Wiki Policies and Guidelines

Welcome to the Let the Sky Fall Wiki! We hope you all have a great time here. There is, however, as in most wikis, a list of rules, which will be enforced to the best of the ability of administration.

## Editing Policies

These are the rules regarding editing:

1. **No vandalism.** This one mostly speaks for itself - do not insert nonsense or unrelated content into pages. The consequences of this violation will depend on the severity of it.
2. **No non-factual edits.** Everyone loves fanfictions, but this is a factual wiki, and any non-factual (such as fanfictions or theories) or opinionated information (such as editing in a paragraph about why one character is better than another) in articles will be deleted.

## Behavior Expectation Policies

These are the rules regarding behavior expectations:

1. **Do not bully, disrespect, or intimidate other users.** This is another rule that speaks for itself, but it's probably one of the most important ones here. If you have been bullied by a user or have witnessed someone bullying another user, please contact an admin **immediately**.
2. **No swearing or inappropriate content.** With the exception of 'heck', all swearing, inappropriate conversation, and inappropriate images are not acceptable on this wiki. The consequences of this violation will depend on the severity of it.
3. **Be honest.** This is something that you should do no matter where you are, but especially when reporting violations. Do not blame a violation on someone who didn't do anything! This rule also applies to ban evasion - **IF YOU ARE BANNED ON THIS WIKI, DO NOT CREATE A SOCKPUPPET ACCOUNT. SUCH ACCOUNTS WILL BE BANNED IMMEDIATELY.**
4. **No opinion-bashing.** Please do not disparage a character if you don't like him/her. This does not mean you can't have your own opinions, just please make sure you state them in a polite and civil way. (For example, if you don't like Solana, don't say something like "Solana is so stupid!!". Instead, say something polite, like "I don't really like Solana quite as much as some of the other characters, she can be a little bit frustrating at times.". :))

These rules are some of the most important, and will probably result in more serious consequences than editing violations.

## Discussion Policies

These are the rules regarding discussions (this includes comments, message walls, Live Chat, etc.). **All behavior expectation policies apply in discussions**, but there is one other as well:

1. **No spamming.** This is yet another rule that speaks for itself. Do not spam unnecessary messages in LC, write multiple random, unnecessary comments, write unnecessary long comments, or use the <big> tag multiple times to make giant letters that block buttons and links and make the website unusable. The consequences of this violation will depend on the severity of it.

## Moderating/Consequences

These are the consequences for violations. Depending on the severity of some violations, this process may be accelerated.

### Warnings/Blocking:

**First Warning**

This is your first warning for violating a minor rule. Please consult the Wiki Policies and Guidelines for more information, and please view the information below for a description of the violation. Thank you.

For a minor offense, you will receive a first warning on your message wall.

**Second Warning**

This is either your second warning for violating a minor rule or a more serious violation of a rule. Please consult the Wiki Policies and Guidelines for more information, and please view the information below for a description of the violation. If you violate a rule again, it may result in a temporary blocking. Thank you.

If you violate another rule, you will receive a second warning.

**1-7 Day Block**

You have been blocked for 1-7 days because of repeated offenses or a more serious offense. **This is temporary.** Please consult the Wiki Policies and Guidelines for more information, and please view the information below for a description of the violation and duration. Thank you.

If you violate again you will be blocked from 1 day to a week, depending on the severity.

**1-4 Week Block**

You have been blocked for 1-4 weeks due to a more serious offense. Please consult the Wiki Policies and Guidelines for more information, and please view the information below for a description of the violation and duration of blocking. Thank you.

If you violate after that, your second blocking could be anywhere from a week to a month.

**1-6 Month Block**

You have committed a serious rule violation, and will be blocked for 1-6 months. Please consult the Wiki Policies and Guidelines for more information, and please view the information below for a description of the violation and duration of blocking. Thank you.

If you continue to violate then you will be blocked anywhere from 1-6 months.

**Permanent Ban**

You have either refused to listen to multiple violation warnings or have broken a very serious rule, and therefore are banned permanently. Please view the information below for a description of the violation. Thank you.

Permanent bans will only happen if you have violated rules multiple times or have committed a very serious violation.

### **Debating a Punishment**

*If you believe that a warning or punishment received is unfair or illogical you may politely tell an administrator (preferably the administrator who originally gave the warning or punishment). If after you protest to a moderator you still disagree with the consequences you may object to an Owner of this Wiki. When an Owner finalizes a decision it is final. No further arguments may be made on that topic.*

## Conclusion

Thank you for reading, and have a wonderful rest of your day!
