Punishment through web of trust

[edit]

This is collective punishment, but as a working solution it depends on web of trust, it won't scale as people will withdraw. Not only will they withdraw from the offending user but also other users they are suspicious about. You can form guilds to do something that otherwise needs higher karma, and you can dissolve a guild if they do something wrong, but you should not propagate a fine on karma (or any other kind of punishment) to wrong member of a guild. That would make users reject the idea of joining guilds. — Jeblad 21:58, 7 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Grants to improve your project

[edit]

Greetings! The Project Grants program is currently accepting proposals for funding. The deadline for draft submissions is tommorrow. If you have ideas for software, offline outreach, research, online community organizing, or other projects that enhance the work of Wikimedia volunteers, start your proposal today! Please encourage others who have great ideas to apply as well. Support is available if you want help turning your idea into a grant request.

The next open call for Project Grants will be in October 2016. You can also consider applying for a Rapid Grant, if your project does not require a large amount of funding, as applications can be submitted anytime. Feel free to ping me if you need help getting your proposal started. Thanks, I JethroBT (WMF) 22:49, 1 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
