Wiki Rules

Here are all **Shwabbpedia** **Rules** and what they bear if you go around them. Also, do not take the ones that are job-related too seriously.

## Editing, content, and chat rules

### Rule 1: Don't spam or vandalize pages.

If you do so, you will be blocked. First case - one week block. Second case - two week block. Third case - one month block. Fourth case or more - more than 2 months (depends on the level of spamming).

### Rule 2: Don't put in and delete a piece of page to gain points.

If you do so, you will be blocked. First case - one week. Second case - two week block. Third case - one month block. Fourth case or more - more than two months (depends on the amount of false edits).

### Rule 3: Don't make useless blogs, pages, or polls.

To improve the wiki, everything you do must be not only to gain points, but also to help the wiki at first place. If you make blogs, pages, or polls that have misinformation, spam, or nothing at all, the object will be deleted and you will be blocked. First case - warning about the case and what next cases will lead to. Second case - one day block. Third case - two day block. Fourth case and next - one week block.

### Rule 4: Don't paste in inappropriate text, images, videos, or templates.

We want our wiki to be free of inappropriate (NSFW, anime, joke content, unrelated, etc) stuff so everyone can use it. If you make or paste inappropriate text, images, videos, or templates, you will be blocked and the object will be deleted. First case - warning about the case and what next cases will lead to. Second case - one day block. Third case - two day block. Fourth case and next - one week block.

### Rule 5: Don't rollback a page to previous version without permission (for rollbacks and content moderators).

If you do not have a permission to rollback a page but you do so, you will be blocked. First case - one day block. Next cases - 1 week each.

### Rule 6: Don't change user's rights without permission (for bureaucrats).

Being a bureaucrat doesn't mean that you can freely change user's ranks and rights. It means that you are responsible for doing this when you have permission. If you do change someone's rights without permission, the user you granted the right to will be back to what he was again. Also, you will be blocked. First case - one week block. Second case - two week block. Third case - one month block. Fourth case and next ones - **one year block**.

### Rule 7: Don't change the page protection without permission (for content moderators).

If you change page protection without an administrator's permission, you will be blocked. First case - warning. Second case - one day block. Third case - one week block. Fourth case and more - one month block.

### Rule 8: Ban users from chat only when it is needed (for chat moderators and discussion moderators).

Being a chat moderator or discussion moderator, you can freely kick out or unban the users from chat. But, you can ban users only if they write misinformation, inappropriate content, or offensive words. If they do not do so but you ban them, you will be blocked for one day every time.

### Rule 9: No bullying, toxicity, and raiding.

If you break this rule, you will get a **permanent block,** meaning you can't edit enymore forever. To continue working in this wiki project, you should request for alternative account.

### Rule 10: No swearing.

By swearing in chat, you will get a **permanent ban**. By swearing in blogs, discussions, polls, or comments, the objects will be deleted and you will be blocked for 1 week each time.

### Rule 11: Don't paste untrusted links.

If you paste a link you don't trust, you are possibly putting the wiki including yourself in danger. To prevent this, the link will be deleted and the user will be blocked for [amount of cases] weeks (i.e. if you have 2 cases, you will be blocked for 2 weeks). NSFW, malicious, and virus links count as untrusted links.

### Rule 12: No advertising other websites, wikis, or products.

First case - warning. Second case - one day block. Third case - two day block. Fourth case and next - one week block.

## User rules

### Rule 1: Inappropriate username or avatar

Having an inappropriate username or avatar, you will be blocked by one day. Also, you should change your name/avatar/both while being blocked. Otherwise, you will get an extra one week block.

### Rule 2: No alt-accounting

If you make an alternate account without the permission (which you gain if an administrator approves your reason to have another account), the account with least points will be **blocked permanently**.
