Warning and Ban Policy

'''This page details the Guidelines for Warning Procedures and Ban lengths. No Wiki User is exempt from the Rules, including the Original Founder, Wiki Adopter and Bureaucrats.

For Information on how to Ban Users, Read This. For more Information on how to place Templates on User's Message Walls, Read This.'''

Warnings
All rules violators are entitled to an official warning before a Ban from the Wiki. I have created the following premade templates which are to be placed on the offending User's Message Wall depending on the violation.


 * Template:Warning Illegal Articles
 * Template:Warning Incivility
 * Template:Warning Pointsgaming

Vandals are not entitled to any warnings and are to be banned on the spot.

Banning
All rules violators who continue their behavior after an official warning will be banned from editing on the Wiki for a certain amount of time. I have created the following premade templates which are to be placed on the offending User's Message Wall depending on the violation.

Upon posting the Ban notification, the Message Wall Thread should be closed.
 * Template:Ban Illegal Articles
 * Template:Ban Incivility
 * Template:Ban Pointsgaming
 * Template:Ban Vandalism

Vandalism - 1 Month Ban

 * Note that the offending user must have vandalized several articles in a short frame of time. Vandals can be identified by checking the Wiki Activity and monitoring the Contributions of Users suspected to be one.
 * Some users are going to make mistakes or messy edits which should in no way be recognized as vandalism. They are to be given a kindly reminder on their message walls to familiarize themselves with the Wiki Policy.

Incivility - 7 Day Ban

 * Any kind of brazen and disruptive behavior towards other users obviously not part of friendly banter is to be met with a week long Ban. We can't afford to have the same infighting that has torn apart the communities of so many other Wikis.
 * Racism as outlined in the Wiki Rules is covered under Incivility.

Pointsgaming - 7 Day Ban

 * Pointsgaming (or repeatedly editing an article to purposefully increase personal edit count and achievement points) damages the incentives for other Users to also achieve the same milestones and adds question to the legitimacy of the achievements leaderboard.

Illegal Articles - 7 Day Ban

 * Any newly created Articles that clearly do not belong on the Radiation Wiki should be swiftly deleted and the offending user warned on their message wall and encouraged to familiarize themselves with the Wiki Rules. Repeated illegal page creation is to be met with a 7 Day Ban.
 * Note that this does not include a User's Profile Page which all Users are allowed to customize in any way they wish as per the Wikia Terms of Use.
