  • Use English when contributing - all users are required to use English when contributing or post a comment, so that it can be easier to read by other users. However, if English is not your first language, we suggest you to try using online translating facilities like Google Translate, etc.
  • Use proper grammar - please type with a proper and decent English grammar, spelling, capitalization and punctuation. This will be easier for anyone to read and understand. A few typos caused by accident are not a big deal, and can be corrected.

  • Do not post gibberish sentences that other users can't understand - this will result in an instant ban.

  • Use English when commenting
  • No immaturity - we can't stand immature people in this wiki. Immaturity in this wiki could lead you to a temporary ban and if persisted, you will be banned.
  • No comment war - small debate is fine, but please do not make debate that could lead to uncontrollable comment war. Comment war could lead you to a temporary ban.

Other rules

  • Do not edit users profile and talkpage without permission - this is very prohibited and can result in a ban.
  • Do not edit any category pages without permission from the admin - editing any category pages without permission from the admin can result in a ban.
  • Do not be a backseat admin - this creates confusion, and can result in a warning.
  • Do not ask to be an admin - this is not acceptable especially when demanding too much, and can result in a warning.
  • Do not create a "sockpuppet account" to bypass a ban - the discipline by the management team is important and everyone should be followed. If you think the ban is not reasonable, you can leave a message on your own talk page.
