Wiki Rules

This is a community of caring. You are to treat others how you want to be treated. However, I've found that this doesn't work on wiki's any more then it did at my High School, so here are the rules and punishments for breaking them.

General Rules
There are some general rules of the wiki.


 * Do not edit the main page without permission except to fix spelling errors or grammar or reverse vandalism.
 * Do not edit pages you don't make unless given permission by the maker.
 * Abide by wikia copyright policy.
 * Dual accounts are forbidden - don't use two accounts at once.
 * Do not break a ban or block, period.

Punishments:


 * First Offense - warning and link to rules
 * Second Offense - 24 hour ban
 * Third Offense - 1 week ban
 * Fourth Offense - 1 month ban
 * Fifth Offense - 1 year ban
 * If you break a ban or block, you will have an instant fourth offense punishment, regardless of whether it is a fourth offense or not.

Chat Rules
Chats can get out of hand, so keep it cool.


 * No excessive cussing.
 * No flame wars or trolling. Keep it to yourself.
 * No pornography or links to such.
 * No targeted insulting of users (bullying).
 * Be respectful of others.
 * If banned, do not dodge the ban. Starts at third offense and goes up from there each time you do so.

Punishments:


 * First Offense - Warning and linked to rules.
 * Second Offense - 24 hour ban.
 * Third Offense - 1 week ban.
 * Fourth Offense - 1 month ban.
 * Fifth Offense - 1 year ban (repeats).

Fiction Rules
These are the lose rules of fiction to help keep the wiki stable. If you seek to bend, alter, or remove a rule, contact the top ranking officer please.


 * No "unbeatable" empires. All creatures, empires, and entities have some weakness or another.
 * You cannot plagarize another fiction and call it your own. You can have a syfy fiction, but you must credit it to the original creator(s). And it may get deleted for breaching wikia policy.
 * Your fictions should be in the proper class (Omni's in Omni class, Civ in Civ class).

Punishment(s)


 * First Offense - Warning given. Give 48 hours to make needed changes.
 * Note that the 48 hours starts when the individual makes their next edit.
 * Second Offense - 24 hour ban
 * Third Offense - 1 week ban (7 days)
 * Fourth Offense - 1 Month Ban
 * Fifth Offense - 1 year ban, this repeats over time

Admin Rules
Because I have found admins abusing their power and bending the rules on other wikis, I have made a specific set of admin rules on SGW. This is to protect the rights of the users as best as is possible.


 * Users are not to be blocked from their own talk pages.
 * Users are not to be blocked from My talk page.
 * Users are not to be punished more severly then the rules dictate.
 * You are NEVER allowed to delete someones page without their permission, unless that page meets the following qualifications:
 * Attacks a User or their Fiction directly (as in, not in fiction)
 * Trolls others who view the page.
 * Breaks wikia policy.
 * Has visual pornography (drawn, video, or photos) on it.
 * If you think that a page should be deleted that doesn't follow the above, contact me on my talk page, I will handle it.
 * Remove another admin from power.
 * Use their ability to control the wiki.

The punishments for these are as follows:


 * Removal of admin rights.
 * Banning from wiki for 24 hours to cool off.
