This page has been closed down by community consensus, and is retained only for historical reference.
If you wish to restart discussion on the status of this page, seek community input at a forum such as the village pump.
The RFC/U process has been discontinued as a result of this discussion.
Other dispute resolution processes should be used for conduct issues.
Prior to a discussion at the Village Pump that was closed in December 2014, requests for comment on user conduct (RfC/Us) were used to discuss the problematic behaviour of specific Misplaced Pages editors, as part of the dispute resolution process. RfC/Us were an informal, non-binding process. According to the discussion's closing statement, many editors found the RfC/U process ineffectual. As a result, it was closed down on 7 December 2014. Old RfC/Us can be found in Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/User conduct/Archive.
