Alright. I've let this slip under the radar for long enough, but now it's beginning to affect the mood of the chat, and the attitude of the mods and users. The chat, and the behavior of the mods AND users is out of control. I've been made aware of a few issues I'm going to address, and I'm only going to say this once.

- Nsfw comments and posts in main

I get most of you are teenagers, as am I, and teenagers like to joke around sexually, making little jokes here and there, but there needs to be a limit. It's being pushed so far to the point where it's making other users uncomfortable or jealous. There are a few select people who have an issue with pushing it too far, and it's getting a lot of complaints. So, what the new rule on NSFW is, only one or two jokes at a time, and if a user begins to show signs of being uncomfortable, or they directly or indirectly tell you to stop, you stop. No if, ands or buts. If a mod tells you to stop, you need to do the same, even if you are a mod and another mod tells you. If this wiki is ever gonna stay alive and continue to be friendly, we need to work together and respect everyone. If you are told to drop a sexual chain and you do not, it will be a three day ban after a kick, no exceptions.

- Respecting the mods

So, I've personally seen this happen, but users just simply don't respect the mods, and don't stop when they are told to stop. This is a HUGE no-no. Mods are here to make the chat and wiki friendly and safe for everyone. A mod is not going to tell you to stop something because they just want to. If a mod tells you to stop doing something, you need to stop. Snarky or smart-alack come backs are not acceptable. You need to say, "Okay." and drop it. Mods will start being harsher and banning for this. Do not argue with mods if they tell you to stop, and do not try to find a way around what the mod has directly told you to not do. If you disrespect a mod, it will be a week long ban after a kick.

- Smack talking the wiki in main

Okay. This is an issue with a few select users, as they think it is okay to "vent" about the wiki and it's staff in main. I don't care how much you hate this wiki. Do not complain and insult it in main. If you really hate it that much, then just pack up and leave. There aren't going to be anymore slides after this. It will be an automatic three day ban if you are insulting the wiki and or it's staff in main.

- Minimodding

This is another issue that has been VERY frequent. Sometimes there isn't a mod on chat, and that's understandable. But you shouldn't take it into your own hands to boss other users around, when you are on the same level as them. If a mod is not on chat, and someone is breaking the rules, you can screenshot it and show it to a mod once they get on, and the mod can and should handle it. It is not your job to patrol the chat and tell users what they can and can't do. This includes in PM and main. If a mod catches you minimodding, it will be a kick, then a three day ban if you continue.

These issues need to stop. It is giving our wiki a horrible name. And to the mods, if you see these things happening, and they aren't stopped or addressed, you will be punished in some way, probably a ban of sorts. If you are causing the issues, and I find out about it, you may just be demoted.

This is not a thread to be attacking anyone in particular, this is just to help us make the wiki a happier place for everyone. If you took the time to read this, I thank you, and have a nice rest of the day/night. :)
