User pages

    • It is exceptional to add relevant user boxes if the user wants to.
  • All user pages must be protected prior to the user's rights.
    • This means if the user is not an admin, the setting of protection of his or her user page must be semi-protected and open to autoconfirmed (registered) users.
      • But that doesn't mean an autoconfirmed user get to edit user pages of other autoconfirmed users.
    • And admins have their user pages protected so that only admins are open to edit the pages.
    • But the setting to move a user page is always restricted to admins.

User talk pages

  • Do not post porn links or porn.
  • Users that are not administrators are allowed to warn users.

  • In some minor crimes, please warn the user before blocking him or her.
  • Unless if the user is causing trouble with talk pages or with email, please let the user edit talk pages and send email. If a user asks for forgiveness and means it, we can shorten the block or unblock the user.
  • Apart for what gives permanent blocks above, permanent blocks can also result if usually nuisance disturbances or minor policy violations happens uncontrollably obsessively.
  • Most importantly, DO NOT BLOCK USERS THAT HASN'T VIOLATED ANY POLICIES ABOVE. IT IS CONSIDER ABUSE OF RIGHTS AND YOU WILL BE INSTANTLY DEMOTED.
