View source for NBA 2K Wiki:Guidelines

The wiki has a set of '''general policies''' that should generally be followed all around the NBA 2K Wiki

If any time you see a member of the wiki violate any of these guidelines, please contact a [[NBA 2K Wiki:Admins|NBA 2K Wiki admin]].
==General policies==
===Behavior policies===
#Cyber-bullying is far from allowed. This includes being rude, putting down others, discriminating because of race, gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, etc., intimidating others, harassing, threatening, or calling others inappropriate names.
#Deliberately angering someone due to differing interests is known as ''trolling ''and this will not be accepted. For example, purposely trashing a group of people because they like a show that you don't like is considered trolling.
#Please be as respectful and considerate as possible when expressing your feelings.
#Do not pose as anyone such as impersonating a FANDOM Staff, a celebrity,  another user, etc.
#When a bullying problem, argument, or any type of wiki violation occurs, if needed respond in the civil way by telling an admin. Do not retaliate in a negative way or violate other rules.
#Do not bring up any topics, ask any questions, etc. that may be uncomfortable, disturbing, or highly controversial for other users.

===Using the wiki===
#Do not remove information unless you know it is false. Removing content for no valid reason is unacceptable. Please add an edit summary for all major content removal.
#Do not add any inappropriate material (including offensive, sexual, and explicit material) to pages.
#All pages and page edits must be relevant to NBA 2K as well as deliver factual information. Do not make a page or add information that includes false information, centers around one's opinion, or is irrelevant.
#Do not give out any personal information anywhere on the wiki. This especially includes your full name, your phone number, and your address.
#Any form of profanity, vulgar language, sexual terminology, or offensive/inappropriate terms is not allowed and will not be tolerated.
#Do not spam anywhere on the wiki. Spamming is posting/commenting the same thing over and over again, usually more than three times.
#User pages are only to be edited by the user unless special circumstances, such as vandalism, arise. In that case, please get the user's permission before editing the profile.
#Explicit, sexual, disturbing, offensive, or inappropriate content is not allowed.
#Do not remove templates from pages unless they are falsely added and please refrain from drastically changing templates unless it is necessary.
#Do not post any links or videos to full episodes before the episode has aired in all of the United States (HST).
#Due to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act and laws about child internet safety, Wikia says that you must be 13 or over to have an account. Please be aware that if you are caught under 13 by Wikia, you will be globally blocked.
#Warning templates, blocking templates, and banned from chat templates are only to be used by NBA 2K Wiki staff.
#Unnecessary editing is classified as making edits that make no contribution to the page whatsoever, often only done to gain edits, badges, and/or points. This is not allowed. These edits include:
##Rewording sentences for no reason
##Taking periods off pages and putting them back on
##Adding extra punctuations
##Taking off information then putting it back on
##Adding the same information in different ways
#All accounts controlled by the same person will be treated all as one person. If one account is blocked, all accounts will be blocked. In addition to this, if a user makes multiple accounts only to disrupt and violate the wiki rules, all accounts will be blocked for a longer amount of time. All users with multiple accounts must have "this" template on all of their user pages.

===Misc.===
#All sets of policies must be followed and are expected to be followed.
#Not having read these policies is not a valid excuse.
#Have fun on the wiki!
