To this date, 1RV is without a doubt the least followed and most problematic policy on the site, and for a good reason. The trouble is, even with the rather vague exceptions listed on this policy page, it is quite common for situations to arise in which following this policy is not necessarily the best course of action. This should never be the case with a good policy, and it is because of this that '''I propose that this policy be demoted to a guideline''', similarly to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Revert_only_when_necessary#Avoiding_or_limiting_your_reverts how wikipedia handles this issue], with 1RV being merely a guideline, and staff enforcement of it only being carried out in the case of clear counter-productive edit warring, reminiscent of the 3 revert rule.

In true midwestern fashion, '''yea no'''. Parroting SK, this is easily the least followed policy (even I don't follow it all the time, I'll admit), but that doesn't mean we should bring it down. We don't need things to take up tons of space in the RC; otherwise, edits are impossible to keep track of, arguments become tedious to actually stop, and traffic goes through the roof.

'''Get outta here. Discussion closed.''' This would only make it harder to enforce correctly. [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] [[Image:Toomai.png|20px|link=User:Toomai/Bin|???]] The Celeritous 20:39, June 18, 2019 (EDT) | |||
