 .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.

 .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.

 .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.
 .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.

 .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 racial, cultural, or ableist slurs (even if you can reclaim them).
+*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.

-• 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.
-• 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.
