Kingdom Hearts Fanon Wiki:Vandalism Policy

Policy
This purpose of this page is to outline for all visitors and users this Wiki's policy on vandalism.

Let it be made clear right now: there will be absolutely zero tolerance for vandalism of any kind. If one of the admins discovers an instance of vandalism, it will be reverted at once, and the user responsible will be banned for an undetermined amount of time.

The current Administrators are MechaUltimaZero, Troisnyxetienne, and Xiggie. They will determine what does and does not constitute vandalism. They will also determine the vandal's punishment in joint conference. However, be aware that MechaUltimaZero has the final say in all instances.

The main factors in determining punishment for vandalism are as follows:


 * 1) Number of offenses
 * 2) Severity of offenses. This is to be determined by the Administrators.

Punishment
Punishment will be a temporary ban, or in severe cases, a permanent ban.

This wiki works on a three-strike basis.

Strike one: the vandal is banned for a week.

Strike two: the vandal is blocked for six months. After two months, the offender will be given a choice to go on parole--they will be allowed to edit the mainspace and talk pages, but if they are caught vandalising while on parole, they will be immediately banned from editing permanently. In addition, their user pages and talk pages will be deleted.

Strike three: the vandal will be banned permanently, with no chance of parole. However, their user pages and talk pages will be left alone.

In addition, if the administrators unanimously find an instance of vandalism to be particularly severe, then the vandal in question will be immediately and irreversibly blocked, with zero chance of parole or appeal. Furthermore, it will be treated as if they had vandalised while on parole, meaning that their user pages and talk pages will be deleted.

As previously said, there will be zero tolerance for any type of vandalism.

Process of Appeal
The Process of Appeal is as outlined below, and is followed through with in a series of steps.


 * 1) The accused vandal may protest his/her block by leaving a message on the "blocking" administrator's talk page. This message should explain why the edit in dispute is not vandalism.
 * 2) The administrator will discuss it with the other administrators, and also with the accused vandal.
 * 3) If it is decided that the accused is indeed innocent (such as the account having been hacked, or simply a mistake on the part of the accused), then the block will be removed and a formal apology issued.
 * 4) If it is decided that the accused is indeed guilty of vandalism, then the vandal will be notified of the decision, and the block will continue.
