All in all, I believe these are simple- yet fair reasons to do something about Rule #7. Look at the list of rules, then look at Rule #7, its an outlier. Think about the causes and effects, then come with a vote. Thank you. |

| + | :I dont see any need to change it. The rule is a bit of our culture here, and the term "being a dick" is well defined both there and at the source. [[User:Agent c|Agent c]] ([[User talk:Agent c|talk]]) 20:22, July 18, 2014 (UTC) |

Thank you.
Chat Rule #7
Being a dick. As a guideline, don't go out of your way to irritate others. (And especially do not try to test the admin's and/or chat moderator's patience and/or limits.) Vicious abuse is grounds for sanctions.
Reasons
1. Unprofessional - "Dick" is basically 2 things, a name or profanity. In this case its profanity. I don't believe its a good way to represent Nukapedia by using "dick" as a rule or policy. It can be frowned upon by some.
2. Unclear - Some may not understand the rule. "Don't be a dick". What does that mean? If it means to not irritate others as the rule further explain, why not just use that instead of "Don't be a dick"? Being a dick can be a wide range as well. Is profanity being a dick, or ignoring, or....etc? In general, it doesn't have a clear definition.
3. Unnecessary - The chat rules are great without Rule #7, as all the other rules clearly explain what not to say or do. In my opinion its an extra unneeded charge in a case of an offense.
Possible Solutions
1. Removal of Chat Rule #7
2. Change of term of Chat Rule #7 (Not using "being a dick")
Closing
All in all, I believe these are simple- yet fair reasons to do something about Rule #7. Look at the list of rules, then look at Rule #7, its an outlier. Think about the causes and effects, then come with a vote. Thank you.
