All users of this wiki are required to abide by these guidelines.
Guidelines
Basic Guidelines
- Respect everyone; stop means stop.
- The Fandom ToS requires users to be 13+. Everyone here is free to report to Fandom if a user violates the Terms of Use.
- Do not share your age if you are under 16+ due to COPPA regulations.
- Do not use racial slurs or any language that communicates the promotion of discrimination or is discriminatory in itself.
- Do not expose or share personal information on either yourself or others.
- All content on the wiki should be age appropriate, meaning PG-13 or lower. If not, please flag the article the proper rating.
- Please review these pages: w:c:Help:Vandalism, and the "Internet Troll" Wikipedia article.
- Be aware that SPAM (silly pointless annoying messages) is not allowed. This also includes messages like "repost this or you will die", or blatant nonsense.
- Use correct grammar.
General Guidelines
- No swearing is acceptable; anything deemed a swear or curse by staff is automatically considered a swear or curse. All forms of it will be removed or edited out by discussions, chat, and content moderators. Swearing will result in a notice for the first offense, and warnings for subsequent offenses. This rule is not affected by post-exo-facto permission. There are no exceptions to this rule.
- Your username may not contain cursing, hate, or spam.
- Fandom's Terms of Use apply here.
- Respect everyone; stop means stop.
- Do not encourage unjust harassment of others in any form.
- Vandalism, Silly Pointless or Annoying Messages (SPAM), or unsolicited advertisements are all strictly prohibited.
- Do not maliciously troll, harass, or otherwise purposefully harangue other users or disrupt their experience.
- Impersonation is not allowed. Impersonation involves stating or pretending that you are another person, but you are not.
- Do not share private information, and do not solicit private information. If you ever feel like you are being forced to share information you do not wish to share without a good reason, report it. Private information includes full names, age (unless you are comfortable with sharing it), email addresses that may reveal sensitive information, personal photographs of yourself, or anything else that could identify you outside of the internet.
Behavior Guidelines
- Please do not necropost. This means posting on a thread that hasn't been used in two weeks or more, without providing any valuable additions to the discussion.
- Please do not intentionally stir up and/or spread drama.
- Do not share hacked accounts or ask for your Prodigy account to be hacked. When you share an account, whether it's an alt or main, you expose personal information such as your grade (and possibly age), name (if you use it), and your IP address (which applies to all accounts).
Editing Guidelines
- Unless the user allows it, do not edit another user's fan work(s) unless you're just fixing formatting/spelling issues. It is their property, not yours.
- The use of links on content articles and other pages that send users directly to explicit content is not allowed.; these additions will be rolled back, removed in a manual edit, or otherwise undone.
Image & Video Policy
- All media on the wiki should be age appropriate, meaning PG-13 or lower. If not, please flag the article the proper rating.
- Art theft is not allowed.
- Images may be deleted without notice. This is not an image dump.
- Do not add images to sandboxes to avoid unused file deletion. ImgBB, Imgur, etc. already exist: you can text/email yourself pictures or put them on Slack or Discord! The exception to this rule is Sandbox:SiteImagesBin, where site-integral images are stored to prevent deletion.
Punishments
As with any mistakes, you will get warnings and reminders. However, if we believe something isn't a mistake and is an attempt to cause disruption — which we don't normally believe — then you may be indefinitely blocked. After 3-4 warnings, you will probably receive a short (3 days-2 weeks) block. See below for more information on punishments.
Warnings
For minor offenses, you will receive a warning. After receiving (usually) 3-4 warnings, you will be blocked, however, this block will most likely be temporary.
Warnings expire after 2 weeks, unless specified otherwise in the message.
Blocks
Blocks will prevent you from interacting with the wiki in any form, such as editing, commenting, etc. In most cases, you will still be able to edit your user page and message wall, however, this access may be revoked.
Blocks may be temporary or indefinite, and they may affect only your username or your IP address as well as username. If the SOAP block you, your email address may also be blocked. If you are blocked across the FANDOM network (which is out of our control), you, your alternate accounts, your email, and your IP will all be blocked.
Additional Policies
These, too, must be followed. As stated previously, violation of FANDOM's ToU will result in a permanent block.
