User blog:Meta07/On the Strike System

Ok, so after seeing the users protesting against the new law, I'm here to reply and to state the Strike System's true intent. Yeah, hate me for that. Hate me more! I don't care anymore! Ahaha.... ahahahhahahahhaha.....

Anyway, I made it because of 3 reasons:

Clarity
Until now, the users only get warned and blocked when the Conception Master "feels like it", or thinks he/she has been annoying enough, without a clear system on how many crimes an user should commit before he/she gets warned or blocked. I just want to change that with the Strike System, so whenever an user gets warned or blocked, there should be a clear reason for it.

Besides, I also made the Strike System so that warnings won't become completely obsolete and useless after it has been posted.

Anti-Tyranny
As I've said, until now. the wiki has always been something like this:

1. Warn an user

2. Conception Master is like "Ah, screw it!" afterwards

3. Blocks that user whenever he/she likes to.

That's a bit tyrannic and depends on the Conception Master's mood, don't you think? So, I think that when there's a Strike System like this, users will be warned and blocked systematically, so there won't be any user that gets punished the same way, even if he/she hasn't actually caused as much harm as another user.

Less Harsh than the wiki's current state (believe it or not!)
Yeah, so the main and in fact ONLY reason you've been protesting against it is because it's "TOO HARSH!". But, have you ever considered it seriously?

Let's take a look at the wiki's current state. There's no rule on when an user will be blocked. Cool! SO that means you can always get away when the Conception Masters stop hating you! NOT! In reality, in the wiki's current state, about 3 warning messages is more than enough to get you blocked for the first time, and for ONE WEEK! With the new Strike System, it'll take 6 warning messages for you to be blocked for the first time, and for only THREE DAYS!

Oh, and in the wiki's current state, when you block expires, just one single warning message or 2 at most is enough to get you re-blocked, yet with the Strike System, all your strikes will be reset when your block expires, and you'll have to collect all 5 strikes again to get blocked again.

So, that's my true intent when I made the Strike System. Please comment if you disagree with any of the points above, ok?
