Hello everyone,
As you may be aware of, the Disc Team has launched a process to review the prolonged presence of works published by authors since banned after grave allegations concerning serious misconducts and abusive behaviors.
If you are not aware, please backread through the "Major Bans Works Project" thread in the #staff-chat channel of the staffcord, and consult the following draft: http://backrooms-sandbox-2.wikidot.com/author-staff-suggestions
If you wish to recuse yourself from the project, or the vote, please state so in this thread, if you haven't done it previously.
To better inform the public about this process, a proposal has been made to include disclaimers on author pages and/or the works of those banned authors. The disclaimer would appear as such:
The works of this author is currently under the disciplinary review of the Staff Team, and may be unlisted, archived or completely removed from the Backrooms Wiki.
This author has been permanently banned due to evidenced accusations of serious misconducts and abusive behaviors incompatible with their presence in the community. Staff does not advocate that users or readers of the Backrooms Wiki seek out this author on/off Wikidot.
This author's public disciplinary log is available here.
What is the objective of this thread?
To vote on the application of this disclaimer, and whether or not said disclaimer should be added onto author pages, and/or all of the pages targeted by the Major Bans Works Project.
Vote Format
||~ Motion||~ YES/NO||
|| Apply the disclaimer?|| ||
||~ Motion||~ YES/NO||
|| Apply the disclaimer on author pages|| ||
|| Apply the disclaimer on all works|| ||What will happen?
Should the vote fail, the disclaimer will not be added, and further discussions will happen to decide whether or not an amended disclaimer is necessary, or if no disclaimer should be added at all for the duration of the project.
Should the vote pass, the disclaimer will be added on pages for which the motion passed. Should both motions fail, the results will be assumed as if the initial motion failed.
How long will the vote last?
Three days, ending around February 26th 5PM (GMT+1). In the meantime, volunteers and staffers will comb through the works of the authors targeted by the project and determine their degree of influence.
