:'''''These "rules" have not yet been approved. Discussion of the policies is occurring on [[RollerCoaster Tycoon Wiki talk:Policy|this page]].'''''
 
These are rules that all users, both registered and unregistered, must follow in order to be allowed to contribute to the Wiki. Administrators are responsible for handling rule breakages and handling users that break rules, through use of warnings, blocks, or bans.
 
The following policies may be discussed, and changed by a vote, on the [[RollerCoaster Tycoon Wiki talk:Policy|discussion page]].
 
==General Rules==
Line 28:
Editors are expected to remain civil at all times, and to avoid "shouting", threats, or hostility towards others. Administrators may issue warnings or enforce a "cool-down" period by giving users temporary blocks (anywhere between 1 hour and 1 day) if an editor or editors are becoming hostile. Continued hostility may result in more lengthy blocks or bans.
==Penalties==
As a rule, [[RollerCoaster Tycoon Wiki:Administrators|Administrators/Sysops]], as well as WikiaMiraheze staff, helpers, and some others, are allowed to address unacceptable behavior and policy violations. Administrators have a handful of tools at their disposal.
===Warnings===
Administrators may issue warnings to users that violate policies. These warnings should be placed on a user's talk page, and may not be removed by the user unless an Administrator says differently. Removal of a warning may result in additional warning or temporary blocks.
===Blocks===
When warnings are not sufficient to stem negative behavior, or as an automatic response to certain policy violations, Administrators, WikiaMiraheze Staff and others, may issue blocks to users. These blocks should not be overused, and should be kept reasonable as to the offense(s).
===Bans===
In extreme cases, the Administrators, including WikiaMiraheze Staff and others, reserve the ability to issue permanent or indefinite blocks to users who severely or repeatedly violate these policies or WikiaMiraheze general policies. The use of a ban should be used as a last resort, after other avenues have been exhausted.
