	1. Do not insult or bait the Fandom Staff: **1 week block, possible global block**
	2. Do not make fun of a user's depression/mental health: **1 week block**

4. Do not express your own opinions for self glorification in Wikis or else a warning
5. **DO NOT MINI-MOD**. This means acting like an admin/chatmod even though you aren't one. If a person isn't behaving, tell the admins, they will resolve the issue, you don't need to type in all caps at them. **Punishment: Warning**
6. Do not send false reports. The admins in this wiki volunteer at their job and you wasting their time is not helping anyone. Attempting to report a staff member to the VSTF wiki because you are upset about being banned also counts. **Punishment: 1 month per false report.**
7. Treat other users (especially staff) with respect. If your actions, despite not breaking any previously mentioned rules, have been deemed unacceptable by the admins (Ex: Sarcasm, Satire), you may be punished. **Punishment: Warning, then a one day block, increasing by two days for every violation.**

## Editing/Making Pages or Uploading Images

1. When uploading an image of a countryball, make sure the countryball doesn't use circle-tool, line-tool, curve tool, brush tool and copy-paste. The exception to this is if it is your Wiki avatar, although it is discouraged.
2. If you upload an image, comic, or artwork that was made by another user (Wikia, Reddit, etc.) other than yourself, please give credit to that user in the image's description.
3. Vandalizing is not allowed in any way or form. **Punishment: Depends on how bad the vandalism was**
4. Edit warring on any pages is not allowed. **Punishment: Depends on how bad the situation was**
5. You can't make a custom page

	2. Zanzoun1, Brodorbis and/or the people who are confirmed to have a wiki account are allowed to edit
6. Do not add spam/duplicate categories. **Punishment: Warning**
7. Only wiki moderators can change the gender of a countryball. **Punishment: Warning**
8. If you would like to become an active contributor to this Wiki, get a single account with which to do it, or at the very least a single IP. Getting more than 1 violates Fandom policy. Constantly changing your IP to get around bans also violates Fandom policy. **Punishment: Permanent ban on all alt acounts and a 3-day ban on original account**

	* Political ideas hate (against communism, against capitalism, against libertarianism, ...)
	* Ultra-nationalism ("my country is stronk and must remove all other inferior countries or something")
