Wiki Moderators
Wiki Moderators are members of the community with added tools to help the community. They work closely with Administrators to fight against vandalism, spamming and trolls.
Wiki Moderators are given the following tools:
- Block other users from editing
- Rollback spam and vandalism
- Edit and Delete Comments
- Delete unnecessary images
- Delete and undelete content pages
- Move files
Wiki Moderators User Conduct
In addition to page edits made as Wiki members, Wiki Moderators will:
- Delete inappropriate images. These include vulgar, pornographic, racist, or offensive images or images that are unused for an extended period of time.
- Remove any unambiguous spam or vandalism to content pages. Spam may include any comment added that does not pertain to the page content (such as "random comment", "first comment", etc.)
- Remove or edit vulgar, abusive or derogatory comments.
- Remove or edit Game Center requests that violate policy limiting multiple entries on Friends page or any entry on content pages.
- Edit comments containing excessive punctuation, capitalization or emoticons. Users are expected to limit usage of "all caps", punctuation or emoticons to no more than 2-3 occurrences in a comment.
- Delete comments clearly placed on the wrong page (i.e., discussion of obtaining a Topaz dragon on the Rainbow dragon page when there is no connection made between the two).
- Remove user names and formatted signatures from comments.
- Remove comments that are considered spam under Wiki policy (i.e., excessive repetition or have no relation to the page topic).
- Consult with administrators to determine if comment trails have become excessively argumentative or spam-filled. Actions taken when such determination is made will include adding a comment indicating that the thread must end and that subsequent comments will be deleted or, in certain circumstances, deleting all comments in the thread.
- Make every effort to notify users of comments that are changed, either by adding edit notes within the comment or leaving a message for registered users on the user wall.
- Block users who blatantly and voluntarily spam or troll the Wiki.
- Wiki Moderators need to show maturity. This includes quality edits, courtesy, and refraining from heavily roleplaying (like wiki "marriage", indulging in "violent acts" toward another user, etc ...)
- Wiki Moderators are expected to show good behavior both here and on other Wikis. As their conduct will be associated with this wiki, a block or ban on another Wiki as much as here could lead to demotion without further notice.
