Site Rules

= Editing/Creating Pages =
 * Do NOT vandalize pages! This includes blanking pages, inserting nonsense/gibberish, and making unauthorized edits (changes other than formatting (MediaWiki syntax), spelling, or grammar without the page creator’s permission).
 * NO spam or troll pages! Prompts must be in the correct category and also be something that can be used to write good stories. Stories must also have the correct prompt type and follow the prompt exactly as the prompt should be followed.
 * As this is a site meant for all ages as well as people from all cultural/ethnic backgrounds, the following content is prohibited:
 * Swear words or slurs (including "mild" ones such as the c-word that rhymes with "Tap" or the h-word that rhymes with "bell").
 * Graphic violence.
 * Sexual content (this will result in an instant permanent ban).
 * Links to malicious or adult websites (this will result in an instant permanent ban).
 * Insensitive content (content related to recent tragedies).
 * References to alcohol, drugs, or tobacco.
 * If you are posting content from another website, there must be a link to the EXACT webpage at the bottom of your prompt or your story.

= Discussion =


 * The rules for editing also apply to discussion/talk pages.
 * Do NOT harass the author or be rude to them in the discussion/talk page for a story!

= Consequences = If you break any of the above rules, you will get a warning message on your talk page from a moderator or admin. Further rule-breaking will result in a ban.

The consequences are as follows:
 * Warning
 * 48-Hour Ban
 * 14-Day Ban
 * 6-Month Ban
 * Permanent Ban

= Appealing = If you believe that a permanent ban was issued in error, you may appeal by PMing a staff member. However, whatever the staff decides is final, and you will not be able to appeal again. Please note that permanent bans for sockpuppetry/ban evasion or links to malicious/adult sites CANNOT be appealed.
