'''This page is dedicated to outlining the rules and policies of {{SITENAME}}. It is recommended that all new users visit this page to ensure an understanding of the rules in place. By following these rules, you also agree to follow the guidelines defined by the Miraheze TOS'''
==Content Rules and Editing Guidelines==

===Vandalism===
Any form of vandalism is not welcome on {{SITENAME}}. This includes:
* Inserting inappropriate or unrelated content, spam, intentionally false information or gibberish into pages (see [[Rules#Spam|Spam]])
* Removing content from pages for no acceptable reason
* Inserting or spamming links to disallowed external sites

===Editing Conflicts===
If you do not agree with a certain edit being made to a page, you are allowed to undo the edit and provide a reasonable reason as to why that edit should be undone and not be implemented into the page. Please do not engage in edit wars. If a user is not complying with an open-minded discussion, please contact a Staff Member to have the issue resolved.

==Behavior Rules==
Be nice and treat people with respect. Keep discussions civil and be open-minded about differing opinions. Posts that express criticisms are allowed; posts that intentionally plan to cause flame wars or attempt to cause flame wars are strictly prohibited and will be deleted. Posts that express disagreements of a user or their style are allowed; posts that berate or insult a user in said disagreement are strictly prohibited. 

If someone is making disrespectful comments towards you or other users, please use the report button, and Staff will take a look at the offending post. Engaging in flame wars with other users is highly discouraged and will likely result in the involved users receiving a punishment if you are found participating. User walls are not exempt from this rule.

Do not make posts excessively personal or post personal information, or make posts about sensitive topics like politics or religion.

Please do not post NSFW or NSFW-esque content, and please do not use profanity on this site. (****, @#$%, or ---- counts as profanity). 

If a user is not following the rules, you may notify them about their behavior '''if'''  you report the post/comment or notify a staff member. Please do not mini-mod without making staff aware.  

Do not discriminate or make fun of disabilities.  

Please avoid self-promotion without asking a staff member for permission. If you are granted permission, you may not include phrases such as “please subscribe” or “please follow”.  

===Impersonation===
Do not impersonate other users. 

Examples of impersonation include, but are not limited to the following:
* Making an account and/or profile picture with an extremely similar name to someone in the community intentionally (ex: “T1mmyTheAlien” or “TimmyTheAlien_” )

===Harassment===
Please refrain from attacking or raiding users on their message wall or editing their profile page in a malicious manner. If you have an issue with a certain user, please contact Staff about the issue. Users should not attack, instigate, or attempt to cause drama with other users in the comments and discussions section. Pages meant just as an attack on someone will be deleted.

===Scamming and Begging===
No scamming of any kind will be tolerated on this wiki. Doing so will result in immediate punishment.

Examples of scamming include, but are not limited to the following:
* Posting links to unauthorized websites - especially ones meant to farm information (e.g., "Free Season Pass" or "Free Gimbucks")
* Posting threads which claim to give free things in exchange for account information (e.g., "Double your Gimbucks")

Begging is also disallowed on this wiki - including, but are not limited to the following:
* Continually asking for things if you get no as a reply
* Continually ask to become staff (e.g., "make me a mod pls") - We have a form for this when positions are open.
* Begging on message walls, discussion posts, blog posts, etc.
* Begging for an unban after you were already unbanned and getting banned again.

===Spam===
Wikis are a great place to build content on a specific topic (like Gimkit), but it is not a place to spam links or to post non-Gimkit related material. Spam will be removed, so please don't add it to begin with.

Examples of spamming include, but are not limited to the following:
* Excessive repetition of a given line or sentence (e.g., "stache best gim stache best gim stache best gim stache best gim")
* Excessive emoji spam or nonsensical emoji spam
* Excessive self-promotion of user generated content (e.g., spamming Discord server links, spamming links or videos in unrelated sections of the site)
* Posts which contain just gibberish (e.g., "dfjvfcbjhfcgvbhhjgfb")
* Posts containing [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII_art ASCII art] (unless allowed by Staff)
* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copypasta Copypasta] posts

==Underage User Policy==
If a user is suspected or found to be under the age of 13, their account will be indefinitely blocked.

If you wish to be unblocked, please let an admin know and send in an appeal containing why you were blocked and why you think it is incorrect / why you should be unblocked / why you won't do it again.

==Additional Notes==
Make sure to have common sense. Even if it's not listed in the rules, you may still be punished depending on the situation and severity.

== Warning Information ==
