Links- That's a good question. I would say no, they shouldn't be prohibited outright. If other Wikis are linked to due to the fact that they possess info on their site that we don't, then such a link would be acceptable. If the link is to content that is on this site, then the link should be replaced with a link to our own pages. I don't see a need to have repercussions behind that though.

Editing- Forgot to throw that part in. Yes, editing of another user's profile is prohibited without the consent of the user. For example, I've edited multiple users' profiles due to issues they've had with Userboxes or messed up code.

Policies + Guidelines- Yeah, I see what you mean. Perhaps just leave it at "All policies should be followed by users of the Wiki. If you have an issue with a policy in place, please don't hesitate to bring it to the attention of the community."

As for a section on a "punishment system" I am very against the idea of such a thing, though I can see the use of it. The reason I'm against it is simply because I believe all blocks should be handled on a case-by-case basis, since some offenses will be more severe than other offenses. So a person who has a bad day and curses someone out will just have a short "cooldown" period, maybe a 3 day block, while someone who is constantly cursing people out and showing a negative demeanor would receive a much longer block, maybe 2 weeks to a month. But with a "punishment system" both of them would have to receive the same punishment, which I feel isn't right.
