User blog:Contie/Bans and Warnings

NOTE: This guide is a draft and may be subject to changes depending on feedback.

Each of the topics discussed in here can be found in more detail on the community guidelines, article guidelines, and style guide. Read them to have a better understanding on the topics mentioned here.

Indefinite Blocks
Indefinite blocks will be given to those who impersonate other users/other individuals (such as celebrities,) troll, post pornography, post gore, are insistently queerphobic (ie: coming on the wiki simply to call everyone the f-slur), are insistently ableist (ie: coming on the wiki to call neurodivergent/disabled individuals the r-slur), are insistently racist (ie: coming on the wiki to call black individuals the n-slur), or anything else similar (such as being insistently discriminatory towards a religion.)

Timed Blocks
The below offenses will result in a timed block. If you are blocked at least three times, you may be blocked indefinitely. The time of the block will depend on the severity of the issue. The general ranges are...
 * Minor Inconvenience -> 2 Weeks
 * Major Inconvenience -> 1 Month
 * Potentially Harmful -> 2 Months
 * Very Harmful -> 3 Months

Repeatedly Disregarding Articles Guidelines
We obviously won't block you for making a typo, but if you fail to credit sources we may take action. We believe that creative work should be credited and respected.

Implying/stating Paraphilic Disorders are LGBTQ+
If someone implies a paraphilic disorder (pedophilia, zoophilia, incestual attraction, etc) is a queer identity in a misinformed/uneducated manner, they will be blocked.

Exclusionism
If someone exhibits exclusionist behavior in a misinformed/uneducated manner, they will be blocked.

Misgendering
If someone misgenders and assumes the pronouns of an individual more than twice, they will be blocked.

Satirical or False Edits
If someone is found repeatedly making or editing pages in an incorrect manner they will be blocked. This includes making "comments" on a page, making joke/satire pages, needlessly renaming pages, cussing excessively and using excessive slang on pages, removing information, and anything similar.

Evading/ignoring exclusivity
If someone is caught creating a flag for an exclusive identity (ie: an intersex variation, a religious identity, etc) they are not a part of, they will be blocked.

Varying
If a user has redefined someone's terms in any way (ie: adding a detail about a xenogender that wasn't approved of by the coiner, redefining a term) they will be blocked. This also includes altering someones flag, attempting to replace the original flag, and/or creating a new flag for a term when the creator has requested not to.

Additions to blocks
If slurs, insults, threats, or guilt-tripping (suicide-baiting, gaslighting, etc) are used as an attempt to get out of a block or to scare/harm the staff, the individual in question may instead receive an indefinite block.

Warnings
If small guidelines are broken, or someone has questionable behavior, they will receive a warning on their message wall. If they receive multiple warnings, they will be blocked. The duration of the block will depend on the severity.

Minor acts include the following:
 * Slight aggression and/or passive aggressiveness.
 * Evading requests of TWs.
 * Evading requests of tone tags.
 * Evading translating typing quirks.
 * Advertising something/soliciting upvotes.
 * Off topic discussion.
 * Spamming.
 * Creating meaningless/spam worthy polls or polls that as "is _ identity valid?"
 * Reposting before 30 minutes have gone by.
