These are the rules that all users on this wiki, including the admins, must abide by. Punishments for breaking the wiki's rules are decided on a case-by-case basis, depending on the severity of the offense and any previous violations.
COPPA
In accordance to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), users under the age of 13 are not allowed to edit on the wiki. If a user is revealed to be underage, please report it to an administrator with evidence. An underage user will be blocked until they are of legal age to contribute (13 or older).
General rules
- Vandalism, trolling, spamming, discriminative, and not safe for work (NSFW) content are all strictly prohibited.
- Discriminative content includes: hatespeech, ethnic slurs, or any hateful action directed towards people based on their orientation, gender, race, etc.
- Not safe for work (NSFW) content includes: sexual or explicit content; generally anything that would be disallowed in a school or workplace. Refrain from mentioning terms listed here, and censor them or put warnings to them if used.
- NSFW discussion can be had if its done in the context of science, such as human anatomy. Keep in mind that admins are allowed to shut down these conversations at any time.
- Avoid multiple posting (posting on the same thread immediately after you just posted), as this is disruptive and a form of spamming; say what you want to say in a single post, and then give others a chance to respond.
- Ways to avoid multiple posting:
- 1) Don't post until you have put all of your thoughts into your post.
- 2) If you think of more thoughts, then just edit your post and add them in, so it's all in one.
- 3) Wait until someone else replies. THEN you can post again.
- 4) If 24 hours have passed since your last post, multiple posting is permitted. Making multiple threads within 24 hours is also permitted, given that each thread pertains to a different topic.
- Please report vandalism to an admin if it has not already been dealt with. It is also highly appreciated for any user to help and undo vandalistic edits.
- As a basic precaution, unless an edit is blatant vandalism, please assume the edits a user makes are in good faith.
- If you notice a vandal has been vandalising multiple wikis across FANDOM, consider reporting it to the VSTF (Volunteer Spam Task Force).
- Please be respectful and civil to other users. Do not disrespect, offend, threaten, insult, or argue with other users.
- If you wish to have a discussion with another user over conflicting view-points, please keep it a civil debate. Admins are allowed to end these discussions at any time if they start to get out of hand.
- Please do not post anything political or of a political nature. Let's keep our wiki focused on She-Ra and the He-Man Universe.
- Please censor swearing. Mild swearing such as damn or crap are permitted, as well as abbreviated ones like "wtf," so long as not used in the context of malicious or offensive intent.
- Listen to the staff. If a staff member asks you to stop doing something that is considered harmful or disruptive, please do so.
- No hacking. Don't use hacking of any type, not even for something little. If it is about editing a protected page, message staff.
- Articles are for canon: The article spaces are only for canon facts and material. We do tolerate fan-made material like opinion rants/fanfics/art, but those can only be posted in your own blog space, user page, and discussion post, or the comments section of an article. In addition, do not link to your fan-works in the articles.
- Please respect the LGBT+ community: This includes misgendering others repetitively without trying to recognize their pronouns. Also, ship head-canons are open for discussion, however, a character with confirmed sexuality should not be shipped into something against their sexuality. For instance, it is not ok to ship a canonically lesbian character into a straight relationship. That is lesphobic and lesbian erasure. We shouldn’t respect ships if the ships themselves are disrespectful to the LGBT+ community. That’s like shipping an aro into any ship at all. The whole POINT of having so much LGBT+ diversity is to be recognized for it. The lesbian characters are essentially representation for real-life lesbians, and shipping them into straight ships is disrespectful to lesbians.
Additionally, please censor the word "q*eer," (the "Q" in LGTBQ+) as there is a history of negative connotations associated with that word. Although it has since been largely embraced by the LGBTQ+ community, it is still a trigger for some people, so we censor it out of respect for them.
- Please do not make light of sensitive topics. Please do not make posts describing violent nature towards characters, especially describing mutilating or killing other characters. It's sensitive and can make others uncomfortable, and it's not funny to joke about that. In addition, serious topics are serious and joking about them can be emotionally triggering.
- Use Trigger Warnings where appropriate. This respects the right of each user to make choices to avoid content that may cause them harm. Full guidance for this may be found in Trigger Warnings Guidance
- Do not endorse problematic ships. Ships that are ab*sive, in*estuous, b*stiality, or p*dophilic should not be supported.
Consequences of Rule Violations
It is expected that all users of this wiki will read and familiarize themselves with the rules of the wiki. But the staff here understand that people make mistakes.
- A first rule violation will result in a gentle and direct reminder of the rule violated.
- A seemingly flagrant or repeated violation of a rule will be met with a private warning on your message wall.
- Beyond that, rule violations will generally result in a warning and a temporary block to the offending user.
- Posting of content deemed harmful to anyone in the community will result in a temporary or permanent block to the offending user.
As a community, it is the responsibility of everyone here to work together to respect the rules to maintain a peaceful, welcoming, and safe wiki environment for everyone.
