Community Rules

# **Welcome to the wiki of the CGCU!**

For the purposes of civility, order, and a load of other things, there are a number of rules for all to follow. These rules exist to make the wiki the best it can be.

There are two groups of rules: General Rules, for everyone to follow, and Editing Rules, specifically to be followed when editing.

## General Rules

1. **All pages, conversations, discussion, and all other forms of text in the Wiki are to be kept civil.** This includes but is not limited to:

* The prohibition of arguments - take it somewhere else.
* The prohibition of all slurs and other offensive language.
* The prohibition of harassment or bullying against others.

2. **Don't flood discussions with nothing useful (also includes spamming on anything)**

Seriously, just don't.

**3. Alting to bypass restrictions placed on you and/or break rules (both general and editing)**

Pretty much, if you're using an account to something you cannot do another one of your accounts, it will face the same, if not more severe punishment.

**4. Don't impersonate an administrator**

There is only one administrator which is myself, ZombiefiedX. This will not change unless absolutely necessary. You will also be punished for any other form of impersonation, including impersonating content creators, Cameron etc.

## Editing Rules

1. **No vandalism**

"Vandalism" is defined as anything which will deface, or otherwise drastically edit a page for no reason. This includes:

* Deleting mass amounts of text
* Deliberately putting misinformation onto pages
* Spamming mass amounts of text which has no connection at all to the topic in the page

Vandalism will never be tolerated, and will be punished to the highest degree.

**2. No low effort/poorly made edits**

I understand you're most likely trying to help, but low effort or poorly made edits may be deleted, rolled back etc.

**3. Do not abuse rollback**

This only applies to those given rollback permissions. Rolling back without authorisation or in an emergency situation (such as vandalism) will lead to removal of rollback permissions and possibly more.

**4. Only edit authorised pages!**

I'll most likely put protection on most of the pages people shouldn't be editing, but if you think it's a page you shouldn't edit (this one as an example), don't.

Pretty much only edit pages related to Cameron Geller's content and the CGCU.

## Rule Management

To help me out in emergencies, such as vandalism, I may give out rollback permissions to people who are active and trusted members of the wiki. Those with rollback permissions may only use it in emergencies. This pretty much only applies to severe vandalism. Rollback may only be used otherwise with my explicit permission.

**If you ever have to use rollback, immediately DM me to dish out perma-blocks.**

Blocks are the main form of punishment which will be used. Those who don't know, blocks will prevent people from editing pages, and may also stop the user using other features. The block punishments for and their appealability is below.

**Civility (Argument):** Stern warning, one day block with all permissions removed for duration if continued

**Civility (Slurs):** One week block, all permissions removed for duration

**Civility (Harassment):** One week block, all permissions removed for duration

**Discussion Flood/Spam:** Three day block, all permissions excluding individual talk page removed for duration

**Alting:** Alt perma-blocked, main will not be repunished unless more than one alt has been linked to the person.

**Impersonation:** One month block minimum, if misleading details (impersonating pfps, names etc) are not changed, account will remain blocked until they do so

**Vandalism (Mass deleting/spamming):** Perma-block, no appeals

**Vandalism (Deliberate misinformation):** At least two week block, possibly more depending on severity

**Poorly made edits:** No punishment, but edits will be undone. Consistently doing this may lead to certain permissions being removed.

**Rollback Abuse:** Minimum one month block, banned from holding rollback perms.

**Unauthorised page editing:** Stern warning, one week block with all permissions except editing talk page removed for duration. User will also be partially blocked to prevent them editing restricted pages

If a block has to be given more than once for a certain offence (i.e. user was blocked once then broke the rule again), duration may be extended. For example, a one day block can be a week long block, and a three day block can be a two week long block.

Repeat offenders who break one rule then a different rule, or those who break two rules at once, will face additional punishment at my discretion.

Getting 5 blocks, surpassing a two month block, or reoffending after getting a one month block for a first offense (for abusing rollback or smth) will lead to a perma-block.

## Appeals

All punishments except for severe vandalism or other extremely dire offenses may be appealed. To appeal, go to the appeals form and fill it out. Once you have done that, DM Church of Jaba#9648 stating that you have filled out your appeal. **This must be done or you will more than likely be ignored.**

Important information for appeals:

* Any kind of appeal fraud will lead to a ban from appealing, and will most likely lead to a perma-block. This includes use of ChatGPT (as well as using any other software, bot etc that uses OpenAI technology), or any form of lying.
* Troll appeals will lead to an unappealable perma-block.
* To be considered for appeal, the block must have been issued at least 3 days prior.
* If you were blocked for a month or more, you are advised to wait at least a few weeks before appealing.
* Blocked alts may not be appealed, and other accounts which were not manually blocked may remain so since Fandom blocks specific IP addresses when blocking.
* You may only **successfully appeal a block once.** If you are blocked for a second time, you may not appeal.
