If you or anyone else has any suggestions on a definition for this I'd welcome it.

I've no objection to that as long as its based on the wiki def. Anything else would I think be too subjective.

I would also like to see a FAQ or "HOWTO" set up with specific information about conflict resolution (Either between two regular members or between a member and a Moderator), and how to report possible infractions (It took me a while to find that little flag icon).
I think an FAQ or HOWTO would be in order.

If anyone has any suggestions other than the two above or would like to expand on these, please include them.

The more dialog we get on this the better.
