Moderation talk:Policy Discussion/Signatures

Well what are peoples thoughts on this? I have a feeling that I may have missed something, but I'ld like to see what people think should be added/left out. Don't hesitate to comment. - 02:56, 19 September 2006 (PDT)
 * Well, under the punishment part, I think we should have a time limit for how long the user has to change their signature so that we're not banning/warning someone who had just went on a short vacation or doesn't log in for a while. Perhaps 1-2 weeks would be suitable. Some other things we might want to not allow would be offensive/innapropriate text or images in their descriptions so that we don't have people signing their comments with cursewords or images of... something. -- 15:49, 19 September 2006 (PDT)
 * Sounds right, but throw in malicious php links masquerading as images, like Mia Kristos' "Log Out" exploit that would log people she didn't like out of the wiki by having the php script catch the viewer's IP and forcably redirect them to the logout page. I guess that would be coverd by having nothing other than images or text displayed IN the signature. (IE: No using the IMG tag to call a PHP file or any other non-image.) -- &spades; Mo mod 16:30, 19 September 2006 (PDT)
 * Ok, it's updated. The malicious php links come under the first dot point I belive. I've updated the punishment rules as well. Any other changes that people can see? - 17:39, 19 September 2006 (PDT)
 * Yeah, I just figured it was worth mentioning the malicious PHP file. I suppose that would be considered a link to the logout page since it's just a long way around to do the same thing. *nod* -- &spades; Mo mod 17:44, 19 September 2006 (PDT)
 * I've added the part about the PHP file and I've also covered just about any other kind of script/progam/whatever as well just to be sure. Theres no harm in over protection. - 05:55, 20 September 2006 (PDT)

Mind if i borrow some part of this policy for udwiki ? --hagnat 21:51, 19 September 2006 (PDT)
 * Hmm... I guess so, but only on two conditions. The first is if you restore this page that was speedily deleted. I don't appreciate my user pages being deleted without being asked first. So you can tell them if they really want it gone they'll have to put a request on my talk page. Don't worry, I will respond to my talk page for things of that nature. The second condition I have is that you have to mention that part of the policy was based off the one on the scroll wars wiki and link it here as well as mention that it was designed by Mo (just say Amazing), Draaj and me. I don't think either of these are too difficult or unreasonable. - 01:37, 20 September 2006 (PDT)
 * I've put an undeletion request in for it, so you can do it that way thanks (unless someone else gets to it, but thats ok as well). - 06:32, 20 September 2006 (PDT)
 * hum... i will work on these. --hagnat 09:02, 20 September 2006 (PDT)
 * Hmm... don't worry about the undeletion request, Bob Hammero will probably get rid of it strait away, and as you said, you can't seem to restore it. Oh well. - 17:13, 20 September 2006 (PDT)

I've added another part about images. Does anyone have any issues with this policy? If not I'll put this to vote in about three days time. - 23:21, 20 September 2006 (PDT)
 * Just about spelling... signitures should be spelt signatures, and pixles should be pixels. But... no problems with the subject of the policy itself. -- 07:41, 21 September 2006 (PDT)
 * There we go, I ran it through MS Word and there were so many spelling mistakes, it's not good. Oh well I'll just have to remember how to spell "signatures", "pixels" and just about everything else, lol. - 18:51, 21 September 2006 (PDT)
