Wikipedia has a functioning appeals process in the form of RfCs, third opinions, and other dispute resolution processes (listed at [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution]]). American police officers don't have that.
- merely-unlikely 2y agoWhat about the courts?
- bawolff 2y agoAre you suggesting online communities should resolve disputes through lawsuits? That sounds terrible to me. Imagine if on hacker news, if your comment broke a rule, that instead of dang deleting it, you got sued! I don't think that would make a good community.
- Aloisius 2y agoI think they're suggesting that court is the American police officer dispute resolution process - in response to the "American police officers don't have that" bit.
- Timwi 2y agoIf by “functioning” you mean that a dispute is only considered resolved if it goes the way of the established status quo, I suppose you're right, but that's a weird definition of “functioning”.
