Forum:What should the forums be for?

Forums: Village pump → What should the forums be for?

It seems that different people have different ideas of what these forums should be used for. Since I have an inclusionist philosophy, I think that if the topic is WoWWiki or Warcraft related, as long as it isn't directly violating our other policies, it should be okay. Others don't like certain types of topics for reasons, I personally can't understand, but maybe it can be explained to me. I may post a poll here, if I can think of a good set of choices. --Beware the sneaky smile! Fandyllic (talk · contr) 5:05 PM PST 27 Oct 2009

This continues from Forum:New Feral Druid form? (Ideas...). Forum:Forums too forumy was a discussion about if the WoWWiki forums should work like other forums. I do not think any forums have been unjustly deleted before.--SWM2448 22:04, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

From my reading of Forum:Forums too forumy, no specific exclusions were laid out. Kirkburn just made some general statements of intent that got into WoWWiki:What WoWWiki is not (although I'm re-thinking my stance about not reverting some of the changes). Unfortunately WoWWiki:What WoWWiki is not appears to speak for the community, when it is really mostly the viewpoint of a particular user and just that most of us don't disagree with most of what is said.

From looking at the deletion logs not many forum posts have been deleted, but a couple appear to be deleted for strange or inexplicable reasons. Since there is no forum policy, I suspect WW:DNP would get trotted out as the excuse, but that policy has been stretched by alot of admins. --Beware the sneaky smile! Fandyllic (talk · contr) 11:37 PM PST 27 Oct 2009

When I wrote What WoWWiki is not, I tried to take statements from policies, guidelines, and statements made around the wiki. I did not just write down my viewpoint. What parts of it do you disagree with? Also, what were the strange or inexplicable reasons the forums got deleted for?--SWM2448 00:09, October 28, 2009 (UTC)
