## **Chat- Room Rules**

### General

* **Do not enforce the rules on the chat.** This is commonly referred to as "mini-modding." Staff members of the wiki are appointed for this reason.
	+ If you a feel a user who is breaking rules is going unnoticed, please 'ping' (play a sound that notifies a user that they are wanted) a moderator by saying their full username or another one of their ping phrases. If a moderator does not respond within 30 seconds or so, use "!mods" to automatically notify all chat moderators and administrators in the chat room.
		- Please know that if you use the "!mods" command for a reason other than gaining the attention of a moderator or administrator to deal with a rule breaker or using the command too often, you may be kicked or banned from the chat depending on the situation or amount of use the command has seen.
* PM is mostly a no-rule zone, however if you are found to be harassing and/or sending NSFW content without consent from the other user with evidence from them, is grounds for a ban or block.
* Certain chat tags such as colored text and italics are alright to use past 6 words, however, if a moderator thinks that you are abusing them you will need to stop.
* Linking to any dangerous or inappropriate websites will result in a two week ban minimum.
	+ Linking to jump-scares will result in an immediate day ban minimum.
* Using false evidence or spreading malicious lies about another user will result in a kick or ban.
* If an admin or mod feels like a user is purposefully trying to disrupt the chat, troll or purposefully upset other users, they may issue a warning followed by a kick and eventually a ban.

### **Vulgar Language**

* **Light swear words (such as hell, damn, ass, piss, bastard, etc.) are allowed when not directed at another user.** Excessive usage or usage of these or usage of stronger cuss words such as the F-Bomb or S-Bomb will result in a no-warning kick followed by a ban.
	+ Swear abbreviations (such as wt\*, st\*u, lm\*ao, etc), certain swear substitutes, and abbreviations that can be translated into cuss words is treated as though the swear had been said.

### **NSFW And Sexual Content**

* **NSFW (not safe for work, or things you don’t want to be seen looking at in school or work) is not permitted to be discussed or linked to in main chat.** If you are unsure if what you are about to link is NSFW or not, please send a link to a staff member in PM to make sure.
	+ Mild innuendos or jokes are allowed in moderation.

### **Controversial Topics**

* Be courteous. While it is suggested you avoid topics that make others uncomfortable (politics, religion, mortality, ect), if you do discuss these topics do so in a polite, respectful manner. If staff requests or another user states they are uncomfortable and asks that you stop talking about such topics, stop or take it to PM.

### **Advertising Wikis and Websites**

* **Linking to other wiki chats is not allowed in main chat.**
* Advertising to view your Lakewood Plaza Turbo content on other websites is fine.

## **Block policy**

* A staff member is within their right as a guardian of this Wiki to block any users being harmful or disruptive.

In the event of a misunderstanding or misinterpretation, we allow for the user who received the block to testify their block to an administrator, who will then discuss it with the other admins to see if it truly was a mistake.

To testify your block, proof must be shown that the user was being abusive or that it was a misunderstanding. Preferably, a screen shot or other form of evidence should be provided, failure to do so will make your claim null and void, and may even get your account blocked or the ban extended for spreading false information.

### **For Staff Members**

* When a user has been warned three times, they are to be banned for an appropriate amount of time, usually one to three days for minor rule warnings.
* When a user has been warned and blocked previously but pursue breaking a previously broken rule, they are to be banned for a longer period of time.
	+ This would continue stacking in block time if the user pursues breaking that rule.
* If a user is being warned and has been blocked recently, if the rules being broken are not the same or alike then they are to be banned for an appropriate amount of time.
