Is it a violation for users to have extremely less mainspace edits than userspace edits in a conisiberably large amount of time? [[user:PikminBrawler|Pikmin]] [[user talk:PikminBrawler|Brawler]] [[file:OlimarHeadSSBB.png|20px]] ''Go Steve the Pikmin!'' 20:06, 22 August 2011 (EDT)

:Technically no, but it is rather discouraged to spend all your time in userspace, and extreme cases may cause said user's userspace to be locked until they contribute to the mainspace.

Generally, I hand out the protections when a user shows next to no effort at contributing to the Wiki outside their userspace and the Smash Arena. It is possible for a user to be productive to the Wiki and have a low mainspace edit count, whether it is through high quality edits like Dodo pointed out, or through contributions to other areas such as taking a constructive part in talk page discussions. With that said, StoneSteal has not done those, and as such, will be warned.
 
Also Mr. Anon, while Zeldasmash got blocked for excessive userspace editing, Doc King didn't get in trouble for userspace editing, but for being a disruptive user that frequently violated policies. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 03:44, 23 August 2011 (EDT)
