I took a look through the policies and my own blogs, and it turns out that preventing antagonist fussing isn't an official policy here. I think it was going to be an unofficial policy or guideline until I could work with RedCoatOfficial to make it a policy, but never followed through with that.

Lizardnut101, the short version of why this was going to be done is there have been a lot of people who spent a lot of their time (sometimes all of their time) trying to figure out exactly what kind of antagonist characters are. A lot of these people kept changing that label just to change it and never had a reason for doing so. Some even contradicted themselves when they did it. It became a type of edit war and vandalism, so I kind of got the ball rolling on a few wikis to get people to stop doing that.

It's something that needs to get started here, so the way you can help out is don't even bother with trying to say what kind of an antagonist characters are. Write about the things they do and how they interact with other characters. That's more important anyway than trying to pin them down with a specific antagonist label.
