Requests for Comment/Meta bans RfC

While there is currently a global bans RfC it may very well be that a situation would arise where a user doesn't meet the criteria for a global ban but has nonetheless done things on Meta that the community thinks deserve a local Meta community ban. In order to avoid having to re-vote on the same exact proposals as in the global RfC, I'm proposing that we have the starting point which is that everything from the global RfC applies and then we have specific proposals to make it more appropriate for Meta (since obviously things like blocks on other wikis aren't relevant to Meta).

Proposal 1
Successful conditions from the global bans RfC apply to Meta community bans as well, with modifications in proposals below. Reference to global groups and terms ('Stewards', 'global') will be converted to local references ('bureaucrats', 'local').

Support

 * 1)  This works. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contribs • global • rights) 01:47, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
 * 2)  No issues with this, a formal community ban RfC is needed anyway in the case of any future community ban from Meta.  Agent Isai  Talk to me! 03:56, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Proposal 2 (Criteria)

 * In order for a Meta community ban to be requested the user must exhibit conduct issues and remediation attempts to address such conduct have failed.

Support

 * 1)  This wording is essentially the same as with the global bans RfC so I see no issue.  Agent Isai  Talk to me! 03:56, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Comments

 * 1)  There’s no numerical way to judge this criteria. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contribs • global • rights) 01:41, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Proposal 3 (Accounts)

 * In order to file a request for a global ban, the nominator must have:


 * A Meta account which is at least 3 months old
 * At least 250 Meta edits. These edits may not consist of directly copy/pasting content from other wikis, they must be edits done by the user.

Support

 * 1)  Good way to prevent frivolous global ban RfCs.  Agent Isai  Talk to me! 03:56, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Abstain

 * 1)  as I really don’t see the need for this but can’t oppose it. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contribs • global • rights) 01:44, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Proposal 4 (Quorum)

 * A Meta community ban request must have had ten (10) users, meeting the requirements of Requests for Comment Policy, express a view (in favour, opposed, or neutral).

Support

 * 1) . Would even consider upping this to 20 users. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contribs • global • rights) 01:43, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
 * 2)  No issues with this. Community bans should, like global bans, be a measure of last resort and should reflect broad community consensus.  Agent Isai  Talk to me! 03:56, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Proposal 5 (Applicability to Discord)
Meta bans do not currently apply to Discord automatically and are decided on a case-by-case basis by local moderators.
 * Meta community bans will automatically apply to Discord.

Oppose

 * 1)  Discord is a global Miraheze platform, and is not exclusive to Meta. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contribs • global • rights) 01:42, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
