MineClub Wiki Guidelines

## MineClub Wiki Rules

It is highly recommended that you read these rules as well for more in-depth coverage on the rules of this wiki. Please note that by posting/editing on this wiki you are **accepting these terms**. They are subject to change at any given time without warning.

Please note, if something you posted or commented was removed, please do not just repost the content. If something was removed it is most likely due to it breaking our rules below, it's recommended you check your wall for a message regarding the removal of your comment/post and if you have any questions to ask a moderator, administrator or bureaucrat.

Another thing to note is block lengths/warning amounts may vary between situations. If you have any complaints about a block or would like to discuss a block, you may contact us via **Discord** as long as the block in question **is your own**.

**No Unrelated Content**

This wiki is specifically for The Server MineClub so please keep this wiki on-topic at all times. Semi-Unrelated posts are seen as off topic and also break this rule. If you want to talk about off-topic content with the same community, please consider joining our Wiki Discord server.

Examples of Topics That Aren't Allowed:

* Pet Pictures/Real Life Pictures
* Religions
* Politics
* Other MineCraft Servers

**English Only**

This wiki is English only due to all the information being in English and our moderation team being primarily English speaking. Moderating other languages is difficult and time consuming, sorry for the inconvenience.

**Impersonation is Strictly Prohibted**

Impersonation to gain any sort of upper hand, bringing a user's reputation down or for *any other reason* is strictly prohibited and will result in the immediate block of the impersonation account. Impersonation is not a joke and should not be used for any reason.

**Discussion of Moderation**

If you have a question or a problem with a block **you** got, please contact a moderator or administrator via their walls.

**If you wish to discuss someone else's block or warning, just ask the blocked/warned person to discuss it with us instead.** Do not discuss it yourself because you may not actually be aware of the entire situation and can cause more tension. Please leave the issue between the blocked/warned user and the administrators.

If you really must know the situation, please contact an Administrator or Bureaucrat and ask about it in a respectful manner and give us the reason you need to know. If you jump right into defending/explaining a blocked user your message will be removed and we will not attempt to explain what happened at all and anything you say regarding the situation will not be considered and could possibly make things worse, please keep this in mind.

**Copyrighted Content**
Copyright is automatically applied to written and artistic works from the moment they're created. This means if you see someone else's written or artistic work, it is copyrighted and owned by them.
Copyright applies to published and unpublished content, as soon as it's 'fixed' in some way (e.g. on paper or saved to disk), it's covered by copyright.

**Ask Permission**
Using even a very small part of someone else’s work can require permission if that part is an important or integral part and was the result of skill and time.
Making changes doesn’t take away the need to get permission. If you use an important part of someone else’s work you might need permission, even if you make changes to it.
You usually need permission even if your use is non-commercial. The content creator may set different terms for non-commercial use (e.g. a different fee) but you still need to ask.

**Credit the Original Creator**
You have a legal obligation to credit the author when you use their work, unless the author has clearly stated that credit is not needed. Using a work for the purposes of criticism, review or reporting news is conditional on crediting the author and title of the work. In other cases, you might need permission even though you credit.

**IRL-Trading Isn't Permitted**

We've discussed details of this rule with The Core Team, please keep in mind that this rule is in place to provide a level of security for the users based on what they consider to be IRL-trading.

Things that are considered IRL-trading:

* Trading IRL Money for In-Game Items.
* Anything to do with gaining In game items for IRL Money.

Things that are NOT considered IRL-trading:

* Trading Art For in-game Items
* Offering services such as Coding, Website making etc For Items.

**Asking For Free Things**

Asking for free things is not permitted on this Wiki and can be seen as rude. Unless the person you're asking has stated that they're giving something away to the first person who asks, please refrain from asking for free things.

**Scamming Isn't Permitted**

Scamming is against our rules and heavily frowned upon. If there is sufficient video evidence against a user they may be added to the User Beware Page. What is considered sufficient video evidence? The video has to include the **entire trade from beginning to end** and the other user confirming what the trade should be before the trade happens.

If any of these requirements are not met, the proof may be dismissed as insufficient.

**No opinionated posts, Examples:**

* Best Staff Member
* Best Hat
* Best Players

**No posts about specific players, Examples:**

* Bombary is the best
* posts about banned players
* Beta players

**No duplicate/unofficial events, Examples:** *( These go in the archive )*

* last to stop running event
* Executive blowing up his house
* (User) Dropped 1000 Billion Gems

**No unhelpful edits, Example:**

* “This was really fun Event!”
* “This event had nothing different about it”
