Mutafukaz Wiki Blocking Policy

The wiki's Blocking Policy serves as a guideline for what is and isn't a bannable offense. This is to clarify the expected conduct of the wiki's users and admins, and to prevent abuse of power by having standard policies.

### Things that will earn you a ban:

* **Vandalism:** An unambiguous attempt to destroy or radically change the contents of an article, regardless if it's done out of anger or as "a joke", will result in an immediate, month long ban. If this is done three times by the same user, the third ban will be permanent.
* **Nonsensical or disruptive edits:** Similar to vandalism, but less severe. Adding baseless information or descriptions that do nothing but distract from the main point of the article is not welcome. If you do this, you will be asked to stop. If you ignore these warnings and continue making disruptive edits to pages, you will be banned for a week (3 edits will be tolerated before action is taken). If this behaviour continues after returning, you will receive another warning, and a month long ban if not heeded. Every subsequent ban will last a month.
* **Spam and fanfiction:** Same as disruptive edits. Pages created for non-existent characters will be immediately deleted. Save your OCs and made-up relationships for AO3 and Wattpad.
* **Use of racial and ableist slurs:** While the characters of Mutafukaz are quite liberal with their use of derogatory language, that doesn't mean you get to throw around the n-word here. Slurs used in the comments or in the body of an article, outside of the context of quotations, will result in a week long ban. Every subsequent offense will get a month long ban.
* **Aggression and harassment:** Personally insulting or attacking people in the comments of an article will result in your comment being deleted and a warning being issued. If the behaviour continues, you will be banned for a week. Repeated, vitriolic attacks will result in a month long ban.
* **Sexually explicit content:** While Mutafukaz has many sexual themes, descriptions of them should be kept simple. We are here to provide short, concise and relevant information, not to write softcore erotica. Violation of this will lead to a warning, and if there are multiple cases of repeat behaviour, a week long ban.
* **Violating these guidelines and abuse of power:** If an admin is found banning large amounts of users for frivolous reasons, without adhering to this list or otherwise giving an explanation for their actions, they will be demoted and possibly banned, depending on the severity of the abuse of their power.

*Given the subjective nature of many of these conditions, I encourage you to reach out to admins and dispute decisions which seem illegitimate.*

### Things that will NOT earn you a ban:

* **Questioning an admin about administrative decisions:** Admins should always show a degree of openness to discussing the reasons behind a ban or reprimand. Admins shouldn't ban people simply for "pestering them" or "questioning their authority". We also make mistakes, and should be open to receiving constructive criticism.
* **Bad grammar and spelling:** If the information contributed is accurate and relevant, issues with the quality of writing are trivial. If the edit is done in good faith, these minor mistakes will be fixed by other contributors. Given the small size of this community, we should encourage participation even when users struggle with English or aren't used to a formal style of writing.
* **Bad formatting:** Same as above. The quality of the information contributed takes precedent over visual neatness.
* **Absence of sources for minor claims:** pieces of Trivia and claims which could be considered contentious should generally have sources mentioned, preferably linked. However, the lack of sources doesn't immediately mean the contributor is malicious or making stuff up. At most, the edit will be removed if not properly substantiated.
