User:Hillgentleman/incivility

In the quest for knowledge, sharp questions and debates often make us consider matters more deeply and should be encouraged. In wikiversity, we had relied so far on the mature attitudes of wikiversitians for that model to work.

There is often a thin line between civility and incivility; different people speak in different ways and miscommunication of intentions occur very often. If someone's behaviour is on the edge of civility, the community often gives them the benefit of doubt.

Now here is a simple pay-off model, without community involvement: Pay-off for A                     A  civil              A  uncivil B civil              100                      70 B uncivil            10                       50
