Grants:IdeaLab/The Hatpin and Pearls Club
Project idea edit
What is the problem you're trying to solve? edit
Editors whose remarks are pinned to the "Board of Common Mashers" will be awarded their own "Masher," to be prominently displayed on their talk page, to commemorate their lack of taste.
What is your solution? edit
Once a "Commons Potato Masher" has been awarded, all future communications with the person receiving the commons masher must be handled through a civilized third party intermediary, preferably an administrator, of the lady's choice.
Members of the "Hatpin and Pearls Club" may display the image of their choice of a string of pearls on their user page, as a sign of the calibre and nature of communications in which they are willing to engage.
Aggrieved members of the "Hatpin and Pearls Club," on whose behalf a "Commons Potato Masher" has been awarded, may wish to display a hatpin on their user page as a sign that they are under administrator protection.
Goals edit
process and norm of admin watching, and intervening against uncivil interactions.
