Line 173:
*ANI discussions have a bad habit of taking on a momentum and life of their own, becoming bloated, unwieldy and [[WP:TLDR]]. Conceding the odd exception, in my experience most ANI discussions cease being productive after 2-3 days. Admins should consider closing discussions after that point.
*Don't be afraid to admit you were wrong. We all make mistakes and if you do or say something that turns out to have been wrong or less than great, admitting as much upfront can actually end up enhancing your position. In the case of OPs it may also help deflecting the dreaded [[WP:BOOMERANG]].
*It is not uncommon for experienced editors to assist with reviewing reports, which can be helpful, especially where the report is complicated and might require a little digging. Additionally, some editors considering RfA will do this to help gain experience in dealing with policy and guideline questions as well as dealing with problematic editors. However, in general newer and inexperienced editors should stay clear of the drama board to the extent possible.
