User blog:Foxtrot12/New boosting policy suggestions.

Hello everbody, in response to Elite's "Competition" Blog I am writing this to offer new revision suggestions and to use this blog as a way to come up with a new policy reguarding achievement boosting and enforcing.

New Policy Suggestion

Achievement and Badge Boosting Enforcing Policy

(Be aware this is a draft)

With the integration of achievements and badges into Mass Effect Fanon. There has been a large influx of new users. Some who appear to be editing for the sole sake of badges. While badges are designed to offer extra incentive and reward hard working editors it is inpermissable to edit for the sole purpose of earning badges, a practice dubbed "Achievement Boosting" by the majority of the wiki community. Achievement boosting includes but is not limited to. Doing any of the above actions to gain or get closer to earning achievements is considered boosting and will be punished. That is all. Any comments or improvements?
 * 1) Adding minimal additions to pages and then quickly removing them to count for two edits. So as to gain a badge quicker. An example would be adding an extra period to the sentence. "Commander Shepard was a war hero who grew up an orphan on earth." intentionaly and then deleting it. While things like this and similar to this may happen accidently by a user mistakenly pressing the wrong key or pressing it twice continued edit "spamming" is considered an offense.
 * 2) Adding categories and then removing them quickly. Such as adding the "Turians" category to a fanon article about a human. While sometimes users may add categorys by mistake such as accidently clicking the "Battle Rifles" category instead of the "Battles" category. Large amounts of category adding for Achievements is an offense.
 * 3) Deleting images and then removing them or adding an image unintended for the page then removing it. This would be like adding a picture of an Asari to an infobox for a Commander Shepard article. Or removing an image of commander shepard only to add it again. Removing a picture to replace it with a newer version is not an offense.
 * 4) Posting spam comments on people's talk pages to get the achievement for posting a message is not acceptable.
 * 5) Creating spam blogs that have no purpose.
 * 6) Posting spam comments on blogs only to gain achievements.
 * 7) Creating spam pages with no content.
 * 1) First offense: Warning
 * 2) Second offense: One Day Block
 * 3) Third Offense: Five Day Block
 * 4) Fourth Offense: One Week Block
 * 5) Fifth Offense: Two Week Block
 * 6) Sixth Offense: One month block
 * 7) Seventh Offense: One year Block to Perma-Ban. Based on adminstrator's judgements.
