### Forum Rules

Forums allow users to report problems on the wikia, vote on issues, or discuss topics about Haikyū!! Anyone is welcome to participate in discussions that are in the forums. Feel free to express your opinion as long as you respect other users.

1. However, please **do not**
	* *advertise* or try to sell something.
	* use the forums to ask for help at *another* wiki or website.

### Live!Chat Rules

The Live!Chat is a public chatroom that all registered Wiki users can use. In order to prevent any potential problems that may occur there, the following rules have been created:

1. No form of *spamming* is allowed.
2. Anything *illegal* (e.g. illegal sites) is obviously not allowed.
3. Exchanging personal information is allowed, but **highly discouraged** if the exchange is with a new user or contributor or is on the main chat-room. We are not responsible for the results that occur afterwards if one does the exchange.
4. *Bots* are not allowed on the chat-room.

### Voting Rules

In order to accurately represent the Haikyuu!! Wiki community in voting sessions, voting rules have been made to roll out *inactive* users as well as users that *do not* contribute to the Wiki. If not specified in the voting session post, the voting rules will be as follows:

1. Wiki users and contributors who wish to vote must have at least *five* edits, the earliest edit being done within the same *two* months of the date that the voting session post was posted.
2. A voter's votes must not be influenced by *invalid/unreasonable* causes such as personal relationships with other users.
3. A voter's accounts cannot be *inactive* or *banned*.
4. Wiki users and contributors can only vote *once*.
5. Voters are not allowed to *harass* other voters or *edit* other voters' votes.
6. Each vote must include a *valid* reasoning to back up the vote (usually 2-3 sentences at least).
7. *Cheating* is not allowed.

## Other Notes

* Please note that correcting the violation you've done before a consequence is administered will NOT prevent you from receiving the consequence corresponding to that violation.
* Please also note that we will not be responsible for any of the actions you do on this Wiki. However, we will be responsible for administering appropriate consequences to Wiki users with limits and regard to our power on our own Wiki grounds.

If any Wiki user or contributor witnesses another user breaking any of these rules and administrators fail to notice, please kindly correct them if possible and report the incident with a screenshot of the offense to an administrator.

Once again, if you have any questions, concerns, or comments about the rules, please leave your message on either the Talk page, the Contact us forum, or the Community Discussion Forum. Thank you for your cooperation again, Wiki Users and Contributors.
