Adventure Academy Wiki:Community Guidelines

Our rules are listed on this page for all our users to access. Both you and our staff are required to follow these rules. We hope to make our policies as simple as possible.

Conduct Rules

 * 1) If any local policy violates the FANDOM Terms of Service or Privacy Policy, those hold precedence. If any violation in these local policies is noticed, please contact an acting local community admin.
 * 2) Respect everyone; stop means stop.
 * 3) FANDOM Terms of Service requires users to be 13+. Please do not share your age if you are under 13, as everyone here is encouraged to report to Fandom if a user violates the Terms of Use.
 * 4) Do not swear.
 * 5) If you are under 16, do not share personal information.
 * 6) All content on the wiki should be age appropriate, meaning PG-13 or lower.
 * 7) Please review these pages: Help:Vandalism, and the "Internet Troll" Wikipedia article.
 * 8) Be aware that SPAM (also understood as "Silly Pointless Annoying Messages") is not allowed. This also includes messages like "repost this or you will die", "first," "second," "third," etc. comments, or gibberish.
 * 9) Your username or profile picture may not contain not safe for work content (i.e. swearing, nudity, sexual content, gore), hate, or spam.
 * 10) Respect everyone. Stop means stop.
 * 11) Mini-modding, or telling people something is against the rules without being a local or global staff member, will result in a warning. Mini-modding only causes confusion among people, especially newer members of the community.
 * 12) Do not encourage unjust harassment of others in any form.
 * 13) Vandalism, Silly Pointless Annoying Messages (SPAM), or unsolicited advertisements are all strictly prohibited.
 * 14) Do not troll, harass, or otherwise purposefully harangue other users or disrupt their experience.
 * 15) Do not curse or use curse word replacements.
 * 16) Impersonation is not allowed. Impersonation involves stating or pretending that you are a person, but you are not.
 * 17) Do not share private information, and do not solicit private information. If you ever feel like you are being forced to share information you do not wish to share without a good reason, report it. Private information includes full names, age (unless you are comfortable with sharing it), email addresses that may reveal sensitive information, personal photographs of yourself, or anything else that could identify you outside of the internet.
 * 18) Cyberbullying will not be tolerated.
 * 19) Please do not necropost. This means posting on a thread that hasn't been used in two weeks or more, without providing any valuable additions to the discussion.
 * 20) Stirring up drama is strictly prohibited. Doing it intentionally or for attention can result in a block.
 * 21) Sharing malicious hacks/cheats is prohibited from this wiki. Malicious hacks are any hacks that can potentially damage someone else’s Adventure Academy experience, i.e. taking their account, causing them to lose progress or similar. Hack sharing is allowed if you follow the hacking sites' codes of conduct.
 * 22) Do not share hacked accounts, or ask for your Adventure Academy account to be hacked. When you share an account, whether it's an alt or main, you possibly expose personal information such as your grade, age, real name, and IP address (which applies to all accounts). Stealing account data is a blockable offense.

Editing Guidelines

 * 1) Your contributions must comply with the Manual of Style.
 * 2) This wiki is in English, so you should only write in modern forms of English.
 * 3) New pages and categories will be reviewed by admins and content moderators, who will decide if they fit with the goals of the community knowledge base. See the Category Guide for details on currently existing categories.
 * 4) Opinions go in the comments, not in the article.
 * 5) Only edit your profile, unless adding the Blocked template to a blocked user's page or you have permission to edit. Profiles violating guidelines can be reported to a moderator, and there is no need to edit them yourself.
 * 6) Please do not add links to pages that don't exist (aka Red Links) unless permitted to do so before the edit.
 * 7) Galleries should have clear pictures of high resolution.
 * 8) Do not edit if the contribution does not improve the reading experience.
 * 9) Do not edit farm (editing something multiple times when you could have done it in one go).
 * 10) If you believe that the protection level on an article is not right, contact an admin or content moderator.
 * 11) Please do not put "hacking" as an obtainment method in equipment infoboxes on articles. Any item can be obtained with hacking, therefore doing this is pointless.

Media Policies

 * 1) All media must be child-friendly.
 * 2) Art theft is not allowed.
 * 3) Images may be deleted without notice. This is not an image dump.

Punishment Policies
As with any mistakes, you will get warnings and reminders. However, if we believe something isn't a mistake and is an attempt to cause disruption, which we do not normally believe, then you may be indefinitely blocked. After 3 warnings, you may or may not receive a, 84-hour block. See below for more information on punishments.

Warning Policies

 * 1) For minor offenses, you will receive a warning from one with permission to do so. After receiving (usually) 3 warnings, you will be blocked, however, this block will most likely be temporary.
 * 2) Warnings expire after 2 weeks, unless specified otherwise in the message. Warnings are NOT to be deleted, and deleting one will only result in another warn.

Blocking Policies

 * 1) Blocks will prevent you from interacting with the wiki in any form, such as editing, commenting, etc.
 * 2) In most cases of a block, you will still be able to edit your user page and message wall, however, this access may be revoked.
 * 3) Blocks may be temporary or indefinite, and they may affect only your username or your IP address as well as username. If the SOAP block you, your email address may also be blocked. If you are blocked across the FANDOM network (which is out of our control), you, your alternate accounts, your email, and your IP will all be blocked.
