I propose a new rule to counter all of this blogging: For every blog comment or blog creation a user does, said user shall make 5 edits to the mainspace. This would help the mainspace with all of this blogging, and if user decide to get lazy, slow down blogging. Your input would be appreciated. Maj.Gage Talk. 18:41, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram voting oppose Oppose — I think this is a bad idea. We would be forcing users to do something, which we shouldn't in my opinion. Also, I'm sure that this rule would be broken a lot. Cpl. Dunn(Talk) 18:45, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram voting oppose Oppose — I think it would just encourage smaller, less important edits - 18:46, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram voting oppose Oppose — Then I would have to do about 5,000 mainspace edits in what, before I get blocked, like one week?W567123daniel 19:30, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram voting oppose Oppose — Per all above. Shotrocket6 19:52, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram voting oppose Oppose — Who are we to tell users what to do on the wiki? Also, is blogging really that much of a problem? Is there a valid reason behind this topic?LITE992 20:56, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram voting oppose Oppose — I don't find that to be a fair or just amendment, that's just like saying "For every piece of candy you eat, you must eat five servings of vegetables. Otherwise, no Happy Meal." Lieutenant General Emblem MW2SkullRodFrostyTalk?01:00, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram voting oppose Oppose — Terrible idea. I hate it. I would quit the Wiki altogether if something like this EVER gets passed, and I am sure a lot of other people would, too. TheManOfIron 01:04, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram voting oppose Oppose — Though I'm not a huge fan of blogs, this isn't the way to fix the problem. This borders on dictatorship and I'm certain would piss off a load of users for all the wrong reasons. Secondly, if this did pass, how on earth would it be enforced? You can't ban or block users for not contributing to the mainspace. Chief z 02:31, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram voting oppose Oppose — Nah,cant force editing. Menu mp weapons ak74uRampantlion513 Wanna Talk?? Edits

Pictogram voting oppose Oppose — Oh, god, Gage, what were you thinking. You can't just force this crap on people. @TheManOfIron: 'Been thinking the same thing since I saw all these "Censor people like dicks Restrict blogging" topics popped up. What is this, an autocracy? --  Ari "Akyoyo" MacIsaac · Talk  04:08, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram voting comment Comment — Honestly, I'm not all for the idea myself. I just thought of the idea when my Internet went down last night. Trust me, I'm not a supporter for The Call of Duty Wiki, Dictator Version. I just thought of it as a wasy to slow down the blgging and increase edits. Plz don't flame me, flame the idea.

Pictogram voting oppose Oppose — Editing is unfortunately not compulsory when someone makes a wiki account. It sucks, but that's the case.  FANMADE_Animated_Derpy_Hooves_desktop_ponies_sprite.gif Sig1.png Sig2.png  10:11, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram voting comment Comment — I think the outcome of this vote is obvious. I propose an admin end this vote. It is almost unanimous. TheManOfIron

Pictogram voting oppose Oppose — per Ukimies, that would not work at all, besides, who is gonna monitor who edits what?Personal WHISKEY35 signature Talk 10:22, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram voting oppose Oppose — No one is forced to edit the mainspace nor comment or create blogs. It really is meant to stay that way, and besides, the point is well made that a policy such as this truly is impossible to enforce.

Pictogram voting comment Comment — @TMOI, what a rude thing to say to Gage. And by all means, don't comment on stupid things. DevilWarrior112 12:16, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

I don't see how that is being rude. All he did was propose that this forum be closed. <choose><option>azuris_</option><option>22px-1888721.png Azuristalk</option> 12:58, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram voting oppose Oppose — This would never work. EVER. Even if we got Chuck Norris to enforce it, it wouldn't work. SactageTalkEditcountContribs 12:21, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram voting oppose Oppose — Per everyone. Sgt. S.S. 12:30, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram voting oppose Oppose — I'm actually shocked at this proposal, considering the trend in the War on Blogs is to not ban or restrict them for the most part. As others have said above, you cannot force anyone to edit, and there is absolutely no sense in requiring users to edit mainspace. Look at the situation now: there's barely any mainspace content to edit other than routine maintenance and vandalism patrol. There's barely enough mainspace content for two bloggers to edit through, let alone the entire blogging sector of the wiki. This is a ridiculous and senseless idea that has no rationale, justification or reason that again overrates the value of mainspace edits. --Scottie theNerd 05:07, July 24, 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram voting comment Comment — Geez, Scottie, you don't sugarcoat things, do you? :D Sgt. S.S. 20:34, July 24, 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram voting oppose Oppose — Per Scottie theNerd Rambo362 02:42, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram voting oppose Oppose — 1) Blogs are part of Wikia. 2) Users will spam in mainspace to get edits for blogging or edit boost. 3) Edit mainspace or not - it's user's opinion. >SiPlus -talk -contributions_ 10:48, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

Closed - Didn't pass. Darkman 4 22:09, August 30, 2010 (UTC)
