Build Masters are chosen by the community because of their knowledge and experience of the game, and they are vested with the authority to maintain the quality of the content on the wiki. However, there are times when a user may disagree with a Build Master's decision. To prevent fruitless argument between users and Build Masters, this addendum provides a formal procedure for dispute resolutions through mediation.
Conditions
A user may disagree with a vote struck by a Build Master or Administrator. In this scenario, the user may appeal the decision on the Admin noticeboard. Users are encouraged to discuss disagreements on the build's talk page with other users or Build Masters before filing an appeal. However, an appeal may be summarily overruled for the following reasons:
- The vote makes false claims regarding the build's capabilities (e.g. stating that the build lacks IAS or a cancel stance, when it does in fact have one).
- The vote clearly misjudges a build's effectiveness (e.g. claiming that a BA Ranger has no pressure).
- The appeal is done purely to insult, antagonise or provoke another user, Build Master or Admin. (See: PvX:NPA)
- The user has a history of making poor appeals that violate the above.
An appeal should therefore only be reserved for disputes in which neither side can reach an agreement, requiring a third opinion from another Build Master.
Procedure
To file an appeal, users must do the following:
- Visit PvXWiki:Admin noticeboard#Build-Specific Issues and create a new sub-section with the build template (e.g. ==={{Build|R/Mo Burning Arrow Ranger}}===)
- Provide a summary of the dispute and request mediation.
- Sign your appeal with --~~~~
A Build Master will then review the dispute and decide on the appropriate course of action. The reviewing Build Master will investigate ongoing discussions before reaching this decision. It is important that discussions have been made prior to filing an appeal -- the appeal process should be the last thing you go through in the even of a dispute. If there has been no preliminary discussion, the reviewing Build Master will make an executive decision.
The decision from the appeal is final: the user may not appeal this action. Users failing to adhere to the decision may be blocked by an Administrator.
