User:Guerillero/Bobrayner's Law

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bobrayner's Law states that:


In plain english, bringing a banned editor back into the community is a bad decision when their potential contribution to the project (modified by the chance of them reforming their ways) is less than the amount of time need to supervise them. is assumed to be fairly close to zero.

Example

[edit]

User:Example has been banned from Eastern Europe for the past year and is currently appealing their topic ban. They have strong opinions about the topic area and can not offer a list of potential ways they can improve the topic area. They have never broken their topic ban. Allowing them back into the area is a poor decision because the encyclopedia will gain very little by letting them back into the area and a relaxation of their topic ban would require many editors to spend time watching their edits.
