Board Thread:Wiki Improvement/@comment-29956848-20160126015852

Jet brought this up last November. While I'm a little ashamed/embarassed to see that I was the only person to have even come up with a half-baked response to his proposal, I won't dwell on it. The past is the past, I suppose.

As Jet mentioned, the existing chat policy is indeed lacking in substance and does not have a particularly strong foundation of rules to go by. The point of this proposal is to rectify that, so please bear with us. Thank you.

General

 * No Cross-Wiki Drama.
 * This means you will not bring drama from other sites and wikis to this site and continue them here.


 * Profanity is allowed-- however, it may not be used to insult or offend people.


 * Pornographic content is to be kept off of the chat and off of the wiki itself.


 * You will not spam the chat.
 * This includes overuse of emotes, "...", links, and words/phrases.


 * Do not disrespect other users.


 * If a Chat Moderator, Wiki Administrator, or Bureaucrat asks you to stop something, you will stop.
 * With the exception of an argument in Main Chat, you will be given the opportunity to say three more things on the subject, and then you will cease all discussion of said subject, or it will have to be resolved in Private Messages.


 * If you are being harassed in Private Messages, take a screenshot. When no one has evidence, it's just your word against theirs.


 * Do not bring up sensitive issues in chat, this includes suicide, religion, politics, etc.


 * DO NOT use autism or any other mental disorder as an excuse for your behavior.


 * No sockpuppeting. If someone is found sockpuppeting, the puppet will be perma-banned and the original account's ban will extend.

Roleplaying

 * No Godmodding.
 * Godmodding is defined as a character having the ability to do anything without set limits or boundaries.


 * No Powerplaying.
 * Powerplaying is defined as having outside knowledge of a character's powers, weaknesses, backstory, name without having met them prior, etc. This overlaps with what can be considered "metagaming".


 * Once again, no sexual/pornographic content.


 * You may not kill another person's characters without their explicit permission in Main Chat.


 * If no more than two people are roleplaying in Main Chat, please take it to Private Messages.
