Ban proposals about banning and un-banning users
So currently, this wiki has several different rules regarding proposal content that will be allowed. Many rules make sense like with how Users can delete their own proposals and how proposals cannot be made about promotions and demotions (which is basically similar to this proposal in many ways but unlike promotions and demotions regarding admin ranks, no such rule exists regarding the ban ranks). These rules make sense but one rule I (and probably a bunch of other users) feel necessary is a rule against proposals that try to ban and unban users. No such rule seems to exist for some reason, and I have created this proposal because I feel that needs to be changed.

Proposer: Deadline: December 30, 2015, 23:59 UTC

Support (enact a ban on proposals regarding banning and unbanning other users)

 * 1) per proposal

Oppose (continue to allow proposals regarding banning and unbanning other users)

 * 1) – At some point, we need to trust that the community has common sense. If anything, the rules section should be trimmed down and simplified, not complicated even further by spelling out more specific cases. Administrators are easily able to veto proposals that recommend banning other people as per Rule # 13, rendering this proposal unnecessary.
 * 2) – Per SMB, and Tucayo and Pi in the comments.
 * 3) Per all, including Tucayo and RandomYoshi in the comments.
 * 4) It's not like it's allowed in the first place

Comments
Well, it's not as if we actively "allow" these proposals, as your Oppose header says. If one were to appear it would be deleted, it's not quite necessary to spell out every single thing that can't be done. Rule #13 would allow us to remove said proposals. And Don't Shoot Your Foot Off. --

I'm also not seeing the point in this proposal at all. Doing this isn't acceptable already as per rule 13 as Tucayo stated above. Allowing the general public to determine who should and should not be blocked also infringes on the Courtesy Policy, namely the don't tell admins what to do point. In short, it's already covered, and your proposal has no value. 15:00, 23 December 2015 (EST)
