Rules

## Rule Classification

These rules are divided into classes for severity clarity. Rule breaking is usually dealt with on a case-by-case basis, so take class descriptions with the teensiest grain of salt. If you break a rule you will be notified on your user wall with what rule(s) you broke and what consequences you will experience.

The classes go as follows:

1. **Class X** : Instant wiki ban/block. Absolutely unacceptable behavior. Fandom Account reported for TOS violation.
2. **Class A** : Indefinite/Exceedingly lengthy wiki ban/block. Decidedly reprimandable behavior. Fandom Account may or may not be reported depending on rule violation specifics.
3. **Class B** : 1-3 wall warning grace period, else 1-3 months wiki ban/block. Disruptive behavior.
4. **Class C** : 3 wall warning grace period, else 1-7 days wiki editing ban/block. Mild Disturbance of Quality.

## Content Guidelines

This section of the rules pertains to editing/adding wiki article content. For rules related to the talk section, user walls, comments, etc: see discussion rules.

- **All edits should serve a purpose.** Don't edit just for the sake of editing. It’s safe to say we’re all at least a little guilty of rephrasing the same sentence a couple times to add length, but this is Kermitism: not a school essay. It’s okay for things to be short and sweet. This rule is in reference to edits that add more text but no new information to pre-existing articles, if you end up being repetitive with an edit that’s fine, just don’t do it on purpose and make sure you’ve actually contributed new content to the article.

- **Keep edits on-topic**. Don’t go on tangents that don't heavily relate to the subject of the article. You can link related articles, but every part of a page should be easily connected back to the subject.

**- Keep information up to date.** Before publishing an edit, it’s a good practice to check information you add to make sure it’s up-to-date with the Kermitism story at the time of its addition.

**- Avoid using first-person pronouns.** Unless writing from the first-person perspective of a certain character, please avoid using "I", "me", or "Myself" to refer to you, the editor or page creator, as its unprofessional and confusing. We don't want to go through the edit history logs to see who "I" is refering to. Please speak of yourself in the third person.

**- Avoid using heavily NSFW content.** Most people on this wiki are legally minors, please avoid adding heavily NSFW pictures or other such material.

- **Don’t be a bigot.** Nobody here likes a bigoted person please do not use slurs or discriminatory content when editing,

- **Have fun.** Like I said, Kermitism is basically a big 'ol shitpost. Don't stress about writing well or spelling things right or having fancy looking images, this is purely for fun.

## Editing Punishment

If you break the first three rules, here are the consequences: (all will be placed on your wall so you know what happened)

**First time:** Edits removed, warning on your wall.

**Second time:** Edits removed, editing suspended for a week.

**Third time:** Edits remove, account indefinitely suspended from editing.

## Discussion Rules

Queefus is overjoyed you want to chat with the community! Follow these rules to keep him filled with joy.

- **Keep it civil.** Don't be a karen! Respect others' opinions. You can enjoy a character or arc that someone else might not enjoy, and that's ok!

- **Don't bring up loaded topics.** There are certain times when discussion of heavy subject is called for, in which case, please move it outside the wiki. The Kermitism Wiki is lighthearted! Please don't bring the mood down. There are places for serious discussions however.

- **No advertising.** Discussion areas are for discussion of Kermitism, not for sharing links to social medias, plugging merch or paypal, etc. Please find another place to promote yourself.
