Guild talk:Endless Night (historical)

Members Section

Hey I deleted the members section. See here, Where it states Guild pages, which include their talk pages, shall not be used as a chat forum, recruitment board or guild roster. --File:Image-User Hanks Gotcha sig.png Big Hank (talk · contributions) 18:37, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Understood... considering to delete the guild page. Not much point for a PvE guild. And based on reading all the rules here... looks like it would have been tagged to be deleted soon after anyways because I don't EDIT it each month since we are a PvE guild. Why would any guild need to edit the page so often?Chik En 19:18, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

There is a change proposed to the guild pages policy currently, that says 6 months is the rule and wiki contributors also have to try to contact the guild before it gets deleted, to see if it's still active. So I think you can wait with that deletion, the policy might be easing up very soon :) - anja 19:35, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

I have removed the sections that are not allowed to conform with the rules in the literal understanding. Which is, no guild roster (this does not say leaders or officers are allowed as they are part of the roster), I have also removed the recruitment section also because again the rules say to not use for a recruitment board.

It took me 2 mins to find 4 other guilds that do not follow your rule.... Guild:Circle_Of_Polish_Bards Guild:Clan_Dos_Tugas Guild:Celtic_Wild_Hunt Guild:Dunkoro_Died_Of_Old I could keep looking but I am getting more bored of this wiki :) Chik En 20:14, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

That simply means no one has pointed out their violation to them yet, not that it's okay to do. (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 20:44, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

I realized that it is not ok. I just pointing out that there are others that think this a very natural and wanted content for a guild page. That posting your guild roster should be reconsidered with better guidelines or rules. That a Guild Roster Page might be a good Page to Create That would allow a guild to add member names but put rules such as no more then updated once a week or every two weeks. Just some thoughts. I realize that having possibly large amounts of text on certain pages is not wanted and constant edits are also unwanted. But if you ask me there does seem to be a desire for it.Chik En 21:16, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm sure that there are many things that are desired, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a good thing to include them. Guilds are welcome to link to their own sites for more extensive functionality, but the limits set on guild pages did have reasoning behind them. :) (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 21:18, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Ah well I think I am just to old for this stuff. I have been programming for over 20 years. I am use to policy and procedures and making them. I am also use to speaking up when I consider something was pushed together fast to stop the wave of problems that could have occured. But that it was not clearly put in place. Often first drafts that are meant to only be a band-aid tend to stay for very long periods of time. This happens with code and with policy. Someone only wanted to use that fix for a short period of time... but it works so well so lets not change it. Even though it was poorly created. But later when you really need to fix it. So many other things break because they are all tied to it. So it is better to just leave it.Chik En 21:41, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
