American Girl Wiki:Warning and Banning Policy

Warning and Banning Policy
This project is just that--a project. Vandalization and other troublemaking is not what we're here for. People who try to cause trouble will be dealt with swiftly.

Reasons for Warning/Banning
Things you can be warned or banned for include but are not limited to:


 * Blanking out pages (erasing all the content from a page
 * Vandalism of any sort.
 * Removing useful content such as pictures from an article.
 * Entering jibberish or spam onto pages.
 * Violating the Policy on Article Creation repeatedly.
 * Harrassing or bothering other members of the project.

IP addresses caught vandalizing will be blocked on the first offense. Users who recieve multiple or final warnings will be banned. Bans can range from the short term to permanent banning, and some offenses will result in no appeal to a ban.

Templates
We now have warning templates, which will be used on user talk pages for violating any policies on the AG Wiki. These are not for use by anyone whos is not Admin.

Who Gets to Warn Others?
Warnings can only given out by Admins and Sysops. No one else has the authority to warn another person formally.

Anyone else--IP address OR usernames--caught putting warnings on other users' pages will be considered vandalizing and be blocked from editing on the first offense for a time limit of at least three months.

This policy is effective immediately on June 27th, 2009. Nethilia 00:01, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
