Screamer Wiki:Rules

REMEMBER: Always follow the rules. If you violate any of these rules, you will get a warning. If you repeat two more times, you will be banned from the wiki. If you vandalize the wiki, you will be banned without any warning.

Creating and editing pages

 * 1) Avoid using scary images, NSFW/NSFL images, videos, or clickable links that lead directly to the screamer website. Instead, use non-clickable links, or links that can't be clicked on. For example, ScaryScreamer.com.
 * 2) Use either the forum, discussions, the chat, or your user blog to communicate with other users. Do not create pages that are out of subject, or you will get a warning.
 * 3) Use correct grammar and spelling, write in American English. If this rule is violated, your account won't get banned. For other wiki languages, visit the Languages page.
 * 4) The page name must always be the name of the screamer, without www. or http:// . For example, ScaryScreamer.com, and not  http://www.ScaryScreamer.com . The name's capitalization may be changed to title case if necessary.
 * 5) Do not delete, blank or replace the content of a page. If you want to delete a page, just add  but keep the page intact.
 * 6) Pages may be deleted if they are very small stub; for example, a page with just a link and "[Screamer name] is a screamer." If you must create a page like this, create it under "Screamer_Wiki:Draft:[Page Name]"
