	Many ~~Wikipedians~~ remove personal attacks on third parties on sight, and although this isn't policy it's often seen as an appropriate reaction to extreme personal abuse. Users have been [[Battlestar Wiki:Banning policy \| banned]] for repeatedly engaging in personal attacks. Abusive edit summaries are particularly ill-regarded.

	As with the attacks defined above, personal attacks on other editors in off-Battlestar Wiki venues reflect badly on the attacker and are unlikely to achieve a positive outcome. Battlestar Wiki acknowledges that it cannot regulate behavior in media not under the control of the ~~Wikimedia Foundation~~, but personal attacks elsewhere may create doubt as to whether your on-wiki actions are being conducted in [[BW:AGF\|good faith]]. Posting personal attacks or defamation off-Battlestar Wiki is harmful to the entire community, and to your relationship with it.

	While you may not be directly ~~penalised~~ for off-wiki attacks, they may be taken as aggravating factors when any on-wiki policy violations are being considered. For example, they can be used as evidence of bad faith in the dispute-resolution process, or as evidence in [[BW:RFC\|requests for comment]].
