Board Thread:General Wiki Discussion/@comment-9967354-20140403055636

This forum is based on the establishment of new Quality Standards and rules. While most of the rules in the Rough Draft for the new minimum requirements for the pastas on the website were rather general, they must have missed a few crucial points. We are a literature website, and it is difficult to jot down the rules of literature itself, for they vary with usage, let alone add minimum quality requirements. I suggest we allow users to make use of the forum for suggesting additions to the draft we already have, so they can participate actively in the site administration. We could discuss these additions and implement them if the admins wish to do so.

The main idea is to allow everyone a say in matters that affect them and this website. It's easier for them to obey rules they have created. Also, as I said before, literature is a difficult topic to bind with rules and regulations. We need more experience, and more people to tell us what they want to see in a story. This will be easier now that chat's gone, and users are spending more time on the main site.

Of course, they would have to abide by the following rules, if this resolution is passed:

1. They can formulate only rules related to articles posted on the website.

2. The basic idea should not be general; it should not come down to something along the lines of The story must be scary

3. Every forum created on the topic must be prefixed with 'Site Rules addition # ', so we all know it's related to this thread. Of course, we can also discuss this, if nobody agrees to it.

4. The threads must be in 'General Wiki Discussion', so they can be all found in a single place.

5. There must be a heading that clearly states what you wish to add, then you must elaborate, explaining why the rule should be implemented.

6. The rules will be discussed by users, who can support or oppose without a reason.

7. Admins have veto. ^_^

8. Do NOT propose new rules in the comments here; this thread has the sole purpose of discussing the idea of letting users suggest rules.

9. The threads on this matter cannot oppose another one. If you wish to oppose a suggestion, use the comments.

10. Lastly, the proposed rules should be at least three in a thread, so we don't have too many. Collaborate with another user if you wish. The rules should be very specific.

Do consider this, and add to it, if you wish to, because this is all I can say on the matter. And please do not start discussions until this thread has enough support.
