Editing

 * Please do not vandalize pages! This includes unauthorized edits, blanking, and inserting garbage.
 * Pages that violate any of the Philosiverse's laws will be deleted and may result in a ban.
 * Plagiarism and/or the posting of copyrighted content will result in an instant permanent ban.
 * Do not post spam. This includes low-content pages, nonsense/gibberish, and posting external links without a good reason for doing so (e.g. citing sources or linking to The Philosophits fan works).
 * Please do not post offensive and/or objectionable content (this is also illegal in Philosica, a major country in the Philosiverse). This includes:
 * Swear words or racial slurs.
 * Hate speech/symbols towards any religion or ethnic group.
 * Content glorifying a religion (content relating to religion in the Philosiverse is fine).
 * Sexual content or sexually suggestive content, including the promotion of drugs or products relating to sex. Sexual content involving minors will result in an instant permanent ban.
 * Links to illegal and/or inappropriate websites, including adult sites and torrenting sites.
 * Content that promotes illegal drugs, prescription medication, alcohol, or tobacco.

 * Content related to the abuse of minors or animals.
 * Graphic/violent content, such as gore and shock images.
 * Content advertising firearms or other kinds of weapons.
 * Content related to recent tragedies.

Bans
If you break the rules, a moderator/admin will leave a message on your talk page linking to this page and reminding you to not break any more rules. Further rule-breaking will result in being blocked from the Philosiverse Wiki. If you are blocked, a moderator/admin will leave a message on your talk page explaining why you were blocked, how long you will be blocked for, and how to appeal the block if you think that it was imposed in error. The consequences for breaking the rules are as follows: If you make another account to evade a ban, your ban will automatically become permanent, your IP address will also be blocked, and you will not be able to appeal.
 * Warning/Message on talk page.
 * 14-day ban.
 * 1-month ban.
 * 6-month ban.
 * Permanent ban.

Appealing
If you believe that a ban was issued in error, you may appeal the ban by putting the "Ban Appeal" template on your talk page (if talk page access is blocked, this means you are not able to appeal). However, whatever the staff decides is final, and you will not be able to appeal again. Bans for ban evasion or plagiarism cannot be appealed.
