	+ ➣ If a user is revealed to be underage, please contact, with **proper evidence**, an *administrator* to report the user right away.

* ➣ Vandalism on the wiki is **strictly *prohibited***.

* ➣ The use of alternative accounts is **not** tolerated.

	+ ➣ If you are caught *"sockpuppeting"* (using multiple accounts to bypass rules or bans), there will be a harsher punishment.
* ➣ For actions to be taken against a user, **proper** evidence must be given to an administrator or chat moderator.
* ➣ If an admin has been inactive for a long period of time, they might be *demoted*.

* ➣ This Wikia is dedicated to the canon content of Renai Boukun. Please refrain from adding any fan-created content such as fanart, fanfictions, etc.
* ➣ Any picture such as a screenshot, an artwork, etc. must be in the **highest** quality possible.

	+ ➣ This means **no .jpg/.jpeg images, no images of small size, no photo of a TV screen or computer monitor, etc.** Images must be in .png format with the highest quality possible.
	+ ➣ If you are unable to find an image in good quality, please contact an admin for assistance or just don't upload the image at all.
* ➣ Constant edit fighting or constant vandalism to pages will cause them to be **protected**.

	+ ➣ Incidentally, if a page has just recently been unprotected, please ask an administrator before editing.
* ➣ Please read your edits **thoroughly** and **double check** *grammar and spelling* before submitting your edits.
* ➣ Do not make useless edits for the sake of increasing your edit count/badges. (Examples: Changing "Don't" to "Do not", or reverting edits with no explanation, etc.)
* ➣ Any user can create new pages, but before making a new page, users should understand that they shouldn't create articles for things that are very minor or for things that the user barely knows anything about.

	+ ➣ If the created page has barely any information, the "Stub" template may be added to let users know to add more information.
* ➣ Please use *formal language* while writing articles. This is a Wikia, not a blog.
* ➣ It is **prohibited** to edit other user's profiles without their permission. Users may request for their user page to be protected if it has been vandalized, or if they just want to prevent future vandalism.

* ➣ **No** *flame-baiting* or *flame war* comments. This means do not purposefully start an argument with someone to get a reaction out of them.
* ➣ **No** attacking others' personal opinions via comments, they will be removed and *sanctions* will be applied.
* ➣ **Avoid** walls of text when possible, unless it is truly needed to get your point across.
* ➣ **No** spam or junk comments of any nature.

**These rules apply to the chat room:**

* ➣ *Any abuse* towards users e.g. sexism or racism will result in a **kick or a ban** if repeated.

	+ ➣ *Abuse* to admins or chat mods will also result in a **harsher punishment**.

	+ ➣ You are also **not** allowed to link to another Wikia's chatroom.
* ➣ *Pornography* of any kind is strictly **prohibited**.

* ➣ **No** chain mail. If you do this, you will automatically be kicked.
* ➣ If an admin or chat mod asks you to *leave* the chat, **do so without arguing**.

**If a rule is broken, *sanctions* will be applied. Depending on the severity of disobedience to any of these rules, the harshness of the consequence will vary.**

== Minor Rule Breaking: ==

The breaking of these rules do not have as harsh of a punishment, but all users are still expected to obey them.

* ➣ First Offense: A brief warning which explains which rule has been broken.
* ➣ Second Offense: Depending on which rule is broken, you may receive a second warning, or a short ban.
* ➣ Third Offense: If you continue after the second warning you will receive a long ban. If you continue after the short ban you may be banned permanently.

== Major Rule Breaking: ==

The breaking of these rules have a much harsher punishment.

* ➣ First Offense: Depending on which rule is broken, you may receive a warning or a potential ban.
* ➣ Second Offense: A permanent ban. It is also possible for you to get a permanent ban as a first offense.

== Chat Rule Breaking: ==

Since the rules on the chat differ from the normal rules, the consequences are also different.

* ➣ First Offense: A brief warning describing which rule you have broken. Depending on the rule broken you may get kicked off the chat.
* ➣ Second Offense: A kick from the chat.
* ➣ Third Offense: A temporary or permanent ban.
