Guidelines

Below is a set of rules to follow when editing this wiki. Please follow these or you will be given a warning. If you repeatedly break these rules after multiple warnings, you will get a temporary block. The duration of these blocks depend on the severity of the offense committed, but if it’s a very serious affair, you might possibly get a permanent block, forever.

## **Rules**

1. Our staff are responsible for keeping this community safe. Please follow the directions of Moderators, Administrators, and Bureaucrats. You will be banned for disrespecting or demeaning staff for warnings.
2. Every user is responsible for helping keep our community safe. If a user is violating the guidelines, notify a moderator, admin, or bureaucrat on their message wall. Do not engage in misbehavior, submit unwarranted reports, or the same report multiple times.
3. Do not use inappropriate language. Using figurative speech, symbols, phrases, or different languages to censor them are also prohibited. Please indicate warnings of profanity used when sharing certain media, such as videos. Words such as "**idiot**", "**damn**", "**hell**", "**crap**", "**stupid**", "**jesus christ**", and "**dumb**" are permitted unless used to demean another user.
4. Privacy is our priority. Please do **NOT** share or ask others for personal information. This includes ages, passwords, addresses, phone numbers, birth certificates, etc. Sharing certain information, such as your age, is allowed, and is an **optional** choice. Furthermore, do not reveal or search for any personally identifiable information of others (doxing). This will result in an infinite block and is subject to further consequences with Fandom.
5. Be respectful to other users and staff. Do not insult, demean, or harass them. Swearing/slang directed at other users is not permitted. Racism, homophobia, sexism, or religious attacks are not permitted. Do not maliciously offend others or discriminate against groups of people. Slurs of any kind will result in an immediate block. Users partaking in hate groups or hate speech that especially violates the Guidelines will be permanently blocked.
6. Do not attempt to share, upload, or advertise pornographic material, offensive content, or illegal content. NSFW (inappropriate/suggestive/offensive content) and anything higher than PG-13 is not welcome here.
7. Controversial topics, such as religion or politics are prohibited to avoid heated arguments. This wiki is not the place to preach.
8. Do not beg for moderator/administrator/bureaucrat rights. These rights are based off of responsibility and frequent activity of the wiki. You can request rights, but harassing staff for them will result in a block.
9. Do not minimod. This is when a user who is not a mod/admin/bureaucrat/rollback/etc, tries to take authority of a staff role they do not acquire.
10. Promotion of self harm or harm towards others will result in a permanent block and is subject to further consequences with Fandom. This includes telling users to "kill themselves" or threatening to harm others. Additionally, all mentions of self harm or suicidal thoughts are prohibited and will result in a block. If you have suicidal thoughts, the wiki is NOT the place to get help. Seek professional help instead.
11. Do not impersonate others for any reason. This means when a user pretends to be someone else with or without malicious intent, and may claim to be a famous person or a user on the wiki.
12. Please refrain from engaging in cross-wiki drama. Issues pertaining to other communities, including bans, wiki changes, or conflicts must be handled on the appropriate wiki.

Commenting

1. Keep spam limited to blog posts, the Games Tent board, or a private chat. Keep comments on topic and relevant to the article/discussion.
2. Do not necropost. This is when a user comments on discussions over 30 days old. This rule does not apply to message wall threads.

Editing

1. Please read the Editing Guide and Category Rules, which are a further extension of the Editing rules in regards to what is acceptable when editing pages and the usage of categories. Contributions that do not abide by the listed rules will result in restriction from editing the wiki.
2. Do not advertise outside of the Advertisements board or your user profile.
3. Edit farming is prohibited. This means creating unnecessary edits for the sake of badges or a higher edit count.
4. Please use the appropriate categories per page and keep grammar at a decency when editing content. This means to make sure to check for spelling errors, use proper punctuation, and keep information neat and readable for viewers. Do not create unnecessary categories or categories that are irrelevant to the topic/article. Failure to do so will result in you being prohibited from editing content in the future.
5. Please do not include personal, subjective, or irrelevant information on pages, including user articles. Any information about users that are unrelated to Kart Kingdom will be removed and could result in you being prohibited from editing content in the future.
6. Vandalism is strictly prohibited and is subject to further consequences with Fandom. This includes spamming, inserting nonsense into pages, editing user content without permission, and removing relevant information from pages.

Accounts

2. Troll and disruption only accounts will be permanently blocked. This wiki is **NOT** the place to disrupt and disturb others.
3. Impersonation accounts will be permanently blocked. Posing as other people is against the rules.
4. Accounts containing offensive/suggestive usernames, profile photos, user profiles, message wall greetings, or masthead information will be permanently blocked. All accounts must abide by the guidelines.
