Cartoon Shows Community:Rules

This site will remain safe and peaceful as long as we follow the rules. This is why we have rules.

## All Users

1. **Don't vandalize.** Vandalism greatly damages pages' developments and we are more than welcome to revert any vandalism, and take actions against anyone that vandalizes, or encourages it.
	* Userpages (ie, profile pages) are off-limits to any editors aside from the home user, unless explicitly stated otherwise by the user.
2. **Do not post nonsense.** Any kind of content which has nothing to do with what makes cartoons unique (such as excessive amounts of non-cartoon content or information about a non-cartoon character) will be removed and you will receive a warning.
3. **Make your fanfic original.** Do not copy content from someone else without permission unless you have **proper consent**. If any source of plagiarism is detected, you will receive a warning. Unless you change your fanfic to make it original, it will be removed within 24 hours.
4. **Do not steal OCs.** Stealing an OC and claiming it as your own is despicable. Unless you have their permission, you may not use another person's OC for any project.
5. **Don't spam.** Spam is harmful, and will flood the wiki activity. Spamming also makes it hard to view other contributions made on the wiki.
6. **Don't use profanity.** Profanity is rather disrespectful on this wiki, and you may be blocked as a consequence.
	* **EXCEPTIONS:** Light swear words (like piss, hell, bastard, damn,...) are allowed when not directed at or toward another user.
	* Profanity **can't** be censored, by neither omission (sh\*t, \*sshole, etc.) nor the use of the spoiler text template. These will still be treated as profanity.
7. **Don't abuse multiple accounts (sockpuppets).** While blocked, this could extend the length of your block. However for **unblocked** users, sockpuppets are allowed under heavy stipulations.
	* Every system of socks must have an established main account.
	* Any socks, for any purpose, must be linked to on the user's main account.
	* Every sock must also link back to the main account.
	* Whenever any account is blocked, every sock is blocked indefinitely.
8. **Create an account with an appropriate username.** Referencing sexual messages, hate speech, another contributor, or otherwise hurtful or distracting usernames is prohibited.
9. **Don't excessively backseat moderate people (mini-modding)**. You may tell a vandal to stop once, but if continued, you must tell an admin. This will be over-looked if your actions were in good faith.
10. **Don't reveal all personal information.** Do not reveal your credit card number, social security number, address (where you live), your password, and phone number. In case of an accidental reveal, please contact an administrator to remove it as soon as possible.
11. **Don't post adult content into this wiki**. This wiki is meant to be read by people of all ages. Bomb threats, drug use, gore, and pornography will not be tolerated.
12. **Don't discriminate people based on race, creed, color, gender, age, religion, sexual orientation, identity, or disability.**This hurts the contributors, and creates social conflicts.
13. **Don't start or be involved in edit wars.** We want the community to get along with each other. Edit warring is when 2 or more users are undoing each other's edits. People who are involved in edit warring (it doesn't matter who started it) will be blocked for a few days. To prevent one, just simply report the situation to an active administrator (if there's one) and just wait for them to sort it out.
14. **Personal attacks and otherwise cruel actions are not allowed.** Whether a user is blocked or not, you have no right to be rude towards them at all.
15. **Don't flame, bait or otherwise intimidate users.** Not only does this create social conflicts between users, but it also makes the user targeted look bad, along with the account responsible for the attack.
16. **Don't use offensive jokes.** Some users may take these jokes personally, and they may be upset by them. If you do joke, specify before a social conflict is created over it.
	* **Triggered jokes are counted towards offensive jokes. Don't use them.**
17. **Don't impersonate other users.** Attempting to use a username, or make edits attempting to mock the targeted user is discouraged, and your account may be blocked indefinitely.
18. **Don't spread rumors or gossip about other users.** Also known as drama, this may flood the wiki activity, and may humiliate the targeted user(s).
19. **Try to use English-language content.** This wiki uses the English language, native or learned, at almost all times, day and night. Spamming or using other language content or characters is prohibited in comments, chat, or page edits.
20. **Don't advertise.** Same with spamming, advertising is forbidden.
21. **Copyrighted non-cartoon pages are disallowed.** They aren't related to cartoon shows, so they don't need to be here.
22. **Hurt and Heal minigames must have a cooldown of at least 2 hours.**
23. **Free-Add Comics are not allowed on this wiki effective from April 22, 2021. If anyone is caught they will be punished.**
24. **Roleplaying with non-cartoon shows has been banned since July 1, 2021.**

## Users with Adminstrative Powers

1. **Use the powers correctly.**
2. **Be a good example.** As an administrator, not only protecting your wiki, you need to be a good example for other users to learn and might become a skilled and responsible administrator like you.
3. **Follow the promotion rules.**
* Earning rights is not always easy. To earn it, you must ask one of the bureaucrats in his/her talk page and not to promote instantly, the requested person will be voted by responses, "Support", or "Oppose". The requested person must have more "Support" responses than "Oppose" responses. If 2 weeks have passed, depended on which votes, the requested person will earn some special rights if they have 60% of the "Support" responses.
* To be a rollback, you must have 75 edits overall, and 30 mainspace edits.
* To be a chat moderator, you must have 200 edits overall, and 75 mainspace edits.
* To be an administrator, you must have 600 edits overall, and 150 mainspace edits.
* To be a bureaucrat, you must have 1,200 edits overall, and 400 mainspace edits.

* Abusing the powers can cause a demotion. This is also the case if they don't follow the rules above.

## Mods

This is a list of all moderators in this wiki. If you are blocked by one of them, or have some problems or questions, you can go to their talk page, and ask them about it. Remember to look at their Activity column, too, as some of them might not response to your message because they are inactive! Crossed-out ~~name~~ are mods who have been demoted, and will be removed from this list in the future.### Administrators
