UDWiki talk:Administration/Sysop Archives/Vantar/2007-11-16 Misconduct

Vantar

I don't see an 'expired' policies section, and it wasn't voted on, so it couldn't be accepted or rejected...so this, sir, is just plain crazy. I submit that you are on an irrational vendetta against this policy because everyone's voting for it... except those whom the policy holds accountable.  Nalikill  ^{TALK  E!  W!  M!  USAI}  03:46, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps creating and using UDWiki:Administration/Policy_Discussion/Archive-that page and chalking this whole affair up to a good faith series of mistakes would be best.  Nalikill  ^{TALK  E!  W!  M!  USAI}  03:50, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

I submit that you need to read the guidelines, specifically Rule 4:

It says:

Any discussion which doesn't go to voting in 2 weeks will be archived.

"archived" being the key word there. Not accepted, rejected or withdrawn. "ARCHIVED." Hence my suggestion. And I'm sorry if the tone was offensive; I was trying for a more formal tone and it came off looking stupid.  Nalikill  ^{TALK  E!  W!  M!  USAI}  03:53, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

It was in the archives, and as Grim said on the main page (thanks again for pointing that one out, Grim) - policies that pass their use-by dates are considered Withdrawn. --Cyberbob ^{DORIS CGR U!} 03:54, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Precedent has them going to withdrawn, not voting.--Karek^maps?! 03:56, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

It was in rejected, hence the confusion... and withdrawn, I suppose would be alright...but I personally think having an archive page would be better than saying withdrawn. But that's just my two cents.  Nalikill  ^{TALK  E!  W!  M!  USAI}  03:57, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Then make a policy, and move it too voting before 2 weeks.--Karek^maps?! 03:58, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

User:Nalikill/Withdrawn to Archive Please help me flesh it out and format it? I can never be long enough to make it look like an actual policy.  Nalikill  ^{TALK  E!  W!  M!  USAI}  04:00, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Withdrawn basically means it never went to voting. Theres no point creating more confusion by adding a fourth archive for the very weak difference between withdrawn and expired policies. --The Grimch ^{U! E! WAT!} 04:00, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
