UxieLover1994 Tiempo de morder de nuevo con el poder! El tema de hoy: su sorpresa! — 01:50, 18 April 2011 (EDT) Some of the victoms who get a warning are IPs who never return, while their victom who also got a warning is a regular editor who applies for the Heartless Manufactory. Many will never get cured, no matter how much they try to apply for the HM, because the other person never returns. Is this unfair? I, for example, suffered an IP bully yesterday, and signed up for the HM, but my apply was deleted, plus that person will never return, as assumed. I'm willing to get rid of this warning, but with these new rules, and my rival being a one-time-only guest, it's impossible. Is there another way to get rid of a warning for the active person without the need of the guest/inactive person? This is what this talk is about.

Hmm, maybe we should consider a "Solo" option in cases like this, when one of the offenders is unlikely to return or comply (that one would have to get the block). --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 02:04, 18 April 2011 (EDT)

It's a good idea, but Kryten needs to see this, as well. Kryten proposed this, and I think it's a good idea, but it's unfair for those who's rival will not be returning, y'know. UxieLover1994 02:08, 18 April 2011 (EDT)

I believe that Roxas wanted to go through with a ticket, too.

In this situation, I believe the best thing to do would be to modify the PAwarning template - offenders have one week to apply at the Heartless Manufactory, after which they are permanently blocked until they finish their docket. So, Oavatos and the IP would be blocked until they ask to do their docket. Roxas and Uxie can do their dockets together.

The question then is what to do if Oavatos and the IP come back and want to do their dockets. Should they work with each other, or should they do dockets with Roxas and Uxie?"We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 02:20, 18 April 2011 (EDT)

UxieLover1994 Nya? — UxieLover1994 02:26, 18 April 2011 (EDT) Work with Roxas! Great idea, Kryten! I would be happy to do it, y'know. Gracias, amigo! Still, there is a chance this can happen again, but this idea is good.

While it's not a bad idea right now, the problem is that we can't always wait for there to be two unpaired offenders, and mostly likely the offenders that care won't want to wait, especially since the longer a warning is left alone, the less likely people are to remember to handle it.

Additionally, the point of having the assignments being in pairs is so that the offenders are forced to work together, which has far less meaning if the two weren't attacking each other.

And finally, there's the issue of attacks that aren't one-against-one from the beginning. If one editor attacks another, but the recipient doesn't retaliate, do we still have them doing a docket together? The recipient won't even warrant a WarningPA, right? --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 02:32, 18 April 2011 (EDT)

Right, but they generally do occur in pairs.....hmm.

Obviously, having the two offenders work together is by far preferable. In the absence of consent from both parties, it seems that we should allow single-party dockets.

But again, what of the missing offender? If he comes back, do we have him do a single ticket? Wouldn't that allow people to just work on their own, instead of getting the lesson? Do we want to inflict a harsher punishment for deciding not to work with your assigned partner?"We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 04:20, 18 April 2011 (EDT)
