There's no "policy" here. Just *sense*.
Fortunately, this has been written up as policy: [[m:Don't be dense]].
Phew! Writing it up as policy should fix the problem!
*cries*
<rant>
Before anyone feels tempted to propose new policies, can they please try a simple test
first: Take the negative/opposite, and ask
yourself if anyone normal would support it, or do that thing. If the answer is
"no", then the policy or naming is probably daft,
because it's not telling you anything you don't already know.
Example: "Don't be dense" --opposite--> "Try to be completely
stupid" ---Would anyone normal support?--> "No" --> policy is
a waste of space.
For what it's worth, the same idea also applies to the names of action groups too:
Example: "Women against rape" --opposite--> "Men in favour of
rape" ---Would anyone normal support?--> "No" --> stupid
name.
Example: "International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War"
--opposite--> "International Physicians trying to
encourage Nuclear War" ---Would anyone normal support?--> "No" -->
stupid name.
So, if you feel tempted to come up with policies or guidelines such as "Don't
torture cute kittens and then bury them alive", then
please: Don't. Thanks!

All the best,
Nick.
