Wiki Rules

## Disclaimers & Reminders

This section will be brief as it will summarize the important things that you need to know and must not ever forget in order to avoid getting yourself into these situations.

Anyway, here's the list of things to go over first before reviewing our wiki's rules and consequences:

* Anything regarding our wiki rules that need some further explanations will be explained on the Fiction-Mayhem's FAQ page
* Any **regular member** who continuously violate the wiki rules after a reasonable amount of warnings was already given will warrant themselves a **temporary or permanent ban**
* Any **staff member** who continuously violate the wiki rules after a reasonable amount of warnings was already given will warrant themselves a **temporary or permanent demotion** from their current staff position
* 2 warnings will be given for the minor rules
* 1 **final warning** will be given for the zero tolerance rules unless any member (both staff and non-staff) are confirmed to have committed or be directly involved with illegal actions in any way, shape, or form for these type of rule violations in which is only then would the opportunity to receive final warnings will not apply and be revoked for these cases
* Violating a rule in a discussion thread while also stonewalling the staff at the same time after they warned you to stop **will not only cost you 2 warnings but it will also be considered as a final warning**, so we highly suggest that you do not continue this in any future discussion threads you are involved in as it will lead to an inevitable ban
	+ The same logic also applies for any problematic staff member as well and this will inevitably warrant an equal and fairly justified punishment if this abusive action is done in a consecutive and/or consistent manner
* Keep in mind that if a ban or demotion you receive only last for a **temporary** amount of time, then the best advice to you and for everyone else that you know of to not try to find ways to make the situation more worse than it already needs to be since anything that is considered as a major problem being deliberately caused by you or the people who are associated with you will lead to your ban duration receiving an extension or your demotion becoming **permanent**
* Regarding Rule #6 "**No Perversions**," the victim and/or witness must provide **photographic evidence** of the entire chat log, including **explicit images** (which will be reviewed privately by the Staff Team) that was directly sent from the suspected individual (defendant) to the minor (victim) for this accusation to fall under this rule violation.

If no explicit images were sent in the chat logs and this was being done in text messages only, then otherwise the rule violation falls under "**Sexual Harrassment**" under rule #3 "**No Wrongdoing**." Depending on the circumstances involved for these type of cases, there are exceptions to where anecdotal evidence from reliable eyewitnesses can be accepted.

* All members who previously caused consistent controversy in "Discussions" towards other members, has never contributed to the wiki, or are blacklisted **will not receive second chances** for this rule violation.
* The defendant must be voted against unanimously by the **majority** of the staff team before it can be decided on making the ban permanent.
	+ However, if the votes by the staff team are tied, then the votes will be decided by the members of the community.
