Consumerium Research pilot: Difference between revisions
aren't actual destroyers of ecosystems, species, peoples, better targets than a trollherd, reputed or real? priorities, please
(some insights into this pilot arising from recent trolling by those apparently advancing Sysop Vandal point of view, e.g. of trollherds they blame for telling truth on Wikipedia and so on) |

Such a focused '''pilot''' that deliberately sought to gain both publicity and a meaningful test of how tough and sue-proof we can make our policies, would stress organizational issues central to [[Consumerium Governance Organization]]. We would identify the potential for being sued for [[diluting the trademark]], [[libel chill]], other more fatuous basis for [[lawsuit]]s and other potential problems. At the very least we'd learn to process a [[cease and desist letter]] and send a polite response threatening total [[troll war]] against companies that lie about [[Consumerium]], followed by [[suing for funding]]. | Such a focused '''pilot''' that deliberately sought to gain both publicity and a meaningful test of how tough and sue-proof we can make our policies, would stress organizational issues central to [[Consumerium Governance Organization]].

In such [[pilot]] projects, often the users are chosen specifically to be difficult to support, if the anticipated issue of deployment is the variety of users, i.e. [[trolls]] especially [[funded troll]]s, in [[Research Wiki]] and in [[Consumerium Governance Organization]], and [[sysop vandalism]] advocates. In September 2004, such advocates of the [[Sysop Vandal point of view]] seem to be republishing nonsense from that POV, e.g. the [[Craig Hubley]] article. In some cases they have also indicated an interested in learning about [[trolling]] and declared it "fun". This is all possibly a positive sign that at least some [[sysop vandal]]s can turn their hate towards companies or people that really deserve it, e.g. [[Gus Kouwenhoven]] rather than [[ | In such [[pilot]] projects, often the users are chosen specifically to be difficult to support, if the anticipated issue of deployment is the variety of users, i.e. [[trolls]] especially [[funded troll]]s, in [[Research Wiki]] and in [[Consumerium Governance Organization]], and [[sysop vandalism]] advocates.

To test the extent of these conflicts and the [[tit for tat]] tactics they engender, we need an actual [[Research Wiki]] up and running; One with real [[intermediate page]]s that [[Consumerium:We|we]] can fight about.
