I submit to people the following for guidelines on negative information:

==Events and Organizations Involving PCs==
===Negative Information===
While we do not discourage the posting of negative information about Player Characters, we do require that it be added 
in a mature and reasonable way. To this end, if a PC is involved in an organization or an event that is seen as negative, 
proof must accompany that information in the form of a reference, unless the information is added by the player of that 
character.
====Proof====
What constitutes proof may vary from case to case, but some suggestions may be links to forum posts by third parties, and 
references to in-game magazines, books, or other documentation. Logs may be submitted as proof, but only so long as there 
is no objection to whether they have been altered. Disagreement on ''interpretation'' of what logs mean is not sufficient 
to void their value as proof.<br />
Posts from the play.net forum should be copied to <pagename>/Posts (using [[Template:Post]]) to retain them for posterity, 
as should any post from other forums that requires a user name to view.

Apparently I need to be more clear when speaking to people who aren't the voices in my head. Go figure. Basically what this is about is under what conditions can a group claim something, and individual(s) claim that it is false. This is not about opinions, or feelings, or dislikes, but about under what conditions should be allow posting of negatory (is that better than negative?) modifications? -Moderator Caraamon Strugr-Makdasi(talk) 02:08, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
