# 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'''. | |||
# Use either the [https://forum.screamer.wiki 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. | |||
# Use [https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/grammar correct grammar] and spelling, write in American English. ''If this rule is violated, your account won't get banned.'' | |||
# The page name must always be the '''name of the screamer''', without '''www.''' or '''http:// '''. For example, ''ScaryScreamer.com'', and '''not''' ''<nowiki>http://www.ScaryScreamer.com</nowiki>''. The name's capitalization [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalization_in_English#When_to_capitalize may be changed to title case] if necessary. | |||
# Do not brigade or plan a brigade to this wiki or user. Doing so will result in an immediate ban. | |||
# Do not delete, blank or replace the content of a page. If you want to delete a page, just add <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> but keep the page intact. | |||
