Arsenal Wiki:Rules

To find the rules/guidelines for editing, please go to this page.

Welcome to the Arsenal Wiki, this is the Rules and Guidelines, which is meant to keep the site a safe environment for users <18 years of age. As with all other FANDOM wikis, Arsenal Wiki follows the Community Guidelines set here, along with following Terms of Use set by FANDOM here.

Please Read

There is a three strike system; get three warnings and you're blocked. If your action is severe enough, you may even be blocked outright. We are not responsible for your inability to read the rules. If you observe a member breaking a rule, you may screenshot it and bring it to the attention to a staff member. You will be blocked for a week if you break the first rule. An additional two weeks if you break it after your block expires. If a user has gone two weeks (four weeks if previous blocks were given) without being given another warn, it will be removed. Block times are at the staff member's discretion, but often range from a day to two weeks in length. tl;dr: use your common sense

List of Rules

• General Rules
• Staff Rules
• Discussion Rules
• Discord Rules

1. Remain kind & respectful to other users. Remember that they are other people. This means no antagonizing others on the wiki in text or photos.
   • Everyone has their own opinions. Please respect them, and avoid badgering each other for differing opinions. Examples include weapon preferences, tier lists, whatever the best skin is, et cetera.
   • No platform favoritism/elitism. While there are certainly differences between all platforms Arsenal is available on, this does not mean that users should be harsh and disrespect others on a different platform.
   • No telling people to suicide. We don't condone the act of telling other users to kill themselves. Suicide is not a joke.
   • No threatening other users. We want this wiki to be a safe place for our users, not a place for your toxicity.
2. Vandalizing pages or any part of the wiki will lead to severe punishment. Vandalizing a page usually manifests in deliberately changing or destroying the article's contents.
   • This includes insertion of false information, although the punishment for this offense is based off the staff member's judgement.
   • This also includes spamming the same message within discussion posts. Spamming is not conducive to getting your message across and will only be met with a punishment.
3. No NSFW content. Posting anything NSFW in nature, whether gory media or sexual content, will be met with a 1-year ban or more.
4. No racism, homophobia, or violent content. Foul language is allowed in blog posts, article comments, and other social areas on the wiki; however, content containing racist slurs, homophobia, and/or extremely violent content will be removed and the user will be given a severe punishment.
5. Do not continuously ask for staff membership. If someone meets our requirements and if we are in need of more staff, we will ask.
   • Do not impersonate staff either.
6. Do not promote exploiting. Do not post footage of exploiting or promote exploiting on Arsenal.
7. Please refrain from minimodding. Minimodding occurs when non-staff users push the rules of the wiki and attempt to enforce them, rather than reporting these rule breakers to the staff members.
8. No underage users. If staff suspects that a user is possible under 13, they will likely be blocked until they are of age. We don't accept web.roblox as evidence a user being underage. You do not need to show your face or tell your birthday to staff to prove you are underage, or to prove that you are of age.

• If a staff member is seen to be breaking the rules, please screenshot it and bring it to the attention of a bureaucrat/admin. If a higher rank is caught breaking rules, please bring attention to a bureaucrat.
  1. Do not unofficially warn a member for an infraction more than once. It's alright to verbally warn someone once (for certain rules), but if it's done again there should be real consequences.
  2. No favoritism. Basically, don't forget someone had broke a rule just because you like them. Everyone's equal here.
  3. You are in fact, a staff member. Please go out of your way to avoid talking harshly to others. This also includes abuse of your power.
  4. While vandals may be an ever present threat to our community, it is recommended you "do not feed the trolls" and place your opinion within their message wall.
  5. Inactive administrator (No editing activity for >2 months), your sysop permissions will be removed. Contact a bureaucrat if you would like to be reinstated.
     • Inactive content moderators (No editing activity for >2 months) will be demoted back to a normal user.

1. Be respectful to all other users. Just because they have an opinion different from yours, doesn't allow you to batter them for it. This includes things like platform used, skins, tier lists, etc.
2. Please don't post content that has been overdone, as we strive to create a varied and plentiful discussion.
3. Don't post things about, "Who is the best admin?", or "Who is the best contributor?", or things along those lines. Everyone does something useful here, no matter how big or small.
4. Posting sexual content, such as content containing sexual intercourse, fetishes, and other forms of pornography is not allowed, and will be met with a 1-year block or more.
5. Necroposting is not allowed, which is replying to a post that is more than 2 weeks old, and is now too old to serve as a discussion point.

As with creating an account on FANDOM, users should be 13 years old or over, should you choose to create a Discord account.

• If you are suspected or found to be underage, you will be banned/blocked on both the Discord server and on FANDOM due to a violation of the Discord (and by extension, FANDOM) account.

When joining the Discord, please read the rules and verify your FANDOM account in the channel, #verify.

Specifications

• Most normal users will not have to worry about these rules. Feel free to skip over these, as they'll likely only come up in niche or repeated cases.
  1. Sockpuppeting, or ban evasion, is not allowed. If someone bypasses their block by utilizing alternate accounts, those accounts will subsequently be blocked until the main account's block has expired.
  2. The only place to self promote is from your own profile, self promoting anywhere else will result in a warning.
  3. Do not remove a warning message from your own message wall. This creates the illusion of a clean record, while also making it harder for staff to keep track of how many more warnings one has received before getting blocked. We can view deleted messages.
  4. Datamining is fine as long as it's for informational purposes but please do not leak any of the items that weren't first seen in public.
  5. Copying information from other sites and adding it on to pages is plagiarism, which is not allowed.
