User blog:VileMaster/The Usercane Problem.

Hello. We need to talk about usercanes.

I think we've been ignoring this for too long. As cool as I think the Usercane concept is, it's impacting the way new users are acting here. I will be listing the issues below, but here is a generalization: Usercanes are making people hungry for rights and impatient. And I think we should do something about it. Here's what is happening.


 * Users are editfarming so they can be declared


 * Constantly asking when the new advisories will come out


 * Asking for promotions despite clearly being not prepared or concerned about the wiki


 * Asking for upgrades in chat, disrupting the normal conversation

This problem is becoming more and more serious, and I think it's time we do something about it. What do you think we should do?
