Early Man Wiki:Rules

These are the rules enforced everywhere on this wiki. You are required to follow them in order to remain an active member on the wiki.

General

 * In accordance to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the Terms of Use, all users under 13 are prohibited from making any form of contribution to the wiki.
 * If a user is found to be underage, respectfully report it to an administrator, providing proper evidence.
 * Observe civil behavior; respect other users. Please do not argue, insult, threaten, harass, purposefully offend, or disrespect users or their opinions.
 * Always assume good faith.
 * This is the assumption that all edits made on this wiki are made with the intent to improve it.
 * Avoid outright reverting edits that seem to have been made in good faith unless it is very obvious vandalism.
 * If you must do so, explain why, either in the edit summary or on the user's message wall.
 * Respect the staff when they ask you to stop doing something harmful or disruptive.
 * Acronyms and abbreviations that are typically known to contain one of the disallowed swear words are not allowed.
 * Do not advertise non-affiliated wikis (excluding Wikia Community Central) or commercial websites with the intent for someone to view your product.
 * Linking to Chicken Run related material or a post on your Twitter, Facebook, or Tumblr (or other) account(s) is allowed, so long as it is appropriate and without the intent of purchasing or joining a program, group, activity or event.
 * Do not attempt xenowiki ban appeals.
 * Users should never beg for administrator/staff rights.
 * These positions are granted only to those trusted and deemed suitable for the responsibility.
 * Begging for a position is childish and makes it seem the user only wants to be an administrator for the sake of having the title or the control.
 * It should be noted that most users became part of the staff without asking.
 * If you show you are a responsible and trustworthy user dedicated to improving the wiki, chances are you'll eventually have a position, so long you're not doing it for the sake of having a position.

Do Not...

 * Insult.
 * Troll.
 * Spam.
 * Do not add clipart or fan art of Characters.
 * Images need to be in appropriate quality. Images that are too dark, too bright, out of focus, or blurry/pixelated will be removed. Images taken using a camera off of a TV screen or monitor are usually the result of this.
 * Discriminate.
 * Use strong language.
 * Minor profanity is permitted (such as hell, damn, piss, ass, or bastard when not frequently used or directed at another user) but severe profanity such as the F-Bomb, S-Bomb, "Female Dog" and any slurs are prohibited, even when censored or shortened.
 * Use a bot program without approval or control by a staff member of said bot.
 * Impersonate or fabricate false information about other users.
 * Support or encourage vandalism or breaking the rules.
 * Impersonate other users or evade bans by using multiple accounts.
 * Users caught doing this will have all of their known accounts blocked indefinitely.
 * Post any form of Spam in any sort of way. Spam is completely annoying and is a serious violation to Wikia's Terms of Use. In most cases, users are globally and indefinitely blocked for posting spam.
 * Spam will be deleted when discovered, and the user who posted it will be blocked from further editing.
 * Add theoretical, speculative, or non-canon material to articles.
 * Link to unofficial or illegal ways to view or share, post, or discuss leaked Early Man content
 * Treat new contributors with respect, and if they make a bad edit, give respectful criticism so they can learn how they can improve their contributions.

Safety

It's recommended that you do not post personal information about yourself, such as your school, home address, etc. Remember, anything on this website can be seen by anyone on the internet.
