OK, I'll wait for Travid's input and work on a chat policy first. Do you mean one of us should write a draft (for each policy), then all of us suggest changes until we're satisfied? It would make sense to do a vote once we have a final version.

There are a lot of different parts of the wiki that might need different policies, so let's just go over them for clarity.

Images: Sounds like Travid already has something put together, I'm ready to look at it whenever it's posted.

Articles: Aside from some very old guidelines (written by Rgis, I believe), we don't really have an established format for articles besides "follow what's already here". Should we create an official page for this?

Article comments: What we've discussed above.

Forum threads: One of the things I'll include is a guideline for how old a thread can be before it's closed, and a requirement for comments to be on topic (when applicable).

Chat: There aren’t really any rules specific to chat outside of general wiki rules and common sense. I suppose it could reiterate things like “no spamming” and “don’t ping people too often”. More importantly, we can establish firm guidelines for what constitutes a kick/ban etc., and how people should appeal one. I’m a fairly lenient moderator, so you can let me know whether my moderation guidelines are reasonable or should be stricter.

Blogs: People hardly use these, so it may not need an official policy.

Message walls: Common sense.
