## Ban Evasion

Ban evasion is the act of circumventing a block by creating a new Fandom account and continuing your activity on a wiki you have been blocked on.

Should you be caught evading your block here on the wiki, your new account will be indefinitely blocked and the block on your main account will be extended. The number of times you evade your block can result in your main account being permanently blocked from the wiki.

## COPPA Violation

COPPA is an acronym for the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, a US Federal law enacted on October 21, 1998 and made effective on April 21, 2000. It limits the amount of personal information a website/online service operator can collect from people ages 13 and under. Parental consent is required before website/service operators can collect personal information. Unfortunately, verifying parental consent in an online setting is logistically difficult, so here on Fandom, users are required to be 13 years or older to make a Fandom account.

If you are under the age of 13, please get off Fandom ASAP until you've turned 13 years of age. Anyone who reveals themselves as an underage user can and will be reported to Fandom.

## Fandom Terms of Service Violations

Fandom Terms of Service, or Terms of Use, is a legally binding agreement made between Fandom and a user during the creation of a new Fandom account. Users are free to use the Fandom network as long as they exhibit the expected appropriate behavior outlined in the ToS/ToU. Should a user violate any clause outlined in Fandom's ToU, Fandom has the right to take away the user's privilege of using their platform in the form of a global block.

If you violate Fandom's ToU here on this wiki, you can and will be reported to Fandom. So, you better be on your best behavior.

## Global Block Evasion

Global blocks are given to users who violate Fandom's ToU. When a user is globally blocked, they are unable to access any and all wikis across the Fandom network, and must wait out the duration of the global block before they can return to the Fandom platform. However, in some cases, users may get permanently blocked from the Fandom network for serious ToU violations.

Just like any ordinary local block, users are expected to stay off of Fandom during the duration of their global block. However, some users will evade their global block by creating a new Fandom account and continuing on with their business. If you are found to be evading your global block here on the wiki, you can and will be reported to Fandom. And just like with a normal local block evasion, the number of times you evade your global block will extend the global block on your main account and will result in a permanent global block.
