	+ ➣ If a user is revealed to be underage, please contact, with **proper evidence**, an *administrator* to report the user right away.
* ➣ Be respectful to **every** user! Do not argue, insult, threaten, harass, purposefully offend, or disrespect users or their opinions.
* ➣ Spamming is **not** allowed in any way! This includes spamming images, links, words, edits, etc.
* ➣ Vandalism on the wiki is **strictly *prohibited***.
* ➣ Please communicate in **English only**, unless you have permission from staff to speak otherwise. This is an English Wikia; common understanding is a must.

	+ ➣ Even if you are not a native English speaker, please try your best to speak in English.
* ➣ The use of alternative accounts is **not** tolerated.

	+ ➣ If you are caught *"sockpuppeting"* (using multiple accounts to bypass rules or bans), there will be a harsher punishment.
* ➣ For actions to be taken against a user, **proper** evidence must be given to an administrator or chat moderator.
* ➣ If an admin has been inactive for a long period of time, they might be *demoted*.

* ➣ Official information about Crush Crush, be it in the game, or behind the scenes. Only include the facts that have been given.
* ➣ If something isn’t in-game, a reference should be included somewhere on the page, preferably in trivia. If you do not provide an official reference, it will likely be removed by the admins.

	+ ➣ For information on how to format the pages, visit our Wiki Formatting page.
* ➣ Any picture such as a screenshot, an artwork, etc. must be in the **highest** quality possible.

	+ ➣ This means **no .jpg/.jpeg images, no images of small size, no photo of a TV screen or computer monitor, etc.** Images must be in .png format with the highest quality possible.
	+ ➣ If you are unable to find an image in good quality, please contact an admin for assistance or just don't upload the image at all.
* ➣ We already know Crush Crush and Blush Blush have both censored and uncensored versions. But as a wiki hosted by Fandom, **NO NSFW photos are allowed in this Wiki** (This includes most Lingerie outfits).

	+ ➣ Additionally, Artist Panda has expressly requested that the wiki should not include any images that have any genitals showing, for the same reasons as discussed in the pinned Steam discussions. Breaking this rule may be construed as Code Yellow vandalism, even if the images do not appear on any article pages.
* ➣ Constant edit fighting or constant vandalism to pages will cause them to be **protected**.

	+ ➣ Incidentally, if a page has just recently been unprotected, please ask an administrator before editing.
* ➣ Please read your edits **thoroughly** and **double check** *grammar and spelling* before submitting your edits.
* ➣ Do not make useless edits for the sake of increasing your edit count/badges. (Examples: Changing "Don't" to "Do not", or reverting edits with no explanation, etc.)
* ➣ Any user can create new pages, but before making a new page, users should understand that they shouldn't create articles for things that are very minor or for things that the user barely knows anything about.

	+ ➣ If the created page has barely any information, the "Stub" template may be added to let users know to add more information.
* ➣ Please use *formal language* while writing articles. This is a Wikia, not a blog.
* ➣ It is **prohibited** to edit other user's profiles without their permission. Users may request for their user page to be protected if it has been vandalized, or if they just want to prevent future vandalism.
* ➣ Posting content that is not-yet free in the games is generally discouraged.

	+ ➣ Posting content that is not-yet available to paying players is **prohibited**. *If someone had to cheat for you to get it, DO NOT POST IT.*

* ➣ **No** *flame-baiting* or *flame war* comments. This means do not purposefully start an argument with someone to get a reaction out of them.
* ➣ **No** attacking others' personal opinions via comments, they will be removed and *sanctions* will be applied.
* ➣ **Avoid** walls of text when possible, unless it is truly needed to get your point across.
* ➣ **No** spam or junk comments of any nature.
* ➣ **No** comments of an overtly sexual nature.

**These rules apply to the chat room:**

* ➣ *Any abuse* towards users e.g. sexism or racism will result in a **kick or a ban** if repeated.

	+ ➣ *Abuse* to admins or chat mods will also result in a **harsher punishment**.
* ➣ You are **not** allowed to advertise another Wikia on this chat.

	+ ➣ You are also **not** allowed to link to another Wikia's chatroom.
* ➣ *Pornography* of any kind is strictly **prohibited**.
* Please **refrain** from *spamming* on the chat. This includes spamming text, emojis, images, etc.
* ➣ **No** chain mail. If you do this, you will automatically be kicked.
* ➣ If an admin or chat mod asks you to *leave* the chat, **do so without arguing**.

**If a rule is broken, *sanctions* will be applied. Depending on the severity of disobedience to any of these rules, the harshness of the consequence will vary.**

Only administrators can block users. The following are warnings and responses that admins may use against logged in users who break the rules or code of conduct for this wiki. They are listed from least serious to most serious:

* ➣ **A polite message** posted on the user’s message wall explaining what they did and asking them not to do it again. This should be the first response in almost all cases.
* ➣ At least one more additional warnings for vandalizers and people not acting in good faith. These warnings may also be issued for violations of the code of conduct.
* ➣ **Blocks of 1 to 7 days** should be issued for persistent minor violations after the first warning.
* ➣ **Blocks of 1 to 3 weeks** for more persistent violations and/or serious violations.
* ➣ **Blocks for 1 month or more** for numerous, persistent violations and/or very serious violations.
* ➣ **Permanent blocking should only be used for as follows**:

	+ ➣ Users that engage in persistent, serious violations, especially if the account is used only for vandalism.
	+ ➣ Users who have come back from multiple temporary blocks in the past, but still continue to break the rules.
	+ ➣ It is against the rules to create a new account to get around an existing ban. Such accounts should be blocked permanently, but only if it is known with absolute certainty that the account is used by the same person who used a currently-blocked account.

If a user breaks the rules while not logged in, the **polite message** stages may be skipped. Repeated violations while not logged in may result in a block to all users (even logged in) at that IP address.

Generally, if a user continues to break rules, they will receive progressively more serious punishments from this list. For minor violations, users might receive many warnings without necessarily being blocked. However, for very serious offenses, administrators can skip directly from a first warning to a long block. Admins can choose the response, including block duration, based upon their judgment of the severity of the violation.

Administrators should provide a clear explanation when performing any block. If a block is neither permanent nor for vandalism, the admin should leave a polite message on the user's talk page explaining why they were blocked and asking the user to return as long as they can follow the rules in the future.

(Updated as 12th Nov 2017) People whom caught for Vandalism will be judged by Color Code; depends on how severe the damage dealt for Vandalism.

***Vandalism Color Code:***

* ➣ **Code Blue:** Mild Vandalism. Vandals with Code Blue Vandalism will be given warning for their actions.
* ➣ **Code Green:** Minor Vandalism. Vandals with Code Green Vandalism will be given strict warning for their actions. Admins have rights to block the Vandals with Code Green Vandalism if he repeat the same actions within 30 days after the last action given.
* ➣ **Code Yellow:** Major Vandalism. Vandals with Code Yellow Vandalism will be blocked from editing. The block duration will depends on Admin itself.
* ➣ **Code Orange:** Severe Vandalism. Vandals with Code Orange Vandalism will be permanent blocked from editing. This issue may be sent to Wikia Admins for further actions as Vandals with Code Orange can lead the risk to Wikia Community.
* ➣ **Code Red:** Serious Vandalism. Vandals with Code Red Vandalism will be Permanent Banned as well as sending the issue to Wikia Admins for issue IP ban as Vandals with Code Red will give total threat to Wikia Community.
