TW: brief mention violence of abuse; mention of suicide and self-harm in guideline 13.
Be nice and treat others with respect. All discussion posts, replies and comments must follow Miraheze's [https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct Code of Conduct] and [https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Content_Policy Content Policy] as well as those for this wiki's [https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Content_Policy Community Guidelines].
Users who commit small violations of guidelines will not be immediately banned, but rather given a warning and directed to these guidelines to learn why what they did was against community guidelines. If, after being directed to and reading those guidelines, the user continues to violate guidelines, then they will be banned. This does NOT apply to harassment, discrimination, invalidation, or any other form of harm or vandalism.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The following guidelines apply to all interactions with other users on this wiki (including the comment sections of articles and the discussions section of this site).
Line 17 ⟶ 14:
1.2) No blatantly/excessively toxic behaviour, passive-aggression or otherwise disrespectful posts/comments.
* Anything that directly insults or threatens another user can result in a ban anywhere from three months to indefinitely, depending on the severity. This includes but is not limited to threats of violence, intentional misgendering, unwanted sexual or romantic advances, or continuing to do something that makes another user uncomfortable when you have been told to stop.
* Do not condone violence against or the demonization of any group (regardless of the group in question). This includes demonizing pedophiles, necrophiles, zoophiles, or other paraphilic disorders. Paraphilic disorders are mental illnesses, and demonizing such groups is included under ableism.
*Do not make "jokes" about killing anybody regardless of the context or your intentions.
1.3) Be respectful of others
*Minorly passive-aggressive posts/comments or posts/comments with generally disrespectful tones such as posts with content along the lines of "block me if you must, I don’t care," or similar will be removed and blatant/repeated instances of this may result in a warning or block.
1.4) No excessive "mini-modding" behaviour (attempting to enforce guidelines without being a staff member); report users who have violated the rules to staff members via the reporting feature. Asking a user to include appropriate trigger/content warnings in their posts does not violate this guideline.
1.5) Advertising
*Do not ask individuals to follow you or message you on another social media account in the comments of an article. Only give out your social media as a means of contacting another user via message walls or in the discussions section if it is relevant to the conversation, not unsolicited, and not for the purpose of trying to garner follows/likes/traction.
*Threads and posts that solicit upvotes will be deleted.
*Do not "advertise" your article in the comments/replies of an unrelated article/post.
*Do not "recommend" someone else an identity you made when it is not relevant to what they are asking.
1.7) Impersonation of other users or famous individuals will not be tolerated. Any posts will be deleted and your account(s) will be banned.
Line 61 ⟶ 50:
3.2) Use of language and slurs:
*Do not use racial, cultural, or ableist slurs (even if you can reclaim them).
*If using an LGBTQ+ slur in a reclaimed manner, censor it. If mentioning the slur (without being able to reclaim it) say "the _ slur" (ie: "the f slur"). This does not apply to queer, as queer is typically not seen as a slur anymore.
*Do not use words such as psychopath, psycho, sociopath, narcissism, narcissist, and similar unless you are referring to psychosis, sociopathic disorders, AsPD, and/or NPD. Using those words in any other manner will be considered ableist, as it spreads the false narrative that those traits make someone evil.
==Typing quirks==
*Any typing quirk that interferes with the letters of words or the overall comprehensibility of words - no matter how “minor” - must be translated, as screen readers cannot always “understand” what is being said.
*Posts that include the use of typing quirks must include a translation within the post if one is able to be provided.
If a translation cannot be provided by the user posting, they must ask for one to be provided by pinging at least one typing quirk translator (see this list for users who are willing to be pinged for translating typing quirks: https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/User_blog:Contie/Typing_Quirk_Translators).
*Users who do not either provide a translation or ping a translator to ask for one to be provided will have their posts removed, and may receive a warning or block if the behaviour continues.
These rules are in place to ensure that the wiki is accessible to those who use a screen reader, as well as dyslexic, hard-of-sight, and other disabled/neurodivergent individuals who may struggle to read typing quirks.
Line 88 ⟶ 71:
6.1) Crediting
*When posting someone else's art (fanart, reference art, Picrews, etc) you must credit the artist and link to the original piece/source (even if an art piece has a watermark or signature).
*If the art was made by an anonymous user, link to where the anonymous user submitted it.
*This also applies to using code that you didn't write yourself.
6.2) Respect artists
*Follow artists' terms of services and respect artists' boundaries.
*Do not criticise someone's artwork unless criticism was asked for.
*Do not ask someone for free artwork unless they have offered to create free artwork.
*Do not trace or otherwise steal artwork.
==Wiki-related discourse==
Line 112 ⟶ 88:
7.2) “Discourse” relating to other wiki users is not allowed; users should be reported when necessary, rather than “called out”
*Posts/polls directed at specific users with intent to insult, discredit, "call out," argue with, or otherwise complain about them will not be permitted.
*Do not make posts on the discussions page calling out users for breaking the rules. Instead, use the report feature, and/or contact a staff member directly via their message wall.
*For complaints about a staff member, the Wiki's Bureaucrat should be contacted directly via their message wall or on Discord.
*Absolutely no polls or posts asking individuals to share their opinions on another user.
*Users should not ask for genuine criticism or ask "do you like me" unless they are absolutely sure they can take negative feedback.
If you want to confront another user privately but are uncomfortable doing so or unsure how to proceed, do not take it to the discussions page. Instead, contact a mod or admin privately to ask for help, and they will assist you in confronting the issue in the best way possible, without starting drama.
Line 137 ⟶ 108:
==DNIs==
9.1) Do not breach someone’s DNI unless you are a staff member that needs to have an important discussion with the individual and/or you are reaching out to a staff member for an important matter. If you are found purposefully breaching a DNI, then you will be issued a warning, and if done again, you will receive a temporary ban.
Line 144 ⟶ 115:
==Triggers
10.1) Do not directly ask a user what their triggers are.
*If a user does not list their triggers on their profile, assume they do not want to share them.
*Do not make posts asking users to share their triggers.
10.2) Please refer to this post for more information on what should and shouldn’t be marked with a trigger/content warning: https://lgbta.miraheze.org/wiki/User_blog:ThatAnnoyingDemigirl/Guide_to_the_wiki#Trigger_Warnings
*This applies to any forms of interaction on the wiki, including posts on users' message walls.
==Safeguarding==
11.1) Do not come here for serious medical help, advice, or a diagnosis.
*This site is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Do not attempt to diagnose another individual or give medical advice that one needs to be qualified in order to safely give. Doing so can result in a temporary ban. For example, a post describing one’s symptoms and then asking if other users think you have a certain illness are not allowed.
*Asking about whether you might be alterhuman is allowed. Asking about plurality and whether you might be plural is also allowed, however, asking whether users think you have DID, OSDD or any other disorder is not allowed.
*As long as appropriate trigger warnings are used and any violence is not described in graphic/explicit detail: describing a situation and asking if what you experienced was abuse is allowed. However, you should be cautious with what you reveal about the situation for safety purposes.
11.2) Share experiences and resources safely.
*Users may ask for safe coping strategies and resources as long as the post doesn’t imply that the user will be in immediate danger if they do not receive said advice.
*Users may share experiences as long as they do not imply that any other given user may have the same underlying medical conditions or to try to ask for a diagnosis, etc.
11.3) Safeguarding of littles and age regressors
*If an individual who is mentally under the age of 13 is found interacting on the wiki, they will be reminded of the rule and/or blocked for an hour, for their own safety.
*If this happens repeatedly, and it becomes clear that a user system cannot keep themselves safe, or that a system cannot collectively keep their littles safe, an account may receive a longer block, at the discretion of the wiki's staff members.
*Systems, where a little is fronting while "supervised" by older headmates, will still be held to this rule, however, age dreamers and systems where a little is co-conscious with a headmate who is 13+ years old will not be held to this rule.
==User privacy==
12.1) Keep personal information private.
*If a user would like to post a photo they took, they must censor or crop out their faces, in addition to all personal information shown in the picture or their picture will be deleted. One's entire face must be fully censored, with no exceptions; if one is wearing a face-covering in the image, one should also censor that face-covering.
*No photos containing "landmarks" (eg: historical statues, iconic buildings) that are near where you live, or any other information that could potentially allow others to identify your location.
*Users who are (bodily) under 17 years old may not disclose their exact age, due to safety/privacy concerns. One may say that one is, eg: "a minor", "14-15 years old", "a minor over the age of 16", etc, but one may not indicate an exact age. It is assumed that all users will be bodily aged 13+ in accordance with FANDOM's TOS.
Line 194 ⟶ 151:
13.1) No excessive venting.
*Users should only make one post for general venting per day (in the venting category of the discussions section) and use the reply section of that post to add additional venting throughout the day (for plural users, this may be one post per headmate for general venting per day).
13.2) Posts saying/implying that you are planning/going to commit suicide or otherwise harm yourself will be removed for the emotional wellbeing of all users. Repeating this behaviour may result in your account being blocked.
Line 204 ⟶ 159:
13.4) No guilt-tripping or sympathy “baiting” posts.
*Do not use venting posts as means to manipulate other users. For example: making a post venting about feeling terrible directly after someone criticizes you to garner sympathy, or attempting to guilt-trip staff members for warning/punishing you appropriately.
*Other more minor forms of guilt-tripping may result in posts/comments being deleted and repeated instances of this behaviour may result in a warning. For example, trying to make other users feel guilty for not responding to your post/comment, eg: “reposting because everyone ignores me”.
*No posts with “please reply”/”please respond”/”please read”/"please interact" or anything similar in the title of a post. Do not otherwise pressure/guilt-trip users into interacting with your posts, especially for posts that are likely to be triggering.
==NSFW content/topics==
*Discussion/posts/replies/comments that relate to NSFW topics is allowed as long as it is relevant to the article, a genuine question and/or a genuine response to a question and the main purpose is educational.
*Any discussions relating to NSFW topics must be marked with the appropriate trigger warning(s).
*Discussion of medical topics, intersex variations, or altersex identities is not inherently NSFW.
*NSFW images are not allowed.
The following guidelines are specifically for the discussion section of this site:
==Reposting==
*For any reposting, 30 minutes must pass between each instance of a post being shared.
*One repost maximum: general venting posts.
*Two reposts maximum: most other general posts/polls.
*Three reposts maximum: posts looking for terms/help, venting posts looking for safe, non-medical advice (eg: coping strategies, resources), games.
==Polls==
