User blog:Binkatong/New Kindness Policy Discussion

Some of you may have noticed that there is a new rule at the bottom of Community Guidelines. What it's trying to say is basically "don't be a jerk to other users", but right now it's not very clear because I spat it out in a few seconds while trying to stop some behavior on chat that was obviously unacceptable. People have been saying that being mean to each other for the sake of meanness and calling each other names and stuff is fine because there isn't a rule about it, though honestly not doing so should be a matter of common courtesy. But now there is a rule, so there.

My hope is that this new policy will deter all the unnecessary and pointless drama that has been running rampent all over the wiki (to quote Lumin8, turning this into the "Degrassi Wiki"), or at least give the admins the power to put an end to it when it starts. I know it may seem strict or stupid, but the point of this site is to share our Ben 10 stories, not squabble over who likes who and how this guy said this about that guy. Make series, not war! :D

As you can probably tell, the rule needs serious revision to make it clear what is and isn't acceptable. That's what this blog is for. I'm going to ask you, what new rules do you think will help avoid and settle conflict on this wiki? I think it's best to brainstorm as a community so that everyone agrees, or at least comes to a compromise. So, any ideas?
