Board Thread:News on Criminal Case Wiki/@comment-11738-20150814150029

When I took the helm of Bureaucrat one year ago, the purpose of the "Final Say" rule was to ensure nothing but original, confirmed content was to come to the Wiki. However, the rule has proven to be pointless and turned to be a red flag on the Wiki. Going forward, any registered Wikia user who has the boldest thing to say on an edit will have the final say. However, we do not tolerate edit wars with two parties. The reason why we originally have the final say rule was the aforementioned. It has came to my attention that some normal users might have something bolder to say from time to time, and because of such, I've opted to repeal the final say clause from the Rules, so the rules have changed. Some other rules have been repealed as well given community feedback.

If, however, we see an edit war between two parties, staff will compare various edits (at the latest "good" edit) provided that it's all within editing guidelines. The bolder you go in your edit, and the closer you are in our Editing Guidelines, the higher you have on your say in the article.

So to put it simple, if you are bold enough, you got the final say on the article. The only reason why the edit may be undone is because it might not satisfy editing guidelines, too wordy, or it might cause the user to say the same thing over and over again. Be bold on your edits and we'll give you praise.

So no more worrying about staff having the final say--whoever has the boldest say has the final say. Thank you for reading this message.
