 about page
This is the rules page for the APG Wiki. All rules on this page must be abided or punishments will occur. Wiki formatting and discussion rules still apply, but this page is mostly the overall rules.
The rules will be separated into six categories based on APG's difficulty system: 1.0 , 2.0 , 3.0 , 4.0 , 5.0 , and 6.0 . The categories are based on the punishments assigned to them. Rule from the 1.0 section are very low severity and will in most cases, will result with small actions like reversing edits, messaging the rule breaker etc. while rules that are 5.0 and 6.0 will often result in an indefinite block or IP block. Constantly breaking rules will result in an increase in the punishment, but anything below a 4.0 will usually not result in an indefinite block or IP block.
(The Plates of Fate: Remastered Wiki and Juke's Tower of Hell Wiki were used as references for creating these rules. Go check them out!)
