Site Rules

The following rules apply to both the official discord and the wikia.

  • Refrain from spamming, threatening, using unironic derogatory comments of any form (ethnic, homophobic, belittling the disabled or mentally ill, etcetera), and rude, vulgar, sexist, etcetera offensive language. This will not be tolerated.
  • Do not instigate drama or systematically spread toxicity, and follow the instructions in official staff warnings. This extends to starting drama due to an event you may have with another member off-site, either don't bring it here or work peacefully with them.
  • Using sock-puppet handles is strongly forbidden, especially to circumvent blocks. Doing so will result in the block duration being greatly increased for all of the relevant accounts.
  • Accounts with offensive, misleading, or otherwise very inappropriate usernames will receive a warning to change their username, if they fail to comply they will receive an indefinite block (for obvious troll accounts they will just receive a block).
  • Impersonating other members is not allowed.
  • Unconstructive negative talk/criticism about other wikis and communities is completely forbidden. Even if the other wiki or community has shown negative talk towards us.
    • To add on, do not go out to harass or attack anyone who disagrees with the way we handle our wiki, a general discussion/debate from disagreement is fine but direct insulting and attacking is not.
  • Text or images that fall under NSFW are completely forbidden and will grant you an immediate block if they're posted. This is a site for all ages.
  • Do not link to or promote anything illegal within the Wiki. Linking to scams of any sorts is obviously strongly forbidden and will lead to an immediate ban.
    • You are not allowed to discuss or mention of any kind of method or tools that can be used in any way to circumvent security of the wiki, spam the wiki or otherwise exploit the wiki. If you discover any such means or tools tell an Admin in a PM. Do NOT ever post it publicly.
    • This also extends to promoting copies of romhacks, roms, emulation, etcetera. Profiles regarding these are allowed along with discussion of them, but distribution of them is banned.
  • Death threats or suicide threats of any form, will absolutely not be tolerated. If you feel extremely depressed or suicidal, please visit the International Suicide Prevention Wiki for a directive of help numbers in different countries. If you are suffering from some type of mental illness, you might be able to find help via one of these resource pages.
  • Statements implying substance abuse, even indirect ones, will result in a block. This rule will apply regardless of the circumstances, no matter how inflammatory the other member is being.
  • Being sexually flirtatious will not be tolerated. Playing mature games, flirting, or using sexual connotations is discouraged, and in extreme cases, will result in a severe penalty.
  • Posting your personal information like SN numbers, addresses, etc. is disallowed. Posting it will have it be immediately deleted. Failure to accept this will result in a ban. Do note this refers to very personal information, information in regards to the state you live in, or real name is fine to release if you're comfortable with it.
    • Posting other members personal information against their consent will result in an immediate ban. Any previous history of doing this will result in a ban.
  • Derogatory comments on religious or political matters (both highly sensitive issues) are banned, nothing good comes out of these discussions and this wikia is not the place for it. Doing so will result in a deletion of the post, and possibly a ban, depending on the severity.
  • Please avoid versus debating with deities featured in modern religions unless it is a comics, games, tv, etc version of that deity. It is both controversial and impractical to bring up the contents of religious scriptures.
  • Admins and other staff members are NOT allowed to lend access to their accounts to other people. This only leads to confusion and suspicion. It doesn’t matter if the staff member says that he trusts the other person, the other person has not been appointed.
  • Do not pester or harass the authors of various works on social media about versus debating or character statistics. They are often bombarded by numerous questions from fans, and it makes no sense to harass them just so one can get a hypothetical placement for a fictional tier. Asking them a question is fine but repeated one's to try and get a character upgraded is forbidden.
  • Please do not make any attempts to actively find/stalk any of the members here on the Wiki through Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, etc. or harass them. This will result in an immediate ban. If you've happened to find a member or simply wanted to look at the work they do outside of the site, that is fine, but active stalking or harassment is completely forbidden.
  • Off-site behavior is taken into account on the wiki. They include but are not limited to, the following:
    • Threatening someone off-site, be it a threat of violence, hacking, doxxing, sexual harassment, etc.
    • Harassment of users in their immediate surrounding (ex. Someone constantly messaging you with insulting comments via DMs or PMs)
    • Engaging in online criminal activity (Not including piracy).
    • Impersonating someone for malicious purposes.
  • We expect a certain standard of behavior from our staff, both within and outside of the site itself, and involving oneself in the harassment of our userbase, extreme hate speech, or advocating genuine bigotry is unacceptable conduct and may lead to demotion. We can take such action against our staff members if they clearly link their behavior outside of the site to the wiki by using the same account or linking to one platform from the other. Bureaucrats and Human Resources group members can use their discretion when dealing with borderline or uncertain cases.
  • Complete plagiarism of character, weapons, items, vehicles, and verse profiles is completely disallowed. The only exceptions include using a less significant piece of the profile (the background, or explaining how attacks work), or if you already made the profile/made significant changes to the profile on another site. However, the shift must meet our standards, so statistics may differ from another site, if the page is the exact same without acknowledge for our sites standards the profile will promptly be deleted. This will result in a warning, followed by a ban.
  • Do note just because something is not listed here does not automatically mean it is allowed, there are millions upon millions of different scenarios that are very much not allowed that cannot be fully recorded in a single rules list. Common sense is in effect and will be used.
