Rules

Please keep basic internet safety in mind while using our wiki, and don't share personal identifying information (full name, location, etc.) or upload photos of yourself. If someone is acting strange towards you or asking for personal information, report it to a moderator!

### Follow Fandom's Terms of Use. These are the standard rules for using Fandom, and apply across all wikis.

If you are under 13, you can't join the wiki. We understand that this might not make much sense, but it is a Fandom decision and out of our hands.

We do not tolerate harassment, bigotry, guilt-tripping, bashing of others, or callout posts.

Do not use slurs, or direct derogatory or insulting language at other users.

Swearing is not permitted, you must sensor any and ALL swears.

Words we do not consider swears are crap, hell, pissed, and damn.

Mature content is not permitted, including sexual or suggestive content, nudity (including male or female nipples, even if censored), violent or gory images, depictions of suicide or self-harm, and discussion of real-life drug use (or explicit discussion of fictional drug use).

Discussion or links pertaining to mature content, or media containing significant amounts of mature content, are not permitted.

Political discussion is not permitted on our wiki, including the phrases "ACAB/1312" and "blue lives matter".

Respect copyright law. Only repost art that is free to use or with permission, and provide credit for art or bases you use, including in your icon.

Tracing art, claiming art you did not create as your own, and other forms of theft are not permissible.

Please keep in mind that if the mod team deems you a danger to the wiki based on off-wiki actions, you will be blocked. Contact moderators to address instances of rule violations. Attempting to resolve them yourself may result in a warning or block.

## Editing guidelines

Do not add false information, jokes, remove relevant content, or otherwise vandalize articles.

Do not make unhelpful or bad-faith edits.

These edits may include changing words to synonyms, adding content and then immediately removing it, adding words letter-by-letter, and a number of other inefficient or unnecessary edits.

If you feel a change needs to be made across many articles, please contact a content moderator or admin before attempting to implement this yourself.

## Discussions guidelines

Categorize your posts appropriately. Please do not place posts that fit perfectly into another category into General. If you have questions about what should be in what category, please contact a mod.

Please limit yourself to 3 or less posts per hour, to avoid flooding the feed.

Do not create posts or replies consisting entirely of meaningless/repeated phrases or gibberish; key-smashing to emote is fine in moderation.

Do not create vent posts, including vent art and writing; you may vent on a friend's message wall with their consent, but these posts are not appropriate for the general Discussions feed.

Posts may only be made in English on our wiki, as we are not equipped to moderate discussions in other languages.

Do not necropost; after two weeks of no replies, you should create a new post to continue the discussion rather than replying.

## Courtesies

Courtesies are policies that we expect our users to abide by to keep our wiki running smoothly and reduce conflict. While these are not rules and are not things you will be formally punished for, you may be reprimanded for ignoring them. These apply everywhere on our wiki.

Courtesy guides are formal guides assembled with community input to provide guidelines for specific policies or parts of our wiki.

### Moderator guidelines

Moderators are expected to follow the same rules as users. In addition, you are expected to carry yourself respectably and to enforce the rules fairly.

If you believe you've seen a moderator committing an act of power abuse (using their position to threaten or bully other users, blocking or warning someone without good reason, or acting on a personal bias to get someone in trouble) please report it to another moderator, preferably an admin or bureaucrat.

While it is not a hard and fast set of rules, moderators should follow the general times indicated in the Block Guidelines.

### Block guidelines

A user will generally receive between one and three warnings preceding a block. The number of warnings before a block is issued depends on the severity of the rule infractions, the time between warnings, and the general behavior of the user.

While we do not have strict block times for specific rule infractions, we do have some guidelines we follow when administering a block:

Did they violate Fandom's terms of use?

When Fandom's ToU are violated we forward the situation to Fandom staff, but will sometimes administer a local block as well to prevent the situation from escalating.

Did this rule violation hurt, or have the potential to hurt, others?

When a user violates a rule, we consider if the rule is in place to keep the wiki organized and running smoothly, or if it's in place to protect users. A rule violation that may hurt others, such as harassment, will generally receive a longer block than a violation such as spam.

Has this user been warned for this behavior before?

While we expect users to review all of our rules after receiving a warning, we do consider if an individual has been warned for a specific behavior, and will often prefer a second or third warning to a block if the first warning is very different in nature.

Was this user acting in good faith?

When issuing blocks, we consider whether or not a user was acting in good faith — that is, did they intend to break a rule or cause harm? Users with histories of good-faith interaction and editing may be given more lenient blocks, as we can more safely assume that their infraction was a mistake.

Has this user been blocked before?

A user with prior blocks may be subject to a longer block than usual, as this shows an unwillingness to abide by the rules.

Rule violations that result in an indefinite block include: use of derogatory or offensive language towards others, justification of atrocities, explicit sexual content, violent bigotry, suicide baiting or threats, and exclusively bad-faith contributions (trolling).
