So what's our policy on cleaning up test logs? Fat wads of crappy tests haven't been too much of a problem because there's only a few entries that involve that, but with the ever increasing traffic we're going to get more tests like "put poop in 914 and get mcburgers on 1:1 LOL" or the latest headache of "Put Fred in Homestuck"

Generally up to the site author, or a designated other.

I just reverted the Fred in Homestuck thing for sanity's sake, the discussion page seemed about ready to light up with … well … people feel strongly about Homestuck.

I know we have lots of more serious stuff on deck right now with the migration but some quick little mini policy on reverting bad test logs like either "Don't do it unless you are the author" or "Two staff can revert a bad test" would make me feel less bad about making changes on the fly.

I'd prefer if it was three in agreement or the article's author's prerogative.

Seconding the either/or on three-count consensus and article author's perogative.

Given the minimal nature of the edit, i.e. removing a single subpar entry from a longer work, would anybody mind informal consensus for deletion? Say three of us agree in chat that a particular test should go, then we make a single post on the thread containing either the whole test under a collapsible or a summary and saying "Echo, Eskobar, and I agreed in chat that this sucks and should go." I'm just thinking that having to do "Suggesting X for deletion" "Second" "Third" "Okay, got rid of it" won't help us prevent threadspamming, it'll contribute to it.

I think informal is fine here.

I agree that informal is fine, the discussion page is going to stay up and stinking it up with votes would be bad. Next time I see a crummy test log I will pop into chat to touch base with everyone else.

This sounds pretty much fine to me.
