## Punishments

Blocking is a way to stop users who are making edits that harm the wiki. These actions normally follow with a warning and if ignored, a block. The length of the block will be determined on how severe the action was and the below information.

### Vandalism

Vandalism involves messing with pages by adding random gibberish or removing content etc. If a user vandalizes a page, they will be warned. If they ignore 2 warnings, they will receive a 1-2 week ban depending on how severe. More ignoring of warnings could result in a couple months ban or indefinite depending on severity.

### Using Inappropriate Language

If you are directing inappropriate language to users, you will be warned. Ignoring a warning will lead to a few days ban. Ignoring quite a few will result in a few weeks ban and constant ignoration will result in a couple months ban.

Sometimes, users will use profanity to spam/vandalize pages like replacing all of the content of that page with a word. The Vandalism rules/policy will be applied to this type of situation.

### Spamming

Spamming can include anything by creating articles that don't relate to Fall Guys or ones that just use profanity and other foul languages or images. Spamming can also include creating essessive blogs or links that don't really have much to do with the wiki or just other things that seem off. A few offenses will lead to a week ban after 1 warning ignored. Ignoring again will result into a few months ban.

### Harassment/Bullying

Harassment/Bullying is a very serious action that leads to blocks. A user may constantly bother a certain user (s) and doesn't stop even when told so. If a user continues to harass another without stopping, then a couple weeks block will be issued. If they continue to do so afterwards, then the block will be infinite.

### Plagiarism

Plagiarism is the act of copying content from another source word-for-word to use as your own. Plagiarism can result into a longer ban much quicker than other actions because it is considered illegal in some places, it shows you don't care about the original creator's edits and the format will be different than that of ours.
