User talk:Meco

Welcome to BoyWiki! We hope you will contribute much and well. You will probably want to read the help pages. Again, welcome and have fun! Etenne (talk) 12:13, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Thank you!! I'm excited :-) __meco (talk) 12:23, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

It is not a good idea to list you real name on your user page. I understand that you are open regarding your sexuality but it is just asking for trouble. --Etenne (talk) 12:54, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

I appreciate your advice, however, this is not something I would reconsider. __meco (talk) 14:09, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Glad to see you here. I too am on that short list of WMF-banned users, as Leucosticte. Lysander (talk) 03:04, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

A mark of honor, to be sure! I was banned on the Norwegian Wikipedia already in 2007 for not toeing the party line, although the accusations were completely trumped up. Then after more than 50,000 edits I got banned of en-Wiki in 2013 for allegedly being a self-admitted pedophile, and of course earlier this year from Commons and shortly thereafter project-wide in an irrational storm of hysteria with no substantial basis. Anyway, I get the impression that you are taking on the Wikimedia community. I don't bother about that. __meco (talk) 12:11, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

I don't really take them on. I just make it clear where I stand, and that their efforts to get rid of me will only work temporarily. Aside from that, I just do a lot of ban evasion, and I don't let it deter me when they catch me and delete or revert everything.

By the way, I proposed the creation of an RSOL wiki, and a Reform Sex Offender Laws leader tells me, "Nathan, if that wiki is your passion, then by all means go for it! Set it up, complete a few posts, and perhaps share a list of others you would like to write or invite others to write. I can take that to our Communications team (and possibly our Board) and get their input on whether it would be okay to brand as an RSOL enterprise. Even if it should stay on your own server, it could still be something we can link to from our site, though, and we could encourage folks to add to it should they be so inclined. Keep me posted on progress!" Would you be interested in participating in such a project, and if so, in what capacity? At the beginning, we're going to need a lot of content creation, but of course wikignoming is always helpful, and you could be a sysop as well.

What I have in mind is that this wiki could cover a lot of the law- and politics-related content that some people have complained has come to dominate BoyWiki and BoyChat too much. We do have to avoid explicitly advocating for repeal/reform of the age of consent on an RSOL wiki, but we can make a lot of the same arguments about adult-child sex not being harmful to children, as long as we put those arguments in the context of saying that the sentences don't need to be as harsh as they currently are. Note that RSOL doesn't go so far as to support the existence of an age of consent either; they're officially neutral on the subject, and I'd say they want to stay that way. They need to avoid advocating age of consent abolition in order to avoid getting viewed as the new NAMBLA; but on the other hand, I'm sure they have a lot of members (including me) who want the age of consent repealed. Some examples of articles that this wiki could have:

• List of incidents of vigilantism against sex offenders
• Minnesota Sex Offender Program
• Psychosexual evaluation
• Sex offender risk assessment
• Special sex offender sentencing alternative
• Static-99

These are all articles that got deleted from Wikipedia. Lysander (talk) 03:54, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
