::I am not sure 'which questions' you mean. I would certainly agree that transparency is of utmost importance and thus I have always supported public logging of IRC discussions (which I think is part of the issue you are rising). However from my personal experience and looking at reasons why users I respect have limited or stopped contributing to Wiki, it is not because they were afraid or wronged by some (IRC or not) 'cabal', but because the level of incivility and trolling on Misplaced Pages is rising, and our ways of dealing with it is far from streamlined.

::: Indeed, I almost stopped contributing to Misplaced Pages after your repeated unblocks of the arch-troll Molobo.

A procedural question here. --Ghirla 14:38, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

I think your question would be more visible and easier to understand if you asked it directly in the talk page. Myself, I've had problems understanding what you were asking about. --Lysy 16:21, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
I am told that such questions are not discussed on-wiki these days. Actually, I got the impression that no really serious issue would be discussed on-wiki these days. The fear of openness has drained the project of all meaningful discussion. Does it spell the writing on the wall for English Misplaced Pages? --Ghirla 15:37, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
I am not sure 'which questions' you mean. I would certainly agree that transparency is of utmost importance and thus I have always supported public logging of IRC discussions (which I think is part of the issue you are rising). However from my personal experience and looking at reasons why users I respect have limited or stopped contributing to Wiki, it is not because they were afraid or wronged by some (IRC or not) 'cabal', but because the level of incivility and trolling on Misplaced Pages is rising, and our ways of dealing with it is far from streamlined. I would be more afraid of Wiki turning into Usenet flame party then of it being taken over by any cabal.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  17:21, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
