Wiki Rules

Welcome to the Emocao Wiki! Below are the rules; please read them before you make an edit. Check this page regularly to know about the updates and changes. If you have any questions, feel free to ask an admin.

Edit Rules

 * Ask Almei before you add anything here. No exceptions. If your FC has not been officially canonized yet, it is not allowed to be put on this wiki.
 * Art theft of any kind, including taking and recoloring parts from other FCs, is strictly prohibited. [Severe temporary ban. Will be extended to permaban if offender continues their ways or has recieved multiple bans in the past.]
 * Absolutely do not use an FC for a fan-fic or anything similar if it does not belong to you, unless the owner trusts you and you know how to write the character's personality. This is a form of character theft and is forbidden here; no exceptions. When in doubt, ask the owner for permission. And yes, this rule does carry over to what you do on the forum! [Major to severe temporary ban, at admin's discretion. If you are trusted you will get by with a warning- once. Severe is much more likely if offender breaks a communication rule when confronted. Permaban is possible if offender is persistent.]
 * Please do not edit a page if it doesn't belong to you, unless you have the permission to do so. The only thing you may add without permission is anything the user has given blanket permission for, as well as mandatory categories. Admins may modify or remove anything that breaks a rule. [Warning upon first offense, minor temporary ban if behavior continues- temporary ban types will rank up the more this is done]
 * No pornographic, inappropriate, perverted or disturbing images or FC themes. If someone asks you to take an image down or tone down your FC, do so. [Permaban if porn, severe temporary ban if less bad]
 * Please do not make articles only to troll or vandalize. These will be removed. [Permaban]
 * There is no tolerance for vandalism here. [Severe temporary or permaban, admin's discretion]
 * No cheating for badges. This includes any form of edit. [Warning to major temporary ban, admin's discretion]
 * No edit warring. If your edit is rolled back, ask the admin/rollback who did it why it happened, rather than changing it back yourself. (If your edit was unnecessary or spam, don't bother.) [Warning to temporary ban, admin's discretion]
 * Please put time and effort into your characters. Characters made solely as jokes or just to get more attention will not be tolerated. [Warning to minor temporary ban, admin's discretion; character may be put up for adoption]

Profile Page Rules

 * Do not add an enemies section to your page. This is controversial and ties in with the rule of showing respect to all users. [Offending content removed; temporary ban]
 * Do not use racial slurs or insult religion, sexuality, or anything similar. [Offending content removed; major temporary or permanent ban, depending on severity]
 * No suggestive blog posts. Personal ones are fine, as long as they tie into the Flipline community in some way. [Blog post edited or removed, depending on severity; warning- minor temporary ban on further offenses]

Miscellaneous Rules

 * Please think through what you're saying before you say it. If it sounds like it might be taken as mean, or just doesn't make a lot of sense when you look at it a second time, you probably shouldn't post it. [No consequences beyond warning]
 * You're allowed to swear here, but be civil about it. Don't abuse this power. [Warning to minor temporary ban; admin's discretion]
 * Do not add pointless or spam comments in the comments section. [Warning to temporary ban, admin's discretion; comment deleted]
 * Show respect towards all users. Do not flame, harass or otherwise attack a person for any reason. This applies double to admins. [Warning to permaban, admin's discretion]
 * Absolutely no racism, homophobia, transphobia or similar things. We want to be an accepting community, and excluding someone for an aspect of who they are is the exact opposite of accepting. Note that this does not encompass only aggressive hatred- casual homophobia/racism/etc. will get you warned as well. [Warning; bans if behavior persists]
 * Opinions are opinions; do not bash someone for their opinion. [Warning; bans are not possible for this]
 * No sockpuppeting to evade a ban, under any circumstances. [Permaban; any future accounts will be banned as well]
 * No matter how you do it, never beg for fan art. Let people make fan art as they wish. [Warning to temporary ban, admin's discretion; fanart-begging removed]
