Hopefully we can come to an agreement about what needs to be reported right away and what can be discussed first.--– Nubis NWO 20:05, 6 September 2009 (BST)
Bad idea
Would this reduce the amount of VB cases? Sure. But there is an important side effect that I think you have missed. The only think this does is make bad edits stay up for 24 hours. So lets say someone makes an edit to a page that is considered "bad". Normally such an edit would be fixed almost instantly. With this policy you have to wait for the original owner to fix said edit, which goes completely against the entire point of a wiki. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding what kind of edits this policy covers. Stale 2000 20:22, 6 September 2009 (BST)
- nothing on this wiki is life or death that couldn't wait 24 hours to fix. If you think that there are edits JUST THAT IMPORTANT please step outside for fresh air. --– Nubis NWO 23:50, 7 September 2009 (BST)
- There are just to many unanswered questions. What happens if someone informs the person but also fixes the edit? Is that vandalism (ie is fixing an edit vandalism?)? Does the original person get charged with vandalism, since its impossible for him to fix his edit now? Since all edits are likely to be fixed by someone else before the original perpetrator can fix them himself is it even possible to be brought to the VB board? What if I want to prevent someone else from going to the vandal banning page, can I just fix the edit myself, thus stopping the case from going up? What happens if someone exploits the policy by continuously making bad faith edits but fixing them before he is brought to vandal banning? See what I mean? Stale 2000 00:25, 8 September 2009 (BST)
- Also, lets say person 2 fails to contact person 1 and is charged with vandalism by person 3. Would person 3 have to contact person 2 and tell that person to contact person 1 within 24 hours, before being able to charge person 2 with vandalism? It just goes on and on...
