Board Thread:Staff Discussion/@comment-27150398-20180410152856

I just wanted to inform the staff team of a couple of new rules that I've added to the Staff Rules and Guidelines.

6. When you first log on to the wiki it is highly recommended that you check through Wiki Activity along with the contributions of all new users (If you do not know where to find the new users' profiles, you can find a list of them on this wiki's Community page) and send out any relevant Warnings/Cease and Desists to said users depending on the nature of their offence and whether or not it concerns your postion or report them on the Rule Violation Report, as this will allow any trolls or sockpuppets to be dealt with more quickly and will also allow any malicious edits they may make to be reverted more easily. This check doesn't have to be extremely through and shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes at the most.
 * Said guideline doesn't apply to Chat Mods.

As already stated, this guideline has been put in place to ensure that any incidents of vandalism along with any trolls or sockpuppets can be dealt with more quickly and easily before any serious damage can be inflicted to any of this wiki's pages or users by said trolls or sockpuppets. Like I've said previously this check doesn't have to really through and shouldn't take any more than 10-15 minutes at the most.

7. Try to refrain from deleting a page unless it is extremely disorganised (ex. It has no headers and the research is very sloppy) or is a troll page (ex. Penis). If a page is slightly disorganised (ex. Boomstick's text isn't in bold and it doesn't have a proper Interlude) send the author a message about their page and give them tips on how to improve it and if they haven't improved it 2 weeks after you have sent them said message then the page can be deleted.
 * This doesn't apply to OC pages that have a Mary Sue Limits Score of 40 or more, any pages with said score can just be deleted since they violate Rule 18.
 * Said rule only applies to Content Mods and Admins.

After talking about this with the other Admins, I decided to add this guideline as I think it would be a good idea for the Admins/Content Mods to give new users tips on how to create an organised page if one or more of their pages are slightly disorganised, rather than just deleting the page and risking the chance of alienating said user. Once my exams have finished I am planning on completing the page formatting blog so that said rule can be enforced more easily and so that all users can be aware of how to structure their pages more appropriately, however could I ask you DON'T enforce any of the current info on said page, as I might want to update some of it once my exams are over. For now just use your own judgement to decide whether or not you think a page is slightly or extremely disorganised using the examples in the guideline to help you.

Feel to ask me any questions you may have about said rules down below.
