Goals Goats

RationalWiki is possibly the best website ever made by man God himself. Anyone who reads this page should probably donate money to RationalWiki. We mean that. Because believe it or not, our goal is to engage in destructive criticism and cyber bullying help RationalWiki. By observing RationalWikians' behavior in their natural habitat, we aim to:
Identify groupthink
Many of the good folks at RationalWiki share a similar world-view, and many of the more established users also share a common heritage following their experiences at CP. This can lead them to close ranks without really thinking of the consequences. An example of this would be the Fuck You Too Incident.
Identify sysop abuse
Sysops on RationalWiki were originally intended to (a) be given minimal control over site matters, and (b) sysops are janitors, not administrators. The reality is turning out to be somewhat different, however. Sysops do have power --- the power to block other users. By identifying the use of malicious blocks, RationalWikiWiki seeks to keep that power in check.
Observe conflict resolution procedures
RationalWiki doesn't really have a conflict resolution procedure --- they have to use Headless Chicken Mode to sort things out. We help them by offering an outside view of the infighting.

Policies
|
For complaints about RationalWikiWiki, please go to RationalWikiWiki:Cubicle.
RationalWiki users
You may find an article about yourself here. It is highly unlikely that the article will be completely (or even slightly) complimentary. If you edit your own article to show yourself in a better light then you are officially a really sad person; you may get blocked and the article may be locked. You are, however, encouraged to whinge pathetically about it on the talk page, because:
Block & lock policies
- In the case of edit warring, sysops may not block the offending users. They may only lock the page warred over, not ban the offending editors. The lock may last for no longer than 2 days.
- Blocks may only be applied to spammers, pagemove, and pageblank vandals. Blocks may last no longer than 3 hours.
Please read the full version of these policies, RationalWikiWiki:Block policy and RationalWikiWiki:Lock policy.
Disclaimer
RationalWikiWiki is in no way officially endorsed, supported, or, recommended by RationalWiki. Any complaints with this website should be taken up with the main admins of this site -- Admin and Hans Johnson -- rather than at RationalWiki. Human of RationalWiki fame also edits here, but please address RationalWikiWiki-related issues only on his talk page here, and not on RationalWiki.
