Strike systejm is extremely bad idea. We do warnings, you check a users talkpage and when you see enough warnings, you may take actions. Don't use a page hidden somewhere on the wiki (i.e. here) for this. -- ◄mendel► 16:50, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

I must say that I am very very disappointed with RT, Mendel and to a lesser extent, Entropy. Warwick is someone with an extremely rocky history, due to her having the most RFAs and a tenuous relationship with a lot of members here at best. A big issue was that a lot of people didn't think she would suit the role of the admin yet here she is, taking the effort to take her new role seriously and attempt a new system when you guys have to come along and shoot her down. That is incredibly low

@Randomtime, you are certainly not helping. It's clear that you don't like Warwick though and you prove yourself as the bigger man by coming here and just saying that this is getting really stupid, really quickly? Warwick was at least mature enough to respond in a somewhat civilized fashion. I'm really trying to keep this at a appropriate level but your complete immaturity just screams at me, it's clear that Warwick is not the one that is at fault here. You certainly won't but I highly suggest you take a step back and think on what you just did, you really need to grow up.

@Entropy, you're not helping. There was no need to accelerate the situation like you did, instead you should have at least given a explanation on why you might disagree with what Warwick is planning. Even a rudimentary one would have sufficed, it could have bought about intelligent discussion instead of hurting Warwick's feelings.

@Mendel, I will call you out on this. You are completely 100% wrong in both your statement and attitude. You gave no reason on why a strike system was wrong, you just described what the current procedures are. Even then, how is a strike system a bad idea? If anything it's an attempt at clearing out some of the issues of the current system, without a doubt there are many times where the admins are on the fence on whether something is inappropriate or whether someone should be warned or blocked. A strike system at least puts some things into concrete which can clear up the slippery slope that has occurred in the past. You said it's a 'extremely bad idea' simply because you disagree with it, not because you actually took the time to think out how it works or its repercussions. Your final sentence is just about as inane as your opening sentence, obviously if this is finalized with any kinks ironed out then it won't simply be 'hidden somewhere on the wiki'. Did it occur to you that if this was completed then it might have been advertised appropriately? No you didn't think about that.

As I said, Warwick made a solid attempt to try and at least show that she takes her new role seriously. She wants to prove that she's changed for the better and this strike system was an attempt to give some hard evidence. All of you just marched in here like some lowly thugs and destroyed it without even the slightest thought on the real issue here or whether or not it can really work. Honestly, you should all be ashamed - b.r // talk  15:25, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * We shot her down because it was a bad idea. New ideas != good ones. If you want to read the discussion about what was on this page (minus the 3 strikes = ban, which was even worse- we aren't a mafia), go read the talk page on Don't Be Stupid. -- Shadowcrest  15:49, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
