Death Battle Wiki Rules & Guidelines

General Rules
1. No spamming. Pretty self-explanatory.


 * Spamming pictures/repetitive comments will lead to a warning the first time, a 1-5 day ban the second depending on what's being spammed/how often, a two week-one month ban the third time and a permanent ban the fourth time


 * Spamming links to external sites: Permanent ban the first time

2. Be respectful as you can. Don't be rude or spiteful. This should be pretty self-explanatory too. Don't call people idiots because you think they're wrong in a VS debate/analysis (ex: VS Battles Wiki), don't antagonize others, don't call a series trash (if you have genuine reasons for disliking it and are respectful, you may post, but if someone asks you to stop, please do), and the list goes on. You probably get the idea.


 * Minor aggressions will lead to a warning, then 1-5 day ban, then two week ban then a permanent one


 * Larger aggressions will start off with a warning + a 3-7 day ban, then a month, then a permanent one

3. Don't create pages for Death Battles/combatants that haven't happened yet, even if they are confirmed to come at some point


 * First time will lead to a warning, second will a three-day ban, third is two weeks, fourth is permanent

4. You're allowed to go off-topic in comment threads, but don't do it to the point that nothing related to the show is happening.


 * Adding to this, we ask that shitposting is kept down for the most part. Occasionally it's fine, but we don't want to see it every other comment.


 * Warnings the first time. 1-3 day ban the second, 1-2 week ban the third, 1-2 month the fourth, permanent the fifth

5. In terms of sexual content, you can make jokes with sexual humor and the like, but things like actual pornography or rape are strictly prohibited.


 * You will be permanently banned the first time you break this rule

6. Sockpuppeting is grounds for a permanent ban the first offense

Guidelines
1. We ask that you don't spoil the outcome of fights, the characters of the next episode, etc. until the fight is released on YouTube. Likewise however, be careful to scroll at your own risk if you haven't seen the episode.


 * Spoiler template: {HideSpoilers|Text=(insert text here)} with another pair of "{}"s at the start and end.

2. If you want to add a category to the wiki, make a thread to discuss it first and wait for the responses before making it, particularly an admin's approval. This is to avoid making unnecessary ones.

3. This wiki is not affiliated with Screwattack at all. So if you're hoping to talk to someone from it, this isn't the place to try.

4. If other users are breaking any rules, you may intervene yourself, but we need you to notify an admin of the incident as well.


 * Understand however, that admins also have their own personal lives to attend to, and can't be on this wiki 24/7 to help. So please don't give us backlash if we don't come to take action for a while.

5. Don't add in pointless trivia to pages. Certain things like "this is the # fight where the combatants are rivals" can be left to categories. Something like "(character) shares his/her (DB voice actor) with (character)" is fine though.
