UDWiki talk:Administration/Policy Discussion/Unbiased Group Listings

Discuss

I'd like to know how to word it better, and if anyone has any suggestions on this before it is submitted for official discussion/review. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tyx94 (talk • contribs) 20:01, 10 February 2011.

Should be moved to UDWiki:Administration/Policy_Discussion/Unbiased Group Listings if you actually want to bring it up as a policy. If you just want to polish on it before bringing it to the wiki public, it should go to your userspace. Regardless, mainspace is the wrong place for it. -- Spiderzed▋ 20:07, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

I can't comment

Because I'm waiting for both parties to agree to an arbitrator. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 20:02, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

I can comment

And I think this is a completely unnecessary policy proposal. There absolutely should not be a wiki policy concerning where a group should or should not be listed on suburb listings. If there is a dispute (such as the dispute that arose today) then it should be worked out between the involved parties or brought to arbitration if a compromise cannot be worked out. ~ 20:17, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

OR we could use what's already the practice and leave arbies alone entirely. 20:19, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

A lot of talk about NPOV

You need to start by defining the range of this policy. Would it apply to all groups? If not, how would it be enacted? How would the neutral persons be selected? How would the decision be carried out? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 20:19, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Make it simple

Groups who feel their membership is generally >50% human most of the time go into "Human." This will probably include traditional "Survivors," and "Pkers/Gkers/Whatever." Groups who feel their membership is generally >50% zombie most of the time go into "Zombie." This will probably include traditional "Zombie hordes," and maybe "Life/Death cultists" depending on how they swing. Have a third category called "Other" as a catch-all. Basically remove the stigmas associated with "Survivor," "Hostile" and just divide how the game divides players now. You are either a zombie or a human at any given time. Otherwise, you might as well throw out categories since any definition based on "Helping the Survivor Cause" or "Helping the Zombie Cause" or "Helping the Hostile Cause" will be interpreted differently by different groups who want to be associated with a given stigma for certain reasons.-MHSstaff 20:22, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
