Forum:Possible establishment of a userpage policy

As some of you may be aware, a certain user who was permanently blocked the other day had been a major nuisance with his userpage as well as those of other users, as evident by his final contributions. From a quick overview it appears that this had been influenced by the commonly used "Friends lists" that appear on many userpages here. It also appears that he had used his userpage to post flamebait/attacking images of other user's activity in Chat.

While these kinds of issues don't happen too frequently, there's nothing saying that they won't happen again. With this in mind, I'd like to propose the possible implementation of a userpage policy outlining what you can and can't put on your userpage and (even though I'm sure this is a rule already) something saying that one shouldn't edit another's userpage without good reason.

Obviously we can say that anything that can be seen as offensive or distasteful is forbidden otherwise free reign is allowed but the point of discussion comes at editing other's userpages, particularly with friends lists. I do have my own personal opinions about friends lists on userpages but to allow for some serious discussion I'll vocally withhold my thoughts for now.

What's everybody's thoughts, views and ideas on this? 12:58, March 24, 2013 (UTC)
