Wikiversity talk:No legal threats

The initial proposal text here was copied from No legal threats. It will likely need to be modified to meet our local circumstances. Note: the Special:Block interface at Wikiversity has a pull down menu containing "Cross-wiki legal threats" as a standard block reason. It is common on Wikimedia sites to treat threats of legal action as inappropriate but perhaps needs to be clarified at Wikiversity. --mikeu talk 02:28, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Just to be clear. If you have created this proposal in response to my concern over duressive personal attacks allowed, e.g., by Sci-fi-, I have issued no legal threats or engaged in "wikilawyering", but I am obliged to bring attention to and inform which I have done. Incivility in the form of personal attacks is a serious concern to me because an injunction for such potentially libelous behavior, when allowed here, could result in serious harm and interruption of my research here. I am happy to help WMF-Legal to prevent such injunctions from occurring regarding Wikiversity, as their authored disclaimer may be considered insufficient. The problem I see with this proposal is its enforcement. If we have one or more custodians who block per issued personal attacks after say some number of warnings should we ask for community consensus first before the block or for removal of the block or both? Sci-fi- turned out to be an illegal sock puppet and was appropriately blocked once the personal attacks were discovered. Then, the block was removed per bureaucrat request but arguably not per block appeal, based instead on timing of less than 24 h since last user contribution. The argument of involvement becomes spacious when others do not respond who have noticed the attacks but perhaps have let them slide for unknown reasons. All involved except Sci-fi-, including the admin from Wikipedia who came over here per canvassing, are by consensus approval there or here. This matter of personal attacks therefore cannot be properly addressed by this proposal or community consensus. As such I must decline approval. --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 19:28, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
