Revision as of 18:08, 23 February 2013
This is the space for discussing the proposed Permaban Appeal Account Creation policy. Specific questions I have include:
- Should the account be able to create the appeal or only comment once it has been initiated by another user? I have it as the former, but I can see arguments for the latter.
- Should the account be able to comment on the talk page, or only on the Appeal vote itself? Do I need to clarify archive versus main A/DE pages?
- Is the mention of the lack of other privileges and/or banning the account after the vote is over clear enough?
- Anything else you may want to discuss.
Have at it, y'all. Bob Moncrief EBD•W! 16:48, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
- Seems workable to me.

A Different Proposal
So I think the Permaban Apeals policy could use some rephrasing, but I don't think it needs to be this. Users are banned, for the most part because they ignored or were unaware of some rules. Adding new rules about how they can use alternate accounts would cause problems, I would think. The existing vandalism policy regarding vandal alts is almost as old as the wiki itself, so it would be better to reinforce that.
I'd suggest adding something like Permabanned users may not comment on their own appeal. Use of alternate accounts during an appeal may be dealt with according to the Vandalism Policy and may result in the appeal being withdrawn.
I think we should then set up some sort of method for permabanned users to choose a representative for them if they choose. It could be similar to Arbitration; a list of users available to speak on the behalf of a permabanned user during an appeal. ~
