Yogscast Wiki:Chat Policy

This is the Yogscast Wikia Chat Policy. Those who do not follow these rules will be punished accordingly. Be sure to carefully read these rules, as not having read them is not an excuse for breaking this policy. The Yogscast Wikia Community Policy also counts here.

Policies

Inappropriate

1. Asking the same question again and again is considered spamming.
2. Since you must be at least 13 years old according to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, this age limit is also advised for joining chat

Recommended

1. If you're over 13, join the chat! It's a great way to communicate with other editors, exchange ideas and to just talk.
2. Invite other fellow Wikians to join the chat!
3. Be respectful to others.
4. This is still the Internet, so be careful with personal information.
5. Use common sense. If what you are doing or are about to do feels like it's against this policy, it most likely is.

Bans

If the offense is minor enough, you will get one warning.

If an offense has a ' ~ ' next to it, that means that first time is a warning, continuation of that offense is a kick, then a ban.
