
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Moriori&diff=3853177&oldid=3852828

I started digging through our policies, and found this dusty relic:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_legal_threats

At this point, it's only a proposal. Also, it doesn't actually *do*
anything. I'd like to suggest adopting a terminate-on-site rule -- you make
a legal threat, and you're automatically banned. I'd like to know what
others here think.
