Rules

This article is protected. This page is a protected page. If it needs to be edited, please ask an admin or a content moderator to edit it.

These are the rules for editing/posting on this wiki. Please read them before you start editing or posting. Even if you don't agree with these rules, they are here for a reason. And that reason is to keep everyone safe and happy on this wiki.

Please remember that most of the admins on this wiki would hate having to ban someone's account, but they have the power to do so if ever needed.

We understand that people will make mistakes. If this ever happens, you may receive a warning, but we will forgive you as long as you don't do it again. 😊

Remember that we take Fandom's rules VERY seriously. By following these rules, you also agree to follow the guidelines defined by the FANDOM terms of use.

Rules

1. No use of swear/bad words/profanity

This is one of the most important rules to follow on this wiki. We are very strict about the use of any bad words. Swearing with symbols is still swearing. Removing a letter is still swearing. We don't want any acronyms such as Lmao. If the acronym has any bad words in it, you cannot use it. Once again, we understand mistakes may be made. Remember that because there are admins and thread mods on this wiki, any posts or comments on this wiki that you made can be edited. If you ever accidentally break this rule, we will edit your post/comment and warn you. As long as you don't do it again, you will be forgiven.

2. Nothing inappropriate

Many wikis require that the posts are about the topic of the wiki. For this wiki, we don't care if they are or not. You can talk about anything you want as long as it's nothing inappropriate for the internet and other viewers to see. This rule is also one of the fandom rules, and it must be followed. NSFW includes any sexual, profane, offensive, violent, or otherwise graphic material that you post. Any images or videos you post containing nudity will be deleted and will result in an immediate permanent ban of your account and all alt accounts, no exceptions.

3. No doxxing others

As we're sure you are all aware, once something is posted here, ANYONE on the face of the earth can view it. When many users joined fandom, they made sure to be very protective of their personal info such as their names, their ages, their locations, etc. We strongly recommend you not to give away any info that could be used to identify yourself. We understand that some people may be friends in real life and know each other's information, but please don't post it on the Internet. Call each other by their fandom name, NOT THEIR REAL NAME. Don't give away where you live, because strangers on the internet could easily see it and show up at your house. Also, NO PRESSURING PRIVATE INFO OUT OF PEOPLE (This is what doxxing means, in case any of you were unaware). Please follow this rule. There are ways for anyone to recover past information posted even after it's been deleted. Keep yourself and your friends safe by not posting anyone's, including your, private info! Depending on the situation, punishment may vary. Any discussion posts asking for ages, real names, birthdays, or any other personal information will be deleted.

4. Keep the discussion posts to a reasonable number

Some wikis have a discussion post limit of something like 3 per day. For this wiki, we recommend you to try to keep it around 3 per day, but definitely less than 6. Please still keep it to 3, but if every once in a while you want to do 4 or 5, it will be OK. Also, make sure you type actual sentences on the posts. We don't want the discussions clogged with random gibberish.

5. Be respectful

This is another very important rule for this wiki. Nearly all people in the world have met some bullies in their lifetime, and we're pretty sure that many of you have, too. Please keep it friendly and be polite when talking to others. You may not always agree with people, but that's okay! But when disagreeing, be mature. Don’t call people names or act like they’re stupid. This can really hurt someone’s feelings. Remember, this wiki wants to keep people safe and happy. We are a supportive community. We love hearing new and interesting ideas from everyone.

6. No vandalism

We have lots of editors on the wiki that worked very hard to make this wiki full of interesting information, so please don't ruin it. We love to see people add correct information to what's already there, but please don't add gibberish or anything irrelevant to the topic of the page. Blanking out a useful page also counts as vandalizing it. Anyone who vandalizes will receive a warning from one of the administrators. Continuing to vandalize results in a ban.

7. No impersonations

There are impersonations on many wikis, and they are a serious offense. There is no excuse for pretending to be another user. We don't care whether it's used to get the person banned or just used as a joke, it will result in an immediate ban.

8. Please don't spam post

This is a continuation of Rule #4. We love hearing your thoughts on this wiki, but all discussion posts are supposed to be meaningful. Here are some examples of what we mean by spamming:

• Flooding of a comment section or the discussion section (holding down enter and causing people to scroll down past blank lines)

• Intentionally creating blank posts

• Excessive self-promotion of user generated content (e.g., spamming Discord server links, spamming links or videos in unrelated sections of the site)

• Posts which contain just gibberish (e.g., "dfjvfcbjhfcgvbhhjgfb")

• Etc.

Any who violated this rule will get a warning.

9. No harassment

This goes along with the "Be respectful" rule. Posts that express criticisms are allowed; posts that intentionally plan to cause flame wars or attempt to cause flame wars are strictly prohibited and will be deleted. Being mean to users or calling them names counts as bullying and will classify as harassment. Depending on the severity, it may result in a 1 week ban. Any further violation of this rule after being unbanned will result in a longer ban that will be determined by the admins.

10. No edit farming

We love it when you help edit the wiki and we'll feel OK if you want to make multiple edits, but please don't be excessive. As long as the edits are correct and useful, it doesn't matter how many times you want to edit. Adding categories is fine if they are useful and apply to the topic of the page. For example, adding Hollis Johnson to the category of "Contestants of Season 1" would be fine. If you are adding nonsense to pages or are adding/removing words repetitively just to get badges, this would qualify as edit farming. Any breaking of this rule will result in a warning given by one of the admins.

11. No threats

Any threatening of hurting/killing someone will result in a warning or ban. Depending on the severity, it could result in a ban up to 6 months. We understand that you may not like everyone you meet on this wiki, but wanting to hurt them is extreme. Just be careful about what you say. For example, being mad and saying something like “I want to kill you” may seem like a joke, but can be interpreted seriously. Keep in mind, while you post, we can’t hear how you might be saying something. We have no way of knowing if you’re really joking or not. A situation like this would result in a ban.

12. No discrimination

This is already included in Fandom’s TOU, but this is a very important rule. We accept EVERYONE here and everyone deserves to be treated equally. That being said, most of the articles here on this wiki are about real life people. Those people deserve equal respect. Do not make discriminatory insults directed towards them or anyone else on the wiki. This will result in a warning and a ban if you continue.

If anyone has any questions about these rules, PLEASE let any of the admins know, and we will be happy to answer. (The admins are KittenLove1311 and BurgerLover11). We like to see that people are reading and trying to understand these rules. There will never be any stupid questions! If ever needed, you can write a message on the bureaucrat, KittenLove1311's message wall, and she will try to respond as fast as possible.

Warnings

For breaking a rule, you will receive a warning. If you receive too many warnings, depending on the severity of the rules you broke and how many warnings you got, you may receive a ban. If you have any questions about why your warning was given or feel it was unfairly given, please talk to an admin.

Who can give warnings?

Warnings can ONLY be given by Moderators and Admins. But for moderators, it depends on the situation. Rollbacks are the only staff member that can't give out warnings.

If you are a thread mod, you may only give a warning if someone broke a rule in discussion posts. The job of a thread mod is to monitor the threads. For example, if someone is giving threats or posting inappropriate things in discussion posts or comments, a thread mod can give a warning to that person. A thread mod CAN'T give out warnings for vandalizing pages or edit farming. That is a content mod's job.

If you are a content mod, you may only give out a warning if someone breaks a rule on the pages of this wiki. The job of a content mod is to monitor the content of the wiki and make sure no one ruins it. If someone is edit farming or vandalizing the pages of this wiki, a content mod can give a warning to them. If they are writing inappropriate things on the pages of the wiki, a content mod could give a warning for that also. A content mod CAN'T give out warnings for someone breaking a rule in discussion posts/comments. This is a thread mod's job.

Remember, even if you are not staff or aren't allowed to give out a warning, if you think someone has broken a rule and deserves a warning, please message an admin or moderator who can give the warning.
