Forum:CT Archive/Banning requests to help with other wikis

Users from other wikis occasionally come here to request that other users come help them with their other wiki.

However, this also commonly takes the form of posting to the user talk pages of multiple established users asking them to come help, which is very annoying. However, from what I can tell, we don't actually have a policy that explicitly bans this.

This would formally ban this practice and make it a blockable offense.
