Basic rules[]
- Keep it civil: Do not make personal attacks on other people. If you need to criticize another user’s argument, do so constructively and politely, without attacking them as a person. Do not use bigoted language, including slurs which degrade another person or group of people based on gender, race, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, etc.
- Be a productive member of the wiki: Contribute to the wiki in line with the established processes and conventions. Need help? Ask an administrator! Disrupting the wiki with “edit warring” over differing opinions of a topic with another user or group of users is not productive.
- Do not engage in excessive self-promotion: The wiki is a collaborative community resource for the topic at hand. It is NOT a free place to advertise your related website, YouTube channel, blog, social media account, etc. Have a question about whether your link would be welcome? Ask an administrator!
- Do not harass other users: If somebody asks you to stop posting certain content on their wall, respect their wishes. It is their wall.
- Follow the community guidelines for formatting: When a community has established formatting, it’s important to adhere to that, especially when spoiler content is involved.
Blocking[]
We must assume good faith on the part of every user unless proven otherwise. A new contributor making a single mistake (e.g. adding an extra space with no other changes to a page) is something that can be reverted and pointed out in the edit summary. Similarly, a user not following the Manual of Style guidelines should lead to a polite reminder on their Message Wall.
Overt and repeated vandalism, hateful or discriminatory conduct, personal attacks, or persistent lack of adherence to the rules and guidelines may result in a block if the issue is unlikely to be resolved with a warning. This may be done to give the user time to review the guidelines or to reconsider their approach and become a helpful contributor in the future. Permanent blocks are issued in the event of gross violations that outweigh the likelihood of redemption.
