 | The following is a proposed Misplaced Pages policy, guideline, or process. The proposal may still be in development, under discussion, or in the process of gathering consensus for adoption. |
So we can build a better encylopedia without capricious interference, we should know what rules apply.
- A rule of law is created by Misplaced Pages policies, Arbitration policy and Arbitration precedents.
- The rules should be written down so users can know what to expect.
- No ex post facto laws.
- A rule can not be used until after the rule is created.
- Arbitration Committee members should follow policy and precedent rather than altering it.
- The Committee should follow the rules and not create new ones. New rules only apply after they are made official.
- Arbitration Committee members and Administrators will support and enforce policy, precedent, and rulings equally for all users and those involved in cases.
- All users are equally protected and affected by rules. No favoritism.
- All Administrators must enforce Arbitration Committee rulings.
- Administrators are added to list of those on whom Arbitration rulings are binding.
- Users will be notified of the specific reasons for arbitration or other actions.
- To protect users from arbitrary actions and so a proper arbitration can take place.
- Regulations apply to all Misplaced Pages users including those with special authorizations.
- Rules apply to everyone.
