FSC - The Official Agency Wiki Rules

The rules and guidelines of the FSC Wiki are listed down below. Breaking these rules will result in punishments ranging from a warning to a block, depending on the severity of the situation. When a new user joins, please show them this page. If you have any questions about the rules, please ask a staff member.

## Rules

### Main Wiki Rules

* **Swearing is not tolerated.** Censored swears are okay, but try your best to not curse and do not swear that often.
	+ These swear words are allowed: damn, dang, goddamn, hell, heck, crap, damnit, WTF, WTH, frick, TF, stupid, dumb, idiot, halfwit/dimwit/nitwit, dingus, moron, badass, jackass, bigot, sexy, and Lmao.

* Do not make rumour and drama posts.
* Follow FANDOM's Terms of Use, especially the minimum age limit of 13+.
* Do not discuss controversial topics. They will anger users.
* Do not delete warnings. You will just get another warning in place of that.
* Racism, sexism, fatphobia, and homophobia are not allowed here.
* Any account named after a banned user will be banned immediately.
* **Respect everyone!** We're all human.
* **Art theft and plagiarism is not allowed!** If you want to show art, make sure that piece has a watermark.
* Do not spam upvote someone's post. It will annoy the user and you will get a warning. The upvote button is only for showing the person you like their content.
* Do not talk about any current, global events. These are things that users would rather not remember.
* Do not beg for staff. It will just decrease your chance of becoming one.
* **No NSFW or any explicit content!**
* Do not respond to article comments that are more than a month old! It will annoy the users who have followed the comment. The comment will be automatically locked after thirty days.
	+ For discussion posts, do not respond to posts that haven't had a reply for **five days**! Once you **necropost**, the post will be locked.
* Do not badge grind! Badge grinding means removing content, just to add them back later.
* Do not guilt-trap other users!
* Do not ask for users' age, unless you have permission from a staff member.
* Do not complain about being banned from other wikis! This is not a place to whine and vent.
* Do not add content to other users' page without their permission.
	+ Their user page is for them and them only and your user page is only for you. Regular users are allowed to edit another user's page, if the other user asked for it.
* Warnings are given for small offenses, such as starting drama or vandalism. It will take three warnings for a block.
* Severe offenses will result in an immediate block, such as abusing multiple accounts.
	+ Notices are given out for tiny offenses, such as being aggressive to a new user or making a post that is against rules.
* Do not put any posts in the 'Announcement' category. That category is exclusive to staff members only.

### Editing Rules

* Do not add irrelevant pictures to pages, such as pictures that are not related to the FSCs.
* Do not make a new page or add categories to pages, without the consent of the staff team.
* Do not announce that you made an edit (Announcements about editing multiple things (minimum 5 points) are allowed.)
* Do not create any pages for your personal issues. Go to a therapist, they will help. If you want to talk about your personal issues, make discussion posts.
* Do not make pages about content that have an assigned page.
* Please try to use proper grammar and punctuation when editing a page.
* Do not delete a page's infobox. That's the TL;DR of pages for users who don't have the time or patience to read the whole page.
* Do not add something back that a staff member has removed, unless told. The staff are the ones keeping the wiki stable. If they delete something, it has a good reason. If you disagree with their edit, then leave a message on their message wall.
* Do not delete the entire information of the whole page. It will result in a one month ban.
* **All articles must be written in English.** This wiki consists of an English-speaking community and all edits are expected to be in English. If you don't speak English and want to edit something, write what you want and translate it to English. Try to avoid complex wording. All pages should be easy for users to understand, even by those you have a decent level of English.
* **Vulgar language and profanity is not allowed on articles, forums, discussions, and anywhere else!** First-time offenders will be given a warning.

### Discussion Rules

* **No external links!** The only allowed links are ones to articles, discussion posts, comments, messages, blogs, or user pages. Although, these are allowed:
	+ Links to YouTube videos, except for Rick Roll videos and those with vulgar language and profanity
	+ Link to the Official FSC Discord
* **No discrimination of any sort!** This will result in an instant one month ban.
* Do not make any jokes or posts about current, global events since this can start drama and conflicts in the community.
* Be polite to users you are messaging. Do not be rude!
* Do not mass-ping or spam messages on someone's message wall. It gives users many, many notifications and they won't like it.
* Please make posts that have more than five words.
* Please do not make posts that have no point to them.
* Please use discussion categories correctly.
	+ General: Posts for things related to FSC.
	+ Off-Topic: Posts for anything else.
	+ Announcements: Posts for important things.
* Posts aiming for attention are not tolerated. If posted, they will be deleted and reposting a couple of them will result in a warning.
* Use tags on discussion posts appropriately. Don't add tags that have nothing to do with your post.

### Final Rule

* Don't find loopholes to break the rules.
