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, user talk pages, or user subpages 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.
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 brigade or plan a brigade to this wiki or user. Doing so will result in an immediate ban.
6. Do not delete, blank or replace the content of a page. If you want to delete a page, just add {{delete}} but keep the page intact.

Minimum Age

• Due to COPPA, you must be at least 13 years old to post personal information.
  • You can still create an account under 13, just make sure to not post anything personal.

Renaming yourself

• To rename your account, just ask an Admin. They will rename you via Special:RenameUser

Deleting Your Account

Accounts can never be fully deleted, like on Wikipedia. The most you can do is ask an Admin for your account to be vanished.
