Forum:Previously rejected proposals

A follow-up to the discussion on agenda item #5 of the recent CoDference.

Similar to what the RuneScape Wiki currently has in place, certain topics in their equivalent of the War Room are listed on a page that notes previously rejected proposals. An example of one of these topics is restricting unregistered users from editing in some form.

This listing is primarily designed to educate editors on proposals that have failed numerous times before, and why they have failed.

However, the additional function that this page serves is to prevent editors from reviving proposals without providing sufficient, and differing reasoning when juxtaposed to the previous renditions of the topic at hand. Re-raising the proposal can only be accomplished if the points made by the opposition in the past are completely addressed.

A topic can only be added to this listing if it meets both of the following criteria:
 * The proposal has been discussed and rejected multiple times (amount can be discussed here)
 * The opposition to the proposal was overwhelming

With that, I leave you to discuss enacting this listing of previously rejected proposals, and perhaps what might be included on it. 16:50, August 15, 2011 (UTC)
