I think we should have a definition of what constitutes "proof."

I think that all officers should have the power to make what they feel are appropriate judgement calls, but proof is something else.

In particular, there is an ability to set up accounts on different media that might have eerily similar names to already existing people.

I would like to propose an addition to the General Policies that "proof" on our wiki requires links to things posted on our wiki where we can hope to minimize the risk of impersonation. In other words, conversations held on other media, such as Facebook, Instagram, or KA itself, should not be considered absolute proof.

These other sources may be used to provide evidence or make an argument, but I would like to somehow ensure that when someone says "proof" here that it can be verified indepedently by anyone that may wish to check it.

If people agree, please give this message kudos. If we get enough support, I will add this to the "General Policies."
