Forum:Improving NPA

I have two things I would like to say about our NPA policy:

1) I'm sure you guys don't mean it, but it comes off as arrogant. During my time here, i've seen users who will go unnamed (for now at least) insult various people on here. I haven't seen much of it, but i've seen insults here. One of them was towards James Holmes. Yes, he did do a terrible thing, and i'm not saying I wouldn't have given him a harsh insult in real life, but why here? We clearly have a policy that states not to attack users, but apparently, since he isn't one (that we know of) it's ok to call him a retard? Again, i'm not saying I wouldn't do the same if I met him IRL, but when we have an NPA rule, we shouldn't here at least. I've also literally see an admin call a user who got banned a "jack@$$", and even if said user did get blocked for it, it's still a very mean thing to do with the NPA policy here.

I get that Wikia is community reliant, so we shouldn't make our users acting in good faith leave, but if you're going to have a rule here, you might as well make it consistent, and the fact that it's inconsistent makes us seem arrogant, because our "good" users can't be insulted, but anyone else can? We don't even know if they're not users here.

2) Correct me if i'm wrong, but I think NPA is a Wikia-wide policy, so we can't remove or change it, so can we please make a "No Attacks" policy? Also, i'm all for giving opinions on things, including people, but it's not needed here, and plus, the policy would be much more consistent.

I have a feeling many of you thought to oppose this instantly, but can you please at least cosider it? TheAwesomefroggy (talk) 23:35, September 22, 2012 (UTC)
