Template talk:Spam4im

message: === Request for edit ===
The language on this template is overly forceful, and is out of step with the tone of our other templates.  In particular the phrase "will not be tolerated" and the excessive use of bolding.  Compare these two:
:;Template:Spam4
:: This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link,   you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia.  
:;Template:Spam4im
:: This is the only warning you will receive. Your recent insertion of spam, commercial content, and/or links  will not be tolerated. The next time you insert commercial content and/or links into a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.  
Can this template be made less "wrath of god" like and more calm and professional, please.152.91.9.144 05:16, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Request for edit 

message: This page is protected "just in case" despite having never been vandalised. The Wikipedia:Requests for page protection area doesn't lend itself to real discussion, and my request for unprotection there was declined.  
* Neither Protection policy nor Semi-protection policy say this is acceptable.
* The High-risk templates guideline clearly doesn't apply to templates that should always use .  (Although the indef protection list clashes almost 100% with this.)
If we're going to have protection creep like this and extend prophylactic protection, we'd better first work it out on Meta and then update Protection policy.

thread_title:  Request for unprotection 

message: Please change "ip address" to "IP address". After looking at the misspelling for 2 days on many user talk pages I cannot stand it anymore. Flyingtoaster1337 16:46, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Hi, I've moved the documentation from this Talk page to the Template:Spam4im/doc subpage, as recommended in Wikipedia:Template doc page pattern. Please edit the template to:
 This is the only warning you will receive. Your recent insertion of spam, commercial content, and/or links  is prohibited under policy. Any further spamming may result in your account and/or your IP address being blocked from editing Wikipedia.
