MediaWiki:Forum-policies-and-faq

Welcome to the forums! We're glad you've decided to join the conversation! Before you start talkin' up a storm, though, please take note of a few things.

People from all around the world read and edit the forums. Like any other collaborative project, not everyone will agree all the time. Keep discussions civil and be open minded about differing opinions. We're all here because we love the same topic.

So don't say nasty things about other people — only comment on the substance of their ideas. If you choose to disregard this warning, you will most definitely, most swiftly, and most infinitely be blocked.

Be aware, too, that these forums are governed by slightly different rules than those which apply to other talk spaces, mainly due to differences in the nature of the software involved.

You may edit your previous posts so long as: Tardis admin may move your thread or post for the purposes of archiving a closed discussion, or if you appear to have posted in the wrong Board. They may delete your thread or post if they believe:
 * No one has already quoted your comments. It's not fair to make a later poster look like they're misquoted you.
 * You are not changing your basic position. Don't agree to a certain position then edit your post such that it appears you now disagree with that position.  If you want to change your mind, you must do so in a wholly new post.
 * you have posted off topic
 * you have introduced unhelpful language in a technical thread
 * you have created a secondary discussion point about the same or similar topic being discussed in another thread
 * your post is materially wrong in a technical thread, and could therefore lead to confusion about how to use the MediaWiki software or any services provided by Wikia, Inc.
 * your post or thread attacks another user or offends other, reasonably-applicable policies
