Rules and responsibilities that apply to both editors/staff to follow.
We want to give our editors as much leeway as they deserve. We will make an attempt to give warnings where we see suitable for a user to improve and not make the same mistake twice. In some instances, warning will not be granted.
Note: Staff at their discretion may choose to lower or increase the severity of a punishment.
Editing
- To prevent drama and uncertainty around editing we have a Editing Tips & Guidelines page that we strongly recommend to editors and staff.
- To keep our site as authentic as possible, we are seeking fact over opinion. If you state "The batman skin is the best skin in the game" it becomes an opinion. Fact and opinion also play a role in fiction vs non fiction. We don't want theories about a page, we want facts.
- If you collect information from external websites, don't plagiarize others written words. Please refrain from doing so and atleast if you do use an external websites sources, either link it or rewrite that information into your own words.

Achievements
No badge grinding
- For example: You edit a page just to add a period to the end of the sentence. But then you edit the same page or another page again only to capitalize 1 letter. It could be that you're looking out for grammar truthfully.. If you're going to edit pages, take the time to edit it thoroughly and look for all mistakes or improvements.
- For example: Removing content. Saving. Then adding the same or similar content again.
