Line 12:
== What '''is not''' grounds for any kind of ban ==
Some behavior that qualifies for a temporary or permanent block on other wikis is acceptable here. This includes:
* [[All The Tropes:Policy for Wiki Staff|Disagreeing with a mod.]]
* Making an honest mistake.
Line 56:
* Repeatedly ignoring a mod. (Disagreeing with a mod is okay; ignoring the mods altogether isn't. We want to talk ''with'' you, not ''to'' you.)
* Refusing to learn from honest mistakes, or repeatedly making the same honest mistake after it's been pointed out.
* Removing ''without explanation'' text that was previously presented as opinion, on a page where opinions are acceptable. All Darth Wiki, Headscratchers, Sugar Wiki, WMG and YMMV subpages count as pages where opinions are acceptable.<ref>Note that when you edit a YMMV page a banner is displayed that explicitly instructs you not to remove content. ''This banner is your warning.''</ref>
* Removing ''without explanation'' tropes on a work page or works on a trope page.
* [[All The Tropes:Strong Language Usage Rules|Adding strong language to a page that shouldn't have it, or removing strong language from a page that should have it.]] Work pages for works that would be rated G if they were films released in the USA definitely fall under the "shouldn't have it" heading. Work pages for works that would be rated NC-17 if they were films released in the USA definitely don't.
Line 64:
* Repeatedly uploading files without choosing Licensing for them, as mentioned on [[All The Tropes:Uploading and Adding an Image to a Page]].
* Adding incorrect text and presenting it as fact.
* Repeating edits that had been reversed or reversing edits that had been made by a moderator for technical reasons, also called "edit warring".
We're using the mathematician's minimum definition for "repeatedly": Tropers get two chances before being tempbanned for this type of behavior.
