Board Thread:General Wiki Discussion/@comment-5486221-20190727041722

This week alone, we've had a bunch of people break the rules, so I'm making this thread to remind everyone about certain things.

Stealing Art
You can only use someone else's art if you ask them for permission and post proof of the artist allowing you to use their art. If they don't explicitly grant you permission, you can't use their art at all. Editing their art without permission also counts as stealing. The same goes for things like other people's characters.

Other People's Pages
You can only edit pages on the wiki that don't belong to you if you intend to do cleanup or fix grammar. Anything else requires permission from the creator of the page.

Grammar/Language
While on the subject of grammar, we're really trying to maintain some level of good grammar on all pages, so if you've been told/you think that your grammar could use some work, please read the Grammar Guide.

If English is not your first language and you're more comfortable using other languages, please move to one of the other BTFFs. You can find some of these wikis under the 'Other' tab on the navigation bar.

Sockpuppeting
One editor, one account.

One editor: You and you alone should use your account. Under no circumstances should you share your account with your siblings or friends. If your sibling or friend breaks one of the rules using your account, we will take appropriate action, regardless of who was using the account at the time of the offense.

One account: No exceptions. If you want to use a new account, inform the admins beforehand and we'll block your old account and leave your new account alone. Creating another account to evade a block will result in your main account being blocked for a longer period of time.

Conclusion
We direct you to the rules when giving you warnings for a reason. If you received a heads-up or warning and you haven't read them, please do so at your earliest convenience. If you're a new user, please also read the Ultimate Guide to a New User.

Thank you for reading this post. I hope this cleared things up. If you have any questions, go ahead and leave them below and I (and the other admins) will answer them to the best of my ability.
