The Giver Wiki:Rules

Like most wikis, we have certain rules here that our registered users are expected to follow, and those that take no regard to the rules are warned, then given a ban. Here we have the various rules listed, and it is suggested you read them before you start editing or doing other activities on this wiki. If you have any questions, please contact this wiki's administrators for help.

General Rules

• Our most important rule is to use common sense.

• This wiki has had an overwhelming history of vandalism. Do not vandalize (insert gibberish or explicit content into pages, remove page content entirely, destroying articles, etc.); our administrators do not and will not tolerate it. Doing so will result in a ban.

• Refrain from spamming. This includes putting external links, irrelevancy, or gibberish in comments.

• Do not be disrespectful to other users. Disrespectful behavior involves name calling, jeering, trolling others, getting upset if another person does not share your opinions, acting impolite, or anything that is considered to be cyberbullying. This does not mean you cannot speak your mind; just please be kind when doing so.

• If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

• Do not advertise other wikis or websites on here at all.

• Personal Attacking is a form of harassment, or cyberbullying, and is unacceptable.
  • If you are being harassed by a user, inform the administrators immediately so a ban can be performed on the harrassing user.

• A Sockpuppet is a term for an account created for the purpose of deception, most commonly used when a blocked user pretends to be someone else. Any detected sockpuppets will be banned.

Editing Articles

• Please only put true information in the articles, and make sure to double-check your facts for legitimacy before adding new details.
  • Any false information will be removed and the user(s) responsible for the vandalism will be warned and even be blocked and/or banned.

• This is a database, remember. Fan fictions will be deleted upon their creation. Fan art may be uploaded, but only for personal use on your user page or talk page. If fan art is uploaded onto official pages, it will be removed.

• We want to look professional, in the articles and the wiki in genral, so when adding information to pages, please use proper grammar and please add accurate information.

Conversing

Chat Rules

• Please do not use offensive terms or language.
• Unless someone requests it, links to external sites should not appear in the Chat.
• Chatting about mature themed topics is not permitted here, as this is a child-friendly wiki.
• Spamming on a chat room is not tolerated, as with mature content or bullying.

Talk Page Rules

• Do not threaten and/or bully other users on Talk Pages.
• Giving out personal information, such as a phone number or a address, etc., is against our rules and is not advised.

Bans/Warnings

• Users are warned to avoid being disrespectful to this wiki. Repeated offenses can result in a block and even a ban if repeated over a long term.
