Nice initiative with the page. However, people who read forum manuals and behavior guides are people who accept the idea that they might be in need of guidance. This successfully dodges just about every troll, spammer, etc out there.
I read it because I am aware that sometimes I think I make a mostly useful list and then re-read and realize I complain/rant. Sometimes I'm tired. Sometimes some dork is the lucky recipient of my 100th unuseful threads in a row award.
In a word, even though I try, I err. I rarely see trolls/spammers/dorks/whatever accept there's a problem there. Cried to mommy? I was right to complain. Inflammatory? I was misunderstood. Spam? Button broke. Miscellaneous mischievous behavior? Nobody told me. Mistake? I'm new. Corrected by others? I'm old enough.
These people are fine with themselves, self confident, consider themselves just fine if not above most, and have no need for wikis, manuals, guides or any such nonsense. Somehow these people think winner mentality makes a winner.
Reading requires patience, understanding, concentration and a minimum of intellectual capacity. It is my opinion that the problem and the solution are
disjunctive

I know I'm pessimistic, but in my opinion a thousand more wiki pages will not get you one more decibel
SNR
