User:DannyOnCurse/Clean-Up

This policy is designed to remedy some of the issues that have caused PvX to slowly devolve into a thing more closely resemblant of 4chan then a wiki.

Clean-Up
Users who consistently show hostility towards the community, especially the administrative team, consistently produce and contest trash builds, and consistently show a lack of ability to use the Search function will be banned. The length of the ban will increase as per sysop discretion upon repeated incidents.

New Users
As many new users often come to PvX expecting the community to welcome their all-too-often poorly theorycrafted builds with open arms, they are often deeply disappointed when their build is immediately judged as trash. This has resulted is a disturbingly stagnant and uncontributive userbase, highly uncharacteristic of a wikipedia and closely resembling that of a forum. Care should be taken to inform these users of PvX's policies and PvX's goals.

All Users
As noted above, much of PvX's userbase has become disturbingly stagnant and counter-productive. Users should be encouraged to write Guides and flesh out build articles in areas in which they have experience. For a wiki which prides itself on competive play in both PvE and PvP, we have very little information regarding it. A recent trend of using Build articles as Guides has produced many builds of exceptionally low quality and, in some cases, which contain excessive amounts of text, or Builds which are so resemblant of other Builds that they only differ in title, a select few skills, and usage. Guides should also be listed more prominently on the Main Page once this task begins to be accomplished, as they're currently not nearly as visible as builds are.
