Welcome to the Gremlins Wiki. This is a list of rules and guidelines to help you in the wiki community.
General[]
For a full list of rules on FANDOM, you may refer to the Terms of Use.
- Be nice and treat people with respect: Remember to respect other users and talk to each other as equals. Please do not argue, insult, threaten, harass, purposefully offend, or disrespect users or their opinions. Look out for each other and speak up for others if you see them being attacked.
- No intolerance of any kind: Hate speech, violence, phobia, slurs, harassment, bullying, discrimination, racism, personal attacks, and other negative behavior is not allowed under the Terms of Use.
- No hate speech on userpages. You are not allowed to say negative things about other users on your profile. If an administrator notices something insulting on your user page, you will be kindly asked to remove it. Refusing to do so will lead to the removal of the content without further input.
- Vandalism, spamming, or trolling are not allowed. If a user does any of these actions, contact an admin. If you give them more attention, you will be giving them what they want, so don't respond and instead report it.
- Profanities and sexually explicit content are not allowed.
- Don't evade bans using multiple accounts.
- Do not edit other users' userpages: Please don't edit another user's profile page without their approval unless reverting vandalism from someone else or if you're assisting in fixing something that is broken on their page. If a user page has content that is against the rules, notify an administrator to fix it.
- The use of bot programs is allowed only for wiki and Fandom staff members.
Reporting[]
When disruptive actions are observed within the community, the first thing to do is to report this to a staff member. Staff members are the local task force who are granted the special permission to block any user. Reporting varies by the type of infraction, but please carry an escalating issue to the staff to mitigate it.
- Please notify admins immediately if a user is being unruly, disruptive, and do not engage on their walls.
- When reporting a troll, vandal, or sockpuppet, please alert the wiki's admins and moderators, depending on whoever is available at the time. For more details on the degree of spam, you can also visit FANDOM Community Central for more details.
- If there is a massive wave of spam and the moderators are not available to attend to it, alert the Volunteer Spam Task Force.
- If an underage user is on the wiki, please report it with evidence to an administrator.
Above all, always assume good faith in a user. Alerting the staff should only be a last resort, so please do not report them if it is over a small dispute like an edit you disagree on. If there is a problem, it's best to ask the user about the issue first, then take any additional steps if need be.
Blocking[]
Blocking occurs when a user has broken the rules enough times that a temporary ban is placed on their account, preventing them from accessing the wiki. Admins are within their right to administer blocks on users that are harmful, disruptive, or fail to follow the rules. Users who violate the rules for the first time will receive a notice from staff via message wall to follow the rules of the wiki. In the event the pattern repeats, another warning will be given, and a third violation will result in the the user receiving a limited one-week ban. If another violation follows after the first block, a longer block without warning will be administered, and future violations will extend a block each time.
- In case a misunderstanding has occurred, the user who received the block can testify to the administrator who placed it, and discuss the other admins to see if it truly was a mistake.
- To testify, evidence that cannot be altered, such as a direct link to the URL, is required to be shown. Using false information, accomplices, and rumors will nullify your testimony and possibly lengthen your block.
- Attempting to circumvent your block by sockpuppet accounts will result in its extension.
Vandalism, spamming, trolling, hate speech and any forms of racism and discrimination are not tolerated and will result in an infinite block without warning.
