User blog:FourSevensRueful/Broad Question: Should The Amount of Policies Added by Individual Communities be Proportional to Other Factors?

Hello people and readers. I am an admin from a few Prodigy Game-related communities and I have a small survey to ask. This is not neccesarily a question I'd ask on the forums (I know you're probably already typing). I want to see the opinions of a few other seasoned users that are admins of other communities as well.

I wanted to see what you think of this probably-not-true statement: The amount of policies that admins of a community posts are suggested to be related to other factors, like experiences with rulebreakers, annoyances like message-wall necroposting, etc.

I have had several "newer" users on my Prodigy Game-related wikis complain directly to me instead of the bureaucrat and other admins that I'm the real "tyrant." I have one of my communities with several hundreds of articles, lots of experience with vandals and spammers arrive on my main community almost every day, and lots of annoying, frowned-upon actions taken by others that I now ban as a lot of rules. It seems like they are either going unnoticed even though many of my system messages and other links are to the policy pages, or the users would just go ahead and type article comments to my policy pages saying, "Who are you, FourSevensRiolu, to impose these rules on us. I think they're mostly unfair and that they take a long time to read, almost as long as many different terms of services I've seen! . I'm going to start to hate you if you don't change them or consider anything I've posted."

Well, I don't really mind all of the threats I get a lot such as the last sentence of this composed post. Cyberbullying is common even though I'm able to warn/ban/block others that do so. I get hated on, but I honestly don't care. However, I do have a plea to ask to all of you:

1) Are you a staff member of at least one non-community-central wiki? How many staff members on these communities do you have and what are the names of the communities?

2) If you are at least an admin of one wiki, you many communities have you founded, became a bureaucrat of, or taken a SYSOP role to?

3) Do you get cyberbullied at all? Can you recall at least one time you have been on FANDOM only?

4) Do you think that you were ever blamed on being on a community with too many new policies besides the FANDOM-wide terms?

5) Do you think that it is suggested to have extra policies on a wiki that are proportional to: page count?

6) Do you think that it is suggested to have extra policies on a wiki that are proportional to: staff member count?

7) Do you think that it is suggested to have extra policies on a wiki that are proportional to: active user count?

8) Do you think that it is suggested to have extra policies on a wiki that are proportional to: the bad/irritating experiences vandals/spammers had on the community(ies)?

I would appreciate what you think.

I also kind-of based this survey off of the past/present conditions of Prodigy Math Game Wiki. I appreciate anyone checking it out if they are already introduced to this fandom or have wanted to use its content to play the actual game in the future. Thank you for your time.
