One Piece Wiki talk:Guidebook/Discussions, Blogs, and Discord

Redo
The blog rules should be redone. Rules like blogs about Sabo, blogs about devil fruits, power level blogs etc etc were never voted on! Despite that DP keeps on deleting blogs about those topics and also blogs that don't have enough content while they have way more than enough. We must either make them rules approved by the community or don't claim that they are rules and don't delete blogs because they violate them. 09:25, October 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * I Agree with Staw,...those rules have to be voted upon individually.--

I already removed that from this list since they were never voted on. SeaTerror (talk) 09:39, October 19, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah and it was added back. I did it too before you did, but apparently people here don't know what community decision means. 09:52, October 19, 2013 (UTC)

It hasn't been added back since I removed it. Only the chat thing was which I removed again anyway since that isn't one of our rules there either. SeaTerror (talk) 10:00, October 19, 2013 (UTC)

"Power-level blogs are not allowed." Anyway DP deletes blogs about random reasons which shouldn't be allowed. If he doesn't like that kind of blogs, he should discuss it with the community. 10:02, October 19, 2013 (UTC)

It use to be more specific but the "specifics" were never voted on. The worst ones were the Sabo and Straw Hat ones which DP added there for no reason. SeaTerror (talk) 10:05, October 19, 2013 (UTC)

I agree the with the rules as they are now, as long as the are strictly followed, and no other hidden rules are applied (see Sabo). I think though that we should re-discuss the power level rule, because there have been too many objections stated lately.

There are always going to be arguments on blog comments. This is maybe more common on power level blogs, but it still happens. 11:30, October 19, 2013 (UTC)

Bump.--

I agree with Vazelos, but I also think that the decision should be made by the community and not by an individual's decision. 11:39, October 20, 2013 (UTC)

It actually looks like only two things were voted on and one of those was just about having rules or not. So technically we have no blog rules other than no non related One Piece blogs. SeaTerror (talk) 19:54, October 20, 2013 (UTC)

Yup, pretty much. 19:57, October 20, 2013 (UTC)

Many sections of that forum were decided on without poll because nobody cared to post their objections, or nobody had objections. We don't need to vote on rules when there's a clear majority, or no posted objections. So yes, ST, we do have more blog rules than just non-OP blogs.

That being said, if you people want to "redo" them, go ahead. But you'll need to put forth effort. This is the same situation as the Forum Rules, where several users want to redo them, but nobody wants to take the effort to make sure it gets done. Someone needs to take the effort, and unlike last time, it won't be me. I'm not going to stop you from redoing the rules, but I do have a couple things I want to say about where things go from here: Do those things, and I won't care too much if you redo them or not. 00:19, October 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * If the rules are to be redone, it should be done in a new forum. Rules that affect more than one page should always be decided in forums. And the old forum should remain archived as well.
 * Since the old forum closed without objections, the rules should remain as they are now until that new forum closes. Given the unresponsiveness of the last forum, the current rules should not be removed until it's perfectly clear it's what the community wants.
