Spinpasta Wiki:Site Rules/Chat Rules

'''Rules made by Metafawker, in October 15, 2013. UPDATED IN October 21, 2013 by Rockamorow. UPDATED OFFENSES IN October 21, 2013 (U.S.A. UTC TIME) by Metafawker.'''

Since people now use the chat of this wiki, there will only be just a few rules for chat.

NOTICE:
Moderators, Administrators, and Users are NOT''' allowed to ask users for their age. This is a violation of the Wikia TOU. Doing so will result in an immediate kick from chat.'''

'''We are not the police. We must abide by Wikia's TOU, but we are not the bully patrol. Do not harass people or try to trick them into revealing any personal information. You will have your chat privileges taken away. '''

Please follow the rules for chat.
 * 1) Do not ever talk back with such mean tone, and never insult in chat to an administrator or chat moderator. There will be one warning, the second will be a ban of two hours (depending on the severity of the offense). If it gets too much, then it will be a ban for 3 days normally, but if major, then a week.
 * 2) No harassment, spam, and stretch.
 * 3) No racism/religious slurs. It isn't funny, and if you do it, you are in big trouble.
 * 4) No sex talk and/or homophobic replies.
 * 5) Don't make fun of other people.
 * 6) Do not add links that may lead to inappropiate content or inappropiate websites, such as pornographic websites or strong gore/horror images.
 * 7) NO ROLE-PLAYING. 1st offense is a warning, 2nd is kick, 3rd is ban for 2 hours or day, depending of the severity of the role-playing situation in chat.
 * 8) DO NOT encourage an user to commit a crime or even suicide. Doing so, will result in a kick, however, continuing to do so, will result in a 1 month ban....(See section "Offenses")
 * 9) RESPECT IS EVERYTHING! Respect people's fandoms, opinions, likes, dislikes and etc. even if you find hard to accept it. If you are a MLP hater for example, try to respect the brony/pegasister users and maybe even talk to them, if you find it impossible, ignore them or simply leave.
 * 10) TROLLING IS BAD, AND YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD! Do NOT troll users, if you are being trolled, report to an admin, specially if you are being trolled in a PM . The troll will be kicked as a warning. If he insists, it will be a three week ban.

Bans
If you disagree with your ban, talk or email to an admin or a mod, and tell him/her what you have done and promise that you won't do it anymore. The admin will reply, obviously being respectful, and will unban you if your case it's not too serious. If you break your promise however, you will be banned again, but the ban will obviously last longer...

Language speaking at chat
IF YOU ARE from a country that does not speak english, YOU CAN speak your original language on the chat until an admin demands to STOP. If you continue, you'll be kicked and if you still continue after the kick, you'll receive a 1 day ban. If you haven't learned english yet, DON'T go to the chat, you'll probaly be confused and DON'T force people to speak your language, even if they know how to...

LANGUAGES ALLOWED AT CHAT:
|*If there are mods that speak one or more langauges mentioned above in chat, you may do so.|
 * English
 * Spanish
 * Portuguese
 * UK (English)

Offenses
Stretch*: 2 warnings, 1 kick, then ban for 1 or 2 days, depending of the minor severity. 1 warning, 1 kick, then ban for 3 days or 1 week, depending on the MAJOR SEVERITY.


 * A stretch is where a large sentence is long that stretches the screen, but not in a "stretching resolution screen". 2 short pharagraphs is okay, for example:

 EXAMPLE OF A 2 SHORT PHARAGRAPH: 

"IF YOU ARE from a country that does not speak english, YOU CAN speak your original language on the chat until an admin demands to STOP. If you continue, you'll be kicked and then recieve a ban."

Racism/religious slurs: 1 kick, then ban for 1 month if minor, or 2 months if major.

''' Encouraging other people to do horrible things in life IS AN INFINITE BAN, IT IS NOT FUNNY TO JUDGE PEOPLE TO "COMMIT SUICIDE". '''

Making fun of other people/Unrespectfulness: 1 warning, 1 kick, and then 3 weeks of ban. If major/worse, offenses to MLP culture (bronies/pegasisters), other real life culture, person's attitude, etc., then 2 MONTH BAN.

Role-Playing at main chat: 3 warnings, 2 kicks, then ban for 1 or 3 days depending ON THE MINOR RP. 1 warning, 1 kick, then ban for 1, 2 or 3 weeks, depening ON THE MAJOR RP.

Important thing to know.. Offenses can lead to kicks and bans, too. We hate bans, and we want you to have the free privilege to chat. Updates may come to the offenses listed above, to determine what can lead to the consequences.

About links...
If your link leads to an image that contains horror or gore, or humour that may be minorly disturbing to a user, please always ask a chat mod or admin to let you have permission to do so. '''Show the link to a chat mod or admin ONLY in Private (leave a PM a chat mod or admin for permission to add a link that leads to minor disturbing content). '''If you add such link that leads to an inappropiate site or with very immature and disturbing content, you will recieve a long-time ban, depending on the severity.

Mods have a life...
Sometimes, you'll probaly see the chat with a few mods or maybe even NONE, that is because the mods will be away, because they also have other stuff to do in their life, not just watch the chat...if you break one of the rules while the mods are away, you can be sure that an user who saw that will come and report.

Make sure you had read this carefully. Have a nice day or night at chat!
