Line 7: # Eventually a consensus will form. If that consensus supports your proposed change, the moderation staff will make the change to the rules. === Some hints for the potential rule-changer:= == * It helps immensely if you are an established editor with a history on the site. While we won't dismiss a newbie out of hand, having "street cred" will get more (and more serious) attention paid to your suggestion. * Be polite (or at least calm), even if — ''especially'' if — the discussion isn't going your way. Getting snarky or insulting because you're not finding the support you want is not going to win you points with ''anyone''. ~~For an example how ''not'' to try to get a policy changed, see [[Topic:Vnpmfc6vpn4n2toz\|this thread]] on the talk page for [[Magnificent Bastard]].~~ {{reflist}} [[Category:{{BASEPAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Administrivia]]
