Tetragon Fortress Fanon Wiki:Rules

As with all FANDOM wikis, you are required to follow the FANDOM Community Guidelines and the FANDOM Terms of Use. Along with that, the Tetragon Fortress Wiki has some additional rules that need to be followed. Rules are subject to change so check here often. We are not responsible for your inability to read the rules. "I didn't read the rules" is not a valid excuse.

Warning System
If a moderator catches you breaking one of the normal or major rules--or repeated violations of the minor rules, they will give you a warning on your wall and if you break another rule within 2 weeks of receiving a previous warning, you will give another warning. Breaking a rule within 4 weeks of receiving your second warning will result in a block, known as the three-strike system. The length of the block up to the admin's discretion. Be sure to also read these as we are not responsible for your inability to read the warnings either.

If your actions are severe enough, you may receive double warnings or may even be blocked outright.

Rules
'''Note that just because an action is not listed on this page doesn't mean you are always free to perform that action; anything that can be considered severe is a valid reason for a warning/block. If you feel like an action warrants a warning/block, then don't perform it. You may also contact a staff member to ask if the desired action may get you in trouble or not. In short, use your common sense.'''

'''This also applies to how major or minor a rule. Just because a rule is in the minor section doesn't mean that using it in an extremely obscene way won't get you blocked.'''

Minor Rules
When these rules are broken, all it simply warrants is a reminder from a staff member, telling them that this was not allowed and it may encourage them to actually read the rules if they haven't done so already. No warnings yet. Note for staff members: if the user refuses to listen and/or keeps breaking the rules then you can move on to warns.


 * 1) Do not ask to be a staff member on the wiki - The first rule of becoming a staff member on this wiki is to not ask for it in the first place. Staff members are hand picked.
 * 2) Do not spam/flood in the comments - Do not repeat the same sentences or emojis over and over again. All this does is flood the comment sections. This includes empty spaces.
 * 3) Extremely short blogs are treated as spam and will be deleted.
 * 4) No mini-modding - Do not warn another user for breaking rules when you are not staff yourself. If you do see a user breaking the rules, contact moderation and let us do the rest.
 * 5) No edit warring - Edit warring is when two or more editors constantly override each other's edits in a form of disagreement. All users involved with the edit war will be warned. If you do end having some conflicts with another editor, contact them and work up a solution.
 * 6) * This includes reverting vandalism or bad-faith edits. You may revert their edit once but if they keep on doing what they're doing, do not continue to revert their edits. Instead, as mentioned above, work up a solution with the user in question or contact moderation.

Normal Rules
These rules are a little more serious and will likely receive a warning if someone is caught breaking these rules.
 * 1) Be nice to other users in the wiki. Do not directly attack, belittle, or harass anyone in anyway.
 * 2) * Suicide threats are definitely not allowed, even if is a joke. Suicide is not a joke and the user will always receive a double-warning.
 * 3) * You may recognize someone in-game here on the wiki. If you do, do not bring up any topics about you killing/dominating them as a way to humiliate them. All you're doing is damaging their ego and may even cause them to leave the wiki or even quit Tetragon Fortress entirely.
 * 4) * Respect other people's opinions. Just because made an opinion about a weapon that you don't at all agree with does not justify attacking them. If you want to oppose against a opinion, do so with a consecutive response, not a threat.
 * 5) Swearing is allowed in any of the social areas of the wiki (comments, blogs, etc). However, there are still limitations.
 * 6) * Swear words are not allowed to be added into articles.
 * 7) * Overuse of swearing is not allowed (typically 4+ swear words in a sentence/paragraph). Be sure to limit how much you swear in one sentence.
 * 8) * Directly swearing at another user breaks the first rule on this page and is obviously not allowed.
 * 9) * Racial swearing is deemed severe and will always be blocked if a user is caught doing so.
 * 10) Do not edit another user's profile unless they give you permission too. We prefer you link where ever you got permission in the edit summary so we can avoid searching for it and you can avoid a misunderstanding.
 * 11) *Note that if you have an obscene profile page or one that just generally breaks the rules, us admins have the right modify your profile page without your permission for that reason only. You may speak with the admin in question about why they edited your profile. If a consensus was made that the edit was unnecessary, you may revert it—so long as the admin hasn't done so already. Otherwise, do not revert their edits, or you may be risking your profile page being locked—temporarily or even permanently.
 * 12) Loop-holing or attempting to loophole around a rule is not allowed.
 * 13) Do not edit pages that aren't your yours without another user's permission.

Major Rules
These rules tend to be pretty severe and will breaking these will likely result in double warning or even just an immediate block.


 * 1) No vandalizing - Do not deliberately change or destroy an article's content. Doing so will always get the user blocked for one month or more. Vandalism includes, but not limited to:
 * 2) * Removing content from a page
 * 3) * Inserting false information
 * 4) * Replacing content with gibberish or offensive statements
 * 5) Sockpuppetry - While it is not against the rules to own multiple accounts, if the alternate account you created was for the purpose of harming the wiki or its inhabitants, it will be blocked indefinitely and your main account--if we know what it is--will be punished. Some examples of sockpuppet accounts are:
 * 6) * To evade your block.
 * 7) * To troll or disrespect other users including yourself.
 * 8) * To purposely break the rules.
 * 9) No impersonating - Do not attempt to impersonate another user. If we are suspicious of impersonation, we will ask the account to confirm that they are who they are. Failure to comply will have their account blocked permanently.
 * 10) In order to comply with FANDOM's Terms of Service and their implementation of COPPA, all registered users on FANDOM must be 13 years old or older to edit or participate in the social areas. If you are found or suspected to be underage, you will be blocked until sometime you turn 13. Everyone is still free to view our content no matter what age.

Staff Rules
If you see a staff member breaking a rule, bring it to attention of a bureaucrat.
 * 1) No abusing your powers - If you have seen to be admin abusing, your rights will be removed and you may receive a temporary block. Admin abusing involves, but not limited to:
 * 2) * Blocking users for invalid reasons
 * 3) * Blocking users for overextended amount of times
 * 4) * Editing other users comments and thread with a bad intention
 * 5) * Deleting valuable pages or personal blogs that don't break the rules
 * 6) Breaking any of the rules above may result in a demotion, not always though.
 * 7) Assume good faith - Know that a person's intentions were good. Even if they made an edit that needs to be reverted, don't assume that they are out there to ruin the project and don't just label their edits as vandalism and block them unless it is clearly vandalism. For more information on the topic, read Help:Assuming good faith.
 * 8) No favoritism - While you may like a person more than anyone else and you may even be their best friend, that does not mean they are free from warnings/blocks from you. Don't forget someone broke rule just because they are your best friend.
 * 9) Inactivity - If a staff member is deemed to be inactive (no contributions for 2 months or more) they will be demoted back to a normal user.
 * 10) * If you want your rights to be reinstated, edit for seven consecutive days in row in the main namespace. This is to ensure that you are back and ready to help out on the wiki again.
 * 11) * You would like to stay as a normal user, that is fine.
 * 12) Only warn users about their recent actions. If user has broken a rule but no one has warned them within two weeks of the action being performed, it is considered to be "expired" and you may not warn them. Some rules are exempt from this and you may be blocked no matter how old your action was. So far, the only rules that applies to this are sockpuppetry, impersonation of another user, or being underage (<13).
