Wiki rules
Common Rules
- Be kind and treat everyone with respect. Keep in mind that everyone has feelings, no matter who they are. Bullying, harassment, threats, and discrimination of any sort directed to anyone; regardless of whether they are a troll or vandal – is strictly prohibited. This wiki has NO place for that type of behavior, and will result in you being blocked. Remember that what you say and do to someone can affect the way they feel. Think about how you would want them to treat you.
- Stories are completely fictional. They are stories intended to provide entertainment for the reader. Please do not believe in these stories or try to convince other users that they are real or occured in real life. Remember, the stories you read were created by many creative writers, just like you! Anyone caught believing in creepypastas or attempting to convince others will be banned, especially so as this behaviour is often indicative of a young age — likely too young for you to use Fandom.
- Please refrain from engaging in cross-wiki drama. Issues pertaining to other communities, including bans, wiki changes, or conflicts must be handled on the appropriate wiki.
- Promotion of self harm or harm towards others will result in a permanent block and is subject to further consequences with Fandom. This includes telling users to "kill themselves" or threatening to harm others. Additionally, all mentions of self harm or suicidal thoughts are prohibited and will result in a block. If you have suicidal thoughts, the wiki is NOT the place to get help. Seek professional help instead.
- Be yourself! Do not impersonate any famous users, public enemies, banned users, or anyone who associates or participates in this wiki. Impersonation is when a user pretends to be another user by copying another user's content (such as their username, masthead info, or their public information) to get others to believe that they are the same person. This will lead to your account being blocked. Remember, being impersonated online is no fun!
- Remember your words! Swearing is alright as long as it isn’t directed at anyone. hom*ophobic, ableist, sexist, and racist slurs are forms of hate speech and are not to be used anywhere on this wiki. We want everyone to feel safe, happy, and comfortable where they edit, and using foul language is never the way to communicate with others.
- Spamming and vandalism is not allowed. This includes spamming the wiki chat. Do not insert gibberish nonsense or false information into articles. You are also not to edit anyone's user content without their permission, regardless if the user is a troll or vandal. User content can be edited without permission (by an admin or mod) only if an info template is being added, such as the public enemy template, the staff list template, or the blocked template. A clean and organized wiki is always best!
- Keep this wiki an 18+ free zone. While some pastas may be NSFW, we don’t tolerate any explicit or illegal material here. This includes p*rnography, the use of harmful drugs, corrupt files, malware, crime promotion, etc. Sharing or uploading that type of content here will lead to you being blocked. Remember, there are many younger viewers who are browsing this wiki!
- Do not commit plagiarism. This includes making ripoffs of stories (Either through title, storyline and/or cliches), making duplicate wikis about the same topic as this one and/or editing, animating or stealing content from this wiki without the author's permission. If you would like to know which contents are cliche, then click here to learn more. Remember that users work very hard for their content, and copying their work and claiming it is not cool!
- Please do not minimod. This is when a user who is not a part of the staff team tries to be in control of situations that they are not required to handle. Leave it to our staff team to deal with.
- Don’t attempt to share or gain personal information. Be careful who you interact with and what you share online. Unfortunately, we are not responsible for any damage or loss to anyone on this wiki. You are completely responsible for all of the information you share about yourself on this wiki. The internet is a very dangerous place.
- Going off-topic/necroposting on discussions is not allowed. If you would like to have an off topic discussion, you can create a new thread on the sh*tposting/random crap board on the forums. Do not highlight any off topic or irrelevant discusions. (Such as games, challenges, memes, etc.) Threads that should be highlighted are Wiki Changelogs and Admin Messages. Please don’t comment on a post that is more than 30 days old. If you still have an issue after reading an old post, just make a new one. Don't want any notifications from threads that were made ages ago
- Getting banned doesn't completely shield you from a transgression. If you've broken the rules in the past, it can be used against you in the future. Expect an extended ban length for every next transgression you commit.
- Any member who was demoted of their moderation rank that tries to evade a demotion via promoting an alternative or sock puppet account before demotion and then using the account to continue moderation will result in the account getting demoted and all accounts that belong to the User will be banned.
- Do not use serious slurs like the n-word or the gay slur. If you have strong opinions against these groups of people, please keep them to yourself.
- And finally – if you get punished for breaking any rules, accept the punishment. If you believe there was an error or would like your ban to be shortened/lifted, you can contact an admin on their message wall on community central.
Staff Guidelines
- Staff are not only to follow all the rules, they are to show HOW to follow the rules. Staff are to set an example for other users on how to behave and how to sustain the balance of the wiki. Any transgression will very likely result in a demotion.
- You are not to commit rank abuse; either by breaking rules, or generally abusing your power. etc.
- Inactivity is an important part of staff selections. Staff members who have been inactive for long periods of time can be subject to demotion and/or concern.
- Punishments should be given out responsibly. Do not punish people for invalid reasons, and give an adequate ban duration.
- Asking for a promotion is frowned upon in most circ*mstances. Promotions usually come in time, when users have contributed to the wiki and have been proven to be beneficial to the wiki in one way or another. If you would like to be promoted, you have to work to earn it.
- Staff are to communicate respectfully to other users, even if a user has broken a rule or two. Assessing situations should be done with respect, consideration and tolerance.
- An add-on to rule 1: If a staff member gets caught harassing or bullying a user - even if that user has broken a rule - they will be subject to a possible instant demotion, or even a temp-ban.
Commenting Policies
- Let your voice be heard! Feedback and opinions on all pastas are very much appreciated. Be respectful, be honest, and don't post anything rude.
- Do not edit other people's comments if it's something other than a grammar fix. Please keep editing to your own comments.
- Make sure that commenting abides by the rules; do not flame or harass anyone.
- Do not have discussions on pages or stories. Discussions are for the discussions forums only. Making repeated comments on a single page, even if it's not spam, is frowned upon.
Writing Criteria
- If your page was deleted, it was because it violated the wiki's editing policy. Deletion happens mainly because it contained spam, hate, or was an irrelevant article. If your article was deleted, you can speak to the user who deleted it on their message wall with a reason of request to restore it.
- Do not make a page that's one sentence long. This is considered making spam pages, and will also be subject to a deletion. Your stories can be long or short, as long as they aren't just a sentence long.
- Good grammar means readable stories. Pages with poor grammar will leave the reader confused and will possibly be subject to deletion.
- Keep pages neat! Make sure your story chapters are on one page only, and not into a lot of different pages for each chapter. Do not fit a whole bunch of pastas onto one page. This will leave the reader confused. Make a page for each story. Making multiple parts to a story allowed.
