Cool Songs Wiki:List of policies

This is a list of policies that all users must follow if they want to be allowed to edit here.

(Note: for most offenses, you will receive 3 - 5 strikes - depending on the severity of the offense itself - before you are anvilled for varying amounts of time).

Rule #1: Plagiarism
If you copy-and-paste from other websites, make sure to be honest about it and add the Plagiarism template to the article, although it is not recommended.

Punishment: none

Rule #2: No Trolling
Trolling is purposely annoying people just to get a laugh. Anyone who does this excessively (even after being warned) may very well get anvilled.

Punishment: 3 strikes, 1-week anvil drop

Rule #3: Subject Matter
All articles on this wiki must involve songs. Any that don't will eventually be deleted.

Punishment: 4 strikes, 3-day anvil drop

Rule #4: No Vandalism
Vandalism is replacing article content with nonsense or gibberish, false information, and/or vulgar phrases. Simply put, don't do it.

Punishment: 2-week anvil drop

Rule #6: No Fan-Art Or Inappropriate Pics
All images must be screenshots taken yourself or pictures found on Google or some other. Please do not upload fan-made/inappropriate photos. Fan-art is only allowed for original songs.

Punishment: 3 strikes, 1 - 2 week anvil drop

Rule #7: No Cyberbullying
Cyberbullying is a completely unforgivable offense. If someone is cyberbullying you, contact an Employee and they will intervene. A punishment will then be decided based on what they think of the situation.

Rule #8: Opinions
Your opinion doesn't dominate over everyone else's. You are allowed to state your thoughts/beliefs (i.e. "I like ponies," "I hate Pretty Little Liars," etc.), but please don't force it on other users like some sort of westboro bigot (i.e. "Cars 2 is the worst freaking Pixar sequel EVER; your opinion doesn't matter," "Screw Secret-Teen" etc.).

Punishment: 5 strikes (length of anvil drop will vary depending on the severity of the offense)

Rule #9: No Sockpuppetry
Sockpuppeting or socking is creating multiple accounts to dodge a block.

Punishment: indefinite kickout on your sock, extension on your real account's anvil drop by a day or week

Rule #11: No Spamming
Spamming is purposely posting the same things over and over again. You are not allowed to do this unless you are posting "Best Wishes" templates on the walls of a bunch of different users to wish them a happy holiday (just don't do it multiple times to the same user).

Punishment: 3 strikes, 3-day kickout
