Talk:Guidelines

Please improve this

I think this is a pretty good starting point and should help people know where to aim. I'm wodering if it's really necessary to bar non-cappers from editing here. I can think of a few cases where a non-capper might make useful contribs (A longtime lurker might remember some detail on a thread, a real world friend of a capper might have some legit info to add, an obsessive proof reader might wander in here from a search engine and correct our spelling/grammar) and none where they'd come in and make unwanted changes that didn't violate some other rule. Perhaps just require registration for edits?

I don't have a problem with friends of cappers or even lurkers of capping come in and edit the wiki. What I don't want are people who don't have anything to do with capping coming in and making changes. I have no doubt that that is going to happen. People surfing in off of a Google search, that sort of thing. I would like to curtail that (casual surfers editing the wiki) as much as possible. This place is for cappers, by cappers. And I think we can police our own grammar and spelling. Believe me, I'm extremely anal about it and you don't know how hard it is for me not to go up to your comments and change 'wodering' to 'wondering'. When it comes to info in the wiki, I'll make sure we're up to code.

If you or anyone else doesn't agree with me, that's totally cool. I'm open to discussion about it or anything else. It's all on the table. I'm determined that this place will be run as a community. Just shy of mob rules. ;)
