General Rules
- Do not vandalize anything on the wiki.

- Non-admin users should not give warnings to other users. Friendly advice and tips are one thing, but only admins will give out warnings.
- Alt accounts are not allowed, trying to avoid chaos as much as possible.
- You may use 2 accounts. Trolling or anything else with the alt can get you into trouble.

Uploading Files
- Do not upload anything that is not going to be used in an article.

- Do not upload duplicate files.
- Do not upload low-quality files.
- Do not upload files with Let's Players faces on them.
Editing Rules and Guidelines
- Read each article in its entirety before editing.
- If you are not sure whether your edit is necessary or not, comment first as making redunant/unnecessary edits will get you punished.
- Do not create fan-related pages.
- Including fan games or reskins, if you want to do that, please create a blog instead.
- Do try to be as accurate as possible when editing articles.
- Do your best to use proper grammar.
- Remain objective - use "the player," not "you."
- Do your best to keep any abbreviations that may be used consistent.
- Do not make the articles redundant.
- Do not create new articles without admin permission.
- Do not create unnecessary/spam articles.
- If you want to theorize about a character or anything of the sort, create a blog post instead.
- Do not start edit-wars, just report to admins and wait for them to approve either of those edits.
- If your edit was not accepted do not start an argument as it will end up getting a punishment.
Chat Rules and Guidelines
- All general rules apply to chat.
- If you are being harassed by another user, or a user is spamming, and no chat mods are present, please take screenshots. Upload them to Imgur or Photobucket, and leave links on a chat mod or admin's wall. Alternatively, you may hold onto the links and send them to a chat mod or admin once they enter via PM.
- If you are roleplaying, please have some common courtesy; e.g. no godmodding, puppeteering, etc.
- The "only admins may give warnings" rule still applies, but is extended to include chat mods.
Forum Rules and Guidelines
- All general rules apply to the forums.
- If there is an issue, please contact an admin as soon as possible.
- Avoid adding to a problematic situation by arguing, making a big deal out of it, calling names, and so forth. Doing so may land you in trouble as well.
- If you are roleplaying, please have some common courtesy; e.g. no godmodding, puppeteering, etc.
- Deleting admin warnings is prohibited, aswell as locking them without permission.
- Posting personal download links such as Torrent files and personal sites like Dropbox is prohibited as the link might contain malicious content.
