Trollpasta Wiki:The Rules

User Conduct

1. Do not abuse, harass, threaten, impersonate or intimidate other users.
2. Do not post or transmit any content that is obscene, abusive, pornographic, profane, or otherwise violates any law or right of any third party, or content that contains LGBT-phobia, ethnic slurs, religious intolerance, or encourages criminal conduct.
3. NSFW stuff is allowed on the site, but is only limited to written material, not visual, audio, or video. The written NSFW content must also not go over the top. That means no highly sexually explicit pastas. We've had issues in the past with stories that describe characters having sex in detail, and that being the only 'joke'. Here are two stories that show you what the limit should be when it comes to writing NSFW Trollpastas: The Tale of Shrek, Robotnik2.exe. Using rape as a plot device, punchline, joke, etc. is strongly discouraged.
4. Do not attempt to impersonate another user or person.
5. Do not post any illegal or unauthorized content or use for any illegal or unauthorized purposes.
6. Do not post, upload, transmit, share, or store unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, solicitations, "spam", or any other type of unauthorized solicitation.
7. Do not solicit personal information from any user.
8. Do not violate any laws (including but not limited to copyright laws and laws regarding online conduct and acceptable content).
9. Do not post advertisements or solicitations of business.
10. Only use the services in a manner consistent with these Terms of Use and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
11. Do not upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any material that contains software viruses or any other computer code, files or programs designed to interrupt, destroy, limit the functionality of, or enable unauthorized access to any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment.
12. Do not forge headers, or manipulate source identifiers or otherwise attempt to disguise the origin of any content made available via the Service.
13. Do not access, collect or store personal data about other users in connection with the prohibited conduct and activities described in this “User Conduct” section.

General Rules

1. As an editor, you should make helpful, worthwhile edits to pages. You should try to help users find their way, fix up stories that need it, and when possible assist the admin in locating pages that either need not be on here or have been vandalized.
2. Do not make any number of pointless edits to to inflate your edit count. This includes, but is not limited to, adding one category per edit, changing a few words over many edits, or making one edit to add a picture, one edit to change a few words, then another edit to add a category.
3. We already have like a zillion categories, so don't go around creating new categories. If you think a new category should be added, take it up with an admin.
4. No vandalism. Period.
5. Do not harass, intimidate, threaten, or express an interest in harming other users in any way/shape/form anywhere on this site. This is a community, and if you cannot coexist with the other users in it then this is not the place for you to be.
6. Plagiarism will not be tolerated here. Period. If you need to pass off other peoples' works as your own, you do not need to join this community, because we do not need people like that here.
7. Please be mindful that our editors are of all ages, nationalities, and races. With this in mind, please do not message people offensive and/or sexual material. Highly sexually explicit and/or purposely offensive material is unwelcome on the site, no matter how funny you may find it to be.
8. Do not post screamer links, images, or videos.
9. Some of the content of this site may not be suitable for viewers of all ages. As the content here is not suitable for all ages, it is required that users who sign up for accounts and intend to edit on this wiki be THIRTEEN (13) years of age or older. Viewer discretion is advised.
10. EVIL PATRIXXX cannot die. Anyone who submits a story in which PATRIXXX dies will die horribly at the hands of EVIL PATRIXXX. It's just one of the established rules of the Trollpasta universe.
