We (the moderators) have unfortunately had to ban some users for negative contributions towards the wiki. With this in mind, we have thought up some guidelines for when we will be using bans.
Please remember that these will be used as a last resort - don't be afraid to edit and make a mistake - you won't be banned! If you do accidentally mess something up, stick a note in the Community Portal and we'll sort it out for you a.s.a.p. However, everyone knows that being insulting is not accidental, so in this case banning will be used much more quickly. Do not use this site to insult people!
Also please note that we are often more lenient towards registered users, particularly if you make a mistake with an edit, as by registering you have shown commitment to helping us out. This does not allow you to get away with vandalism however! Also, don't think that being unregistered makes you harder to ban - it's just as simple as we can block your IP address! To see a list of people who have been banned so far, click here.
Please be aware that it takes a moderator around ten seconds to restore a vandalised page. We always find your vandalism, and know who has done it, so the best advice is not to bother!
Bans
- All vandalism will be reversed when recognised.
- The first offence is often overlooked, except in extreme cases, such as personal attacks.
- Repeated vandalism shall result in a ban of 1 or 3 days depending on severity. Any further vandalism after this date will result in a permanent ban from editing this site.
What constitutes vandalism?
These guidelines have been put in place for the few users who choose to vandalise. If people observe them, it will allow us to relax the guidelines and give you more freedom when editing pages. Thanks to the majority of contributors who are helping this site become a success!
