Hi!

I've talked about this earlier, but didn't expand the subject.

I think that for the sake of efficiency, and even for the very principle of community, we should instate rules about the responsiveness of the users. I've saw admins state it was a mandatory thing but I haven't found it in the rules, and I feel that all users deserves the same respect as they all intend to serve the purpose of the wikia.

What I acknowledge:
 * All users can't always answer in the week, or even in the month, and that's normal.
 * The admins aren't meant to be policemen on the wikia, constantly chasing editors who don't comply. But they kind of are at last on occasions.
 * There are users spammers or trolls. Of course ignoring trolls isn't worth a ban, at the contrary.

What I've an harder time to acknowledge:
 * People not seeing they have new messages (I admit there is sometimes bugs making them not appears). Is there some of you admins who have screens configuration who somehow make the message' "alarm" less visible ?

What I can see in the end:
 * Some users simply ignore their peers. This way:
 * They don't change the problem they can be asked to
 * They sometimes never get banned, because they don't raise their voices
 * Those users can have countless warnings, but are simply forgotten given the fact they don't answer.
 * Those users can be pretty active, but just unresponsive to messages.

What I propose would be simply to formally add to the rules (I will have to find back the link) that the common courtesy and respect of responding to the peers and admins

The block has two objectives:
 * Alert a user who would, in good faith, ignore that he has messages to check. He's blocked => he try to know why, he checks his block message, there is a conversation, the block is lifted
 * For others (and "allegedly-in-good-faith-recidivists": to force them to cooperate with their peers, admins or not, and stop the possible vandalism they could be causing.

Any opinion, proposal ?
