NumberVectors' Elementblocks Wiki/Rules

These are the rules of the NumberVectors' Elementblocks Wiki. Some offenses are all grouped with the same punishment, while others have their own unique ones. Harshness depends on how serious the offense is.

## Major Offenses

* Swearing - I personally do not appreciate vulgar language, so please refrain from profanity.
* Posting NSFW content - Jokes relating to this topic too, including 69 jokes.
* Spamming - of anything
* Sockpuppeting - One alt account is allowed, but not if you are currently blocked. If you are blocked, your alt account should be too.
* Editing userpages without any user rights - even if it is to correct a typo.
* Excessive vandalism

You will be blocked for a week and will be given a strike after you get unblocked.

* Sockpuppeting - One alt account is allowed, but not if you are currently blocked. If you are blocked, your alt account should be too.

Sockpuppeting can block you for eternity (a very long time)!

## Medium Offenses

* Disrespect - To anyone, even a fellow "normal" user. If two people disrespect each other, both will receive a strike.
* Unauthorized strike removal - You strike will be put back and a second strike will be added
* Substituting or censoring swear words - It still counts as a swear as you had the intention of saying it.
* Threatening users
* Overreactions
* Posting disturbing/personal content - this includes violent pictures/words, saying you will commit suicide, etc.
* Vandalism

You will receive a one strike.

## Suggestions

* Please follow the format mentioned below.
* Please try to speak with proper grammar. This is to prevent any miscommunication.

## General format for pages

* Start with the TopNavBox (if necessary)
* A short description
* A quote (if necessary)
* Main Infobox
* Body

Please have the pages in British English with good grammar.

## Syntax

* If are mentioning an Elementblock, either say their name with the first letter capitalised, or say their atomic symbol.
	+ Example: "Hydrogen is grey." NOT "hydrogen is grey."
* If you mention their atomic symbol capitalise correctly.
	+ Example: "H is a boy, He is a girl." NOT "h is a boy, he is a girl."
* When referring to the elements in real life, DO NOT use its atomic symbol unless it's in a reaction and DO NOT capitalise.
	+ Example: "We breathe in oxygen." NOT "We breathe in Oxygen." NOT "We breathe in O."
	+ Example: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O. ALSO two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen molecule combine to form two water (dihydrogen monoxide) molecules.

## User rights rules

These specify on the eligibility of having them and what not to do with them.

If you want thread moderator rights you must:

* have at least 10 posts
* Not have an empty userpage
* be active on this wiki for at least a week straight.

If you want content moderator rights you must:

* have a userpage
* make at least 20 edits
* be active on this wiki for at least three weeks straight.

If you want bureaucrat rights you must:

* Already have both thread moderator and content moderator rights.
* have at least 25 posts
* have at least 100 edits
* be active on this wiki for at least two months straight.

If a bureaucrat already trusts you enough, the requirements (with quantity) **might** be halved.
If one wishes to be revoked from these rights, all they have to do is ask someone who can remove them to remove them.

What not to do with any rights:

* Use them to get out of trouble. An offense is an offense.
* Give any other user user rights without contacting another bureaucrat (the founder has an exception).
