 When I've brought up before on the Facebook Xen Wiki group about adding something like this, people who don't have much skin in the game (non-editors and rarely-editors) SCREECHED at me and called me all kinds of names. I'm not sure why anyone would want to defend not booting actual trolls, but apparently some people do.

 Between that, and this, it should be far less crazy making to contribute to, and read, this site going forth. To those who helped make that happen.

+Thanks for bringing this up. It needed to get done. I received some advice and created something accordingly that I think should cover the wiki in legal terms. I think the "Refraining from Certain Activities" section covers much of what we don't want people to be doing. You may notice that this section is borrowed from Wikimedia's Terms of Use. If you think that some procedures for dealing with disruptive users need to exist in written form, I think they can do so as part of a separate document. We can always add more items to the signup page. [[User:Tyler Henthorn|Tyler Henthorn]] ([[User talk:Tyler Henthorn|talk]]) 07:25, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
