UDWiki talk:Administration/Policy Discussion/Better Protection for User talk: Kevan
The reason I bring that up is this VB discussion. (If you are a visitor from a future where the edit history has been purged, you find it here instead.)
Obviously, Kevan's talk page is a special case and should have special protection. But there's no policy covering that yet, which might not only lead to Doodles being let off the hook, but might encourage similar spamming among other drama mongers. Time to provide the ops with a legal foundation from which to tackle such bad faith edits.
For now to get the ball rolling, I simply went with Kevan's page rules and added a bullet point for general spam/harassment/off-topic blathering. But I'm certain there's more that should be discouraged.-- Spiderzed▋ 17:44, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
Not in its current form
Things like this are of a serious enough nature to warrant inclusion on the mighty one's talk page, because of the issue of game-breakingness. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 18:04, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
- Agreed in such severe cases. I was thinking more about the 9,345th "Halp, I see no HP outside of bank ruins" report. -- Spiderzed▋ 18:10, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
No. Will provide a better argument later on but now I just want to say that this is overkill, and needlessly creates an ivory tower around Kev.--

- I agree. At first, when I read the bullet points, I thought they were things you could do, and saying you can't is massively and ridiculously overkill.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 19:08, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
- Well it's basically what Kevan himself has written at the top of his talk page. So it's not as bad as it sounds. If he doesn't want it there, don't put it there. - User:Whitehouse 19:14, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
