Rules

**Rules**

These are general guidelines to what rules you must follow while on this wikia. Note that, upon staff discretion, you may be blocked for something that isn't on this list, so long it is serve enough to warrant a block.

There are three main tiers of rules. The first one requires a warning, the second one is a limited time block while the third is an instant permanent block. Block times are generally in the time frame indicated, though repeat offenders may see a grater block time.

Trying to make loopholes or bypassing the rules will result in an appropriate action.

**Tier One Block Rules**Breaking these rules will result in a warning then a block from a period of 1-7 days, if the same rule is broken again (within a month).
* **Misuse of Article**: Creating a page for the wrong purpose, for example, suggestions or reporting bugs.
Use the discussions for ideas, and if needed, your own user blogs for personal articles uses.
* **Posting Large Images**: Posting an image that takes up a large portion of the page.
Remember to check how big it will appear on the page before posting it. Restrict it.
* **Adding useless/false information**: Adding joke tips/trivia to pages.
Make sure what you are placing is useful and truthful. For suggestions, use discussions instead.
If there is clear intent of vandalism, then this rule is ignored and a straight block is used.

* Sending the same message randomly to people, or simply reposting the same message over and over.
