User:Messi1983/Current rules

'''The following is a list of the Rules and Policies at Bully Fanon Wiki. Every user at Bully Wiki is expected to follow these, and failure to do so will result in a block.'''

'''To Admins:Please assume good faith. Before handing out infinite blocks (This does not apply to the Racism rule), please discuss with other admins. Thank you.'''

General Rules

 * 1)  Do not copy any user. This includes fanfiction, characters, everything. You will not be warned for this, as it is plagiarism, you will be blocked for 24 hours, and whatever you have copied will be deleted. If you re-post it, you will be blocked for a week and so on.
 * 2)  Fanfic pages cannot be featured. This is sure to cause fights or jealousy between users. So, they are NOT to be featured articles. You will be warned once and only once for this. 
 * 3) Please sign your comments. Signing your comments is useful to others to make sure there are no misunderstandings on topics, sorting, etc. The first block for this is usually 2 hours-24 hours.
 * 4) Please do not change other's fictional character page facts, such as 'So and So dates Mandy Wiles' to 'So and so has no girlfriend.' What you may change is: Spelling/Grammatical mistakes, and link fixes. If the user who has created the fan fiction page only (Not real Bully articles) may sign their page if they wish. Rather then being blocked, you will be warned twice. The first block is usually 24 hours, depending on what you have changed the text to. Users who have created their pages may not warn the other. They are to tell an admin.
 * 5)  No racism . Racism is not tolerated and will result into an infinite block. This includes all articles, fanfic and real.
 * 6) No sock puppetry . Sockpuppetry is manipulating multiple accounts. The first and only block for this is infinite. If a user has another account and tells a Bureaucrat or Administrator about it, it will not be considered sockpuppetry, and the user will be asked to use only one account.
 * 7) No meat puppetry . Meat puppetry is similar to sock puppetry. However meat puppetry is asking other people to come to Bully Fanon Wiki in order to influence the editorial process in a topic or discussion. It is a violation of Bully Fanon Wiki rules either to solicit meat puppets or to be a meat puppet for someone else.
 * 8) No vandalism . This includes: Inserting false facts, gibberish, changing a fanfic page (Not for spelling/grammatical and link fixes) etc. Registered contributors will be warned once, and the blocked for 24 hours. Unregistered contributors are to be blocked infinitely.
 * 9) Please be civil to other users . This includes no insults, personal attacks, and spamming. A warning will be handed out, as always, and then, if you continue you will be blocked for 24 hours. This includes if you have a friend on the wiki, or sibling. Such of those 'uncivility' are okay on blogs, as long as both users agree that it is okay.
 * 10) Please do not start edit wars . Edit wars are where two editors begin undoing each others edits. Edit wars result in the 2 hour block (with a warning) to each user and a temporary protection to the page.
 * 11) No harrasment, such as if one editor creates something that your fanfic states (Such as: 'Ginger Smith is dating Ted Thompson' and on another 'Hannah Grey is dating Ted Thompson', please do not change one another's pages. Also, do not pester the other user to change it, as this counts as harrasment and falls into the civility rule.
 * 12) Users are not to warn others . For example, if a regular user (One without sysop privileges) warns another for violating a rule, the regular user will get warned or blocked, too. Regular users also may not go ahead and check when another is blocked, and leave a 'Blocked' message. This is an Admin's job, not a regular users. How do you know if you do not qualify to do this? Simple. You cannot edit this page if you do not qualify. Please ask an admin for further details.
 * 13) Do not abuse your talk page if you are blocked.  This means do not pester admins to unblock you, or turn to an immature "I can't get blocked anymore!" attitude.
 * 14) Do not change Bully articles to add fanon. This includes, let's say, to Ted's page, adding "Ted Thompson has been dating So and So since..." That is what the OC CHARACTER PAGES are for. The Bully articles are short summaries so that writers can get an idea of what/who they are writing about.
 * 15)  If you have been blocked from Bully Wiki for an infinite amount of time, then you'll be blocked from editing here too.  This is because both wiki's are in association with each other, and have the same users editing at both.
 * 16) Administrators, Patrollers, and Bureaucrats are asked to NOT give out reasons why a user has been blocked. They should not give reasons to users who ask individually. Please only leave reasons on the blocked user's talk page of when and why they are blocked, along with how long
 * 17)  If you are here to hate on Fanon, OCs, etc. Leave. This wiki will NOT tolerate any 'haters'. Haters will be blocked on the spot. Bureaucrats and Admins: Please leave a message on the user's talk page.

Wiki Friendship Policies
This is just to make something clear. If two users befriend each other on the Wiki, and one has sysop privelges, if the other gets blocked the user with sysop privileges may not unblock them without contacting the blocker. The user who is blocked may not pester the user with sysop privelges to unblock them, otherwise talk page use will be removed under 'Talk page abuse'.

Wiki Fanfiction Rules
This is a fanon wiki, which will obviously have much, much, MUCH fanfiction. Here are rules for this.
 * 1) DO NOT change other's fanfiction pages. This does not include spelling/grammatical errors or link fixing. This is a basic rule and should be followed at all times.
 * 2) Do not delete other's fanfictional pages. This results in a one week block and loss of sysop powers.


 * 1) Do not corrupt others photos on fanfiction. This includes taking a photo of one's fanfiction and drawing on it. This includes wether good or bad. If a user asks another to customize a photo, the user must tell the other user, and the user asked must place it onto the requester's talk page. The user who requested it must place it on the page. If any questions, please ask an admin.

User sysop/rollback privileges.
Bully Fanon Wiki has no need for any more Bureaucrats.

To become an Administrator, or a Patroller. Please put a promotion request on the Community Noticeboard. While requesting, please explain which position you want, and how you can help. Users will then either vote yes or no. Voting will stay open for 3 days. If someone votes no against you, do not take it personal and doing so by verbal abuse will likely lead to a block.

If you have been blocked here on Bully Wiki before for any reason, then your request on the Noticeboard will be deleted.

Community FanFiction Policy
Community FanFiction is basically when users combine their fanfiction. They all write seperate stories, but include each other and write their stories accordingly. This includes a set of rules.
 * 1) Users don't have to write stories with others. It is all their decision.
 * 2) Users cannot randomly include others in a story. For example, let's say a user is writing a story and suddenly includes another user. The user who wrote it will be asked to remove it, if it Is not O.K. with the other. Users may post these random plans on blogs if it has been discussed with the other (On or off wiki).
 * 3) Users also cannot send out personal attacks during community fanfiction sharing.

Fanfiction Rules
Please note if your fanfiction does not follow these rules, it is at risk of being deleted.


 * No explicit blood/gore/murder in fanfiction.


 * No explicit sexual content. Please note there may be users who are not at an appropriate age to readsuch content. Fanfiction cannot go past Bully's level of sexual content, whereas it is at Mr Burton and his nature.
 * Please attempt to avoid making redirects to OC pages. OCs may have the same name, and making a redirect to one of two [or more] may be unfair to other users.

Blogging Policy
Users if they so wish, can post off topic blogs. However there is some rules and guidelines just to avoid anarchy and chaos.


 * No subject is taboo, however if you post a blog just for the sake of being vulgar, then it will be deleted.
 * If you're debating in blog comments, then debate in a calm civilised manner.
 * If any Bureaucrat or Admin is in a debate with another user, then they cannot use their position or tools threaten to/or block a user they're in a debate with. Bureaucrats abusing this rule, will be reported to Wikia Staff. Admins abusing this rule will be warned once by the Bureaucrats, if they persist in carrying on threatening to block a user they're in a debate with, then a Bureaucrat will remove their rights.
 * Dan the Man 1983 has a tendency to tease people in blog comments by threatening to block them. This is done in a joking manner and he usually adds LOL or lol to the end if he is joking.
