"Vandalism" is a term used fairly loosely on this site, and basically covers all negative or unhelpful edits. We all make mistakes however, so if you mess up while using the site please make a request for us to undo your work - no problem!
Here is a general list of what, in our eyes, constitutes vandalism - please note this is not an exhaustive list!
We would also like to emphasise that vandalism = bans - be careful what you write!
Due to an unacceptable level of vandalism from the BRGS IP address, editing this site while in school has been prevented indefinitely.
Vandalism
- Deleting the whole content of a page - if you want a page deleting please ask a moderator by looking at Moderation Requests.
- Adding pointless content, along the lines of "<Person A> is well fit and is orange" Essentially, anything that is acceptable on "MySpace" is not acceptable here!
- Adding potentially insulting comments to someone's page - this will result in a ban! The policy for such comments is that if they can possibly be seen in an insulting or derogatory way they cannot be posted (even if they are intended as a joke!), as we cannot confirm that the subject can see the funny side.
- Any racist comments
- Any comments of a sexual nature - this is a site for the whole school remember!
- Any swearing that is not asterisked out (using asterisks is fine). However, quotes consisting entirely of curse-words are completely unnecessary.
- Attempting to attack a "major page", like the Main Page, News, Community Portal etc
And potentially many more things
It can be quite difficult to police all the wiki at busy times; so if you spot any vandalism anywhere on the site, please tell us here and we'll sort it out.
