Forum:Discussion: Do we push new users away?

Hey all, it's been a while since I've really involved myself in the community, but something I've been hearing more and more of is the bad way we treat new users which has become ingrained in the wiki. I think we should discuss this to find ways we can solve this problem (if it exists) and move forward with some new ideas or new ways to warn and (not) block users who make mistakes.

Keep it civil though - the forum on the current state of chat got super hot at some point. Naming and shaming anyone is nonconstructive - no problem on this wiki is ever one person's or a specific group of people's fault. 05:42, November 12, 2014 (UTC)
