Rules:Contents

This is the rule page for the Duet Cats wiki! These rules are expected to, and should be, followed. Failure to do so may result in punishment.

## General rules

1. Remain kind, civil & respectful to other users. Remember that they are people, just like you. This means that you cannot antagonize others on the wiki, in text or photos.
2. Everyone has their own opinions. Please respect them, and avoid badgering each other for differing opinions.
3. It is **strictly forbidden** to suggest that someone harms, or even kills themselves. We do not condone the act of doing this, as suicide is not a joke, and is a serious topic.
4. You are not to threaten other users. We want this wiki to be a safe place for our users, not a place for your toxicity.
5. Vandalizing pages or any part of the wiki will lead to severe punishment. Vandalizing a page usually manifests in deliberately changing or destroying the article's contents, mostly, or always, in bad faith.
	1. This includes the insertion of false information, although the punishment for this offense is based on the staff members' judgment.
	2. This also includes spamming the same message within discussion posts. Spamming is not conducive to getting your message across and will only be met with a punishment, the staff members' time wasted, and *your* time wasted.
6. NSFW content is not allowed; posting anything NSFW in nature, whether gory media or sexual content.
7. Hateful or violent content is not allowed. Content containing violent content, such as racism, homophobia, xenophobia, or any other kind of hate-speech is not allowed, and may result in severe punishment.
8. Slurs are **not** allowed. Content containing slurs will be removed and may result in a block.
9. Controversial and loaded topics are frowned upon. Refrain from discussing loaded subjects, such as politics, religion, and other subjects which may be sensitive to other users.
10. No profanity or foul words. Foul language is not allowed on articles, blog posts, article comments, and other social areas on the wiki.
	1. Avoid censoring profanity, as this may still be removed.
11. Do not impersonate anyone.
12. Please refrain from mini-modding. Mini-modding occurs when non-staff users push the rules of the wiki and attempt to enforce them, rather than reporting these rule-breakers to the staff members.
13. As per FANDOM's ToS, and the COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act), users under 13 are not allowed on this wiki. If a user is found to be under 13, they will most likely be blocked.

## Editing Rules

1. **Do not add irrelevant or subjective categories**.
2. **No guides or tutorials** should be on an article. You may, however, post them on your own blog.
3. Don't make edits just for the sake of editing.
4. No articles for leaked items or myths. Pages should only be created for explicit in-game content.
5. Do not add an appearance section to pages. A 'simple' design to someone may come complex to another person.

## Specifics

1. Do not edit another user's profile page unless they explicitly allow you to.
2. Sockpuppeting, or ban evasion, is not allowed. If someone bypasses their block by utilizing alternate accounts, all your accounts may be blocked indefinitely unless appealed.
3. The only place to self-promote is from your own profile, and self-promoting anywhere else will result in a warning.
	* Sharing videos is OK, as long as the purpose is not self-promotion.
4. Do not remove messages from wiki staff from your own message wall.
5. Do not create blog posts that feature little to no content. (e.g creating a blog posts that only says "first" or a single sentence.)
6. Do not post comments that are not related to the article that it is posted under.
7. Do not attempt to bait users into revealing personal info for the purpose of reporting them for being underage.
