Administrivia: Wiki Rules

This page is still subject to revision by admins more powerful than I am. This wiki is designed to help people access information- especially lore- about the RP in a more organised fashion than the CCRP IV studio. In order for it to maintain its function, and to be a safe place for everyone, it's important that everyone edits responsibly.

This is modelled somewhat off the Scratch Community Guidelines, and heavily influenced by the last wiki's rules.

General
The following rules apply to ALL parts of the wiki.


 * 1) Keep the content appropriate for all ages. Refrain from cursing, describing violence in an unacceptable graphic way, or including any content that is inappropriate in any other way. Any external pages linked to from the wiki must follow the same rules.
 * 2) Do not discriminate against users for any reason.
 * 3) Remember to keep RP relations separate from the users. It's OK to be annoyed at a country that repeatedly declares war on you; it's not OK to drag that annoyance into every non-RP interaction with the player.
 * 4) Generally keep interactions positive and/or constructive.
 * 5) For safety information, don't give out any personal information that could lead to someone tracking you down IRL.

Content Pages
The following rules apply to the regular pages.


 * 1) Don't interfere with other people's pages. Don't make major changes without the creator's permission, and minor edits must be easily revocable.
 * 2) Don't include unnecessary pot holes (randomly inserted hyperlinks to unrelated pages, either within the wiki or externally). The only exception to this is generally approved pranks, like the rickroll page.
 * 3) Your country and lore pages must abide by the standard RP rules. Anything that would be allowed in a real-time RP situation probably shouldn't be allowed in your history either.

CommentStreams, Talk Pages and Forums
The following rules apply to any part of the wiki facilitating communication between editors.


 * 1) Unless we are forced to move to the wiki, which we hopefully will not, do not use the commenting facilities to role play. Anything outside of Scratch will not be canon.
 * 2) We don't like spam any more than the Scratch Team does; we're just a bit more reasonable about denying people access because of it. Please don't fill the comments with unnecessary content. The only exception to this, as with the regular pages, are generally approved pranks.
 * 3) Please keep chitchat to people's talk pages, or create a designated forum for it. If your CCRP-relevant conversation on someone's country page is heading into 'what we had for dinner' territory, continue it elsewhere.
 * 4) If people have more specific rules about the nature and content of their talk page comments, please obey them.
 * 5) Nobody has the right to enforce stricter content rules over the entire wiki, unless the admins agree that it is necessary.

Failure to abide by these guidelines
Comment policing admins operate on the wiki. If either of them see a violation of these rules, you will receive a warning.

If you receive three warnings on related issues, your editing privileges will be revoked for three days.

Repeated three-day bans may lead to longer ban periods.

Permanent bans will be given to those who are actively trying to damage the wiki, RP, or players, and all admins must agree that it is a necessary step before it is enacted. [Memo to fellow admins: should this include the comment police, or only full admins? The former makes it slightly harder for an unfair ban to take effect.]

Those who have been subject to a permanent ban but have experienced a genuine change of heart may submit an appeal in some format and send the link to one of the admins' Scratch profiles. They will then discuss whether to let you back in or not.
