User talk:JediRogue/Archival

"in teh archives". Hasty? ^^ Anyways, I could see a guideline about archiving to be useful. --- -- (s)talkpage 19:26, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I would rather it be a policy or part of a policy so that it can be enforced more.... -- Shadowphoenix  19:27, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Not GWW. Lord of all tyria 19:28, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * According to GW:YAV, the admins shouldn't have a choice of what should be hidden and what shouldn't (since they have no special rights). +1, they shouldn't be allowed to unhide comments from said persons own talkpage. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 19:29, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree GWW is a bit, shall I say um.... strict; but one thing I do agree with is that archives should not be tampered with and should follow a strict format etc. etc. @ May when you hide comments it screams bad faith, that is why we need something on it... -- Shadowphoenix  19:30, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * At the same token, you should not have the rights to remove or hide other user's comments. -- [[Image:Isk8.png]]  (T / C)  19:31, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * {ec]}}This has nothing to do with GWW. It has to do with the needs of this wiki. I will propose it as a policy as soon as a reasonable draft as been formed. Feel free to add your opinions here. Also, an admin's duty to protect the best interests of the wiki (and what they thing of as best interests is usually valid, which is why they were promoted in the first place) supersedes most policies.&mdash;♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 19:32, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

And the whole "you can remove comments from your talk page" thing is really easily abused and shouldn't be done in practice except in cases of vandalism, says I. 19:33, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Tbh, its a users talk page.. Basically, their space on the wiki (imo). No-one else should be allowed to tamper with it, and it should be to their discretion whether or not somthing gets removed. Just imo. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 19:35, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * We're well aware of your stance on the issue. The thing is, personal discretion when removing other people's comments will lead to confusion, misrepresentation, and quite possibly malicious deception. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 19:36, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

I disagree with this policy idea. The user space is just that, the space of the user. You wouldn't go into someone's house and nail everything in place, or go get the garbage that they threw out and bring it back. I think in the user space, users should be able to keep the freedom they presently have. &mdash; Powersurge360 Melancholia  19:37, 28 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I pre-emptively oppose any policy that interferes with a users right to archive or not archive their own talk. This isn't GWW, we don't need totalitarian Talk Police--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (Talk /Contribs ) 19:39, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * This is more or less "guidelines for archive". This is in no way totalitarianism.  -- [[Image:Isk8.png]]   (T / C)  19:43, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Says "beginnings of a policy", and it sounds to me that there are rules forming. I don't know, seems a ridiculous thing to be wasting effort on. Should we be improving wiki-articles, or governing the way someone saves an old talk page, and whether or not they are allowed to, or forced to. Hmmmm &mdash; Powersurge360 Melancholia  19:46, 28 April 2008 (UTC)


 * PROLES CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO MANAGE THEIR OWN TALKPAGE. AN ADMIN MUST ARBITARILY DECIDE FOR THEM, FOR THE GREATER GOOD!--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (Talk /Contribs ) 19:48, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, goodie, people agree with me for once. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 19:48, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * To be honest, this policy would only be in place due to a small number of users; the majority of people wouldn't be affected at all, I think. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 19:49, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
