Chat Rules

The following is a list of rules detailing the guidelines for interacting with other users on this wiki.

There is no uniformed way of writing, but there are some rules that need to be followed.

Rules

Language

  • This is a designated English-speaking wiki. Therefore you must speak in English. Speaking in other languages is not inclusive for everyone and goes against our common ground, as a majority of people will not be able to understand you. If you cannot write or understand English, you should use the Wikia network in your respective language instead.
  • Swearing is perfectly acceptable on this wiki. However, swearing directed at other users is not permitted.

Respect

  • Always treat other users with dignity and respect, especially the admins. Do not speak to anyone in a rude or degrading manner.
  • Derogatory comments about race, religion, gender, sexuality, etc. are not allowed.

Harassment

  • Directing foul language or insults at other users is NOT allowed. Joking around is perfectly okay as long as the user at the receiving end knows that it is a joke. However, using a joke as an excuse to target or be rude to other users is not permitted, and said user will be warned.
  • Do not target or fight with users who simply do not agree with you. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and that should be respected.
  • Stalking, death threats, or any excessive form of intimidation is not allowed. If any of these actions are carried out, you will be reported to Wikia Staff and potentially banned across all Wikia networks.

Comment Wars

  • Sometimes, people's opinions clash, leading to what we call "Comment Wars." Remember: do NOT participate in any comment wars! Not only will the comments be deleted, but the people involved will be banned at the discretion of the admins. Civil debate and discussion are perfectly okay, but do not take it too far (i.e. insulting other users who disagree with you).
  • The comment sections are not places to solve personal disputes. If you have an issue with another editor, leave a message on their wall, as well as on the message wall of an administrator, and your problem will be handled from there.

Reporting

  • If you encounter a user comment that you feel might violate this wiki's rules or Fandom's Terms of Use, you can report it by using the "Report" button next to it.
  • The report function is not meant to be used as a way to move in on comments that do not correspond with your personal opinion. Abusing it by purposefully reporting comments that are evidently in line with the rules will result in a warning and, later, a ban if the behavior continues.

Character Bashing

  • It is perfectly fine not to like a certain character. However, going out of your way to excessively insult said character or anyone who likes said character is not tolerated. If you do not like a character, simply state why and open that up for discussion in a civil manner. It is always healthy to state your opinion, just as long as it is not taken too far.

Spamming

The definition of spam is: irrelevant or unsolicited messages sent through the internet. Even if it's something as small as a single letter, it could still be classified as spam. Spam clogs up discussions and could mean important questions and messages get missed. Spam will not be tolerated and will result in a ban.

  • Spam can exist in almost any form, even something as simple as a single letter.
  • Spam can also mean posting the same message over and over again, whether it be on the same article/post or multiple different ones.
  • Spam can also be just randomly typing letters over and over again; for example: Akhdhfyr esifjfhfh. These messages will be deleted immediately, and the user responsible will be held accountable.

Warnings

  • Do not remove or ignore any warnings posted on your message wall by admins. Doing so may result in a ban.

Note:

All posts and comments can be edited or deleted at any administrator’s discretion. Administrators will provide a reason for why a post or comment is deleted. If you have further questions, leave a polite message on the wall of the administrator who deleted your post or comment, and they will provide clarification. Remember: Any deleted threads can be restored or have their information gathered by an administrator even after deletion.
