The Amazing World of Gumball Wiki:Rules/Chat

General

 * Chat is a fun area where users can interact, share, and basically just chat. See Help:Chat for more information.
 * Cussing is allowed, but must not be overused or abused. Neither should it be used in an offensive manner.
 * Be aware that any user can screenshot your actions.
 * Users can discuss/say whatever they want, as long as it is not an argument or wiki threats.
 * Speak in a language that users can understand.
 * It is recommended to speak in English.
 * When a chat moderator, administrator, or the majority who are present asks you to stop doing something in chat, stop doing it.
 * Level of punishment will depend on the severity of the act, and the judgment of the chat moderator or administrator who addresses it.
 * Private messages are not monitored.
 * If a user is being abusive, click their avatar and select "Block Private Messages".
 * Do not bring private message issues to the main chat.
 * When users are away, don't force them to say something in chat.
 * They may be busy or doing something else.
 * Spamming chat gradually or suddenly because of boredom is disallowed and may result in being kicked or banned if necessary.

Please do not

 * Role play
 * Discuss role play that takes place in private messaging
 * Flame, harass, troll, or fight users
 * Spam (e.g., flooding the chat with nonsense)
 * Abuse private messaging (e.g., making multiple private messaging for no reason)
 * Advertise (e.g., other wikis)
 * Invade chat
 * This is when you bombard another chat with other users and cause a riot, or invite users to bombard us.
 * Backseat moderate
 * This means that you, as a user, should not act like you have a duty to enforce the rules.
 * Any user may inform the guilty of the rules.
 * If it fails, keep quiet, and report it to any of the chat moderators or administrators through private messaging or their message walls.
 * It should also be noted, that you mustn't tell a chat moderator/administrator what to do, as it is a serious offense, and borders on mini-modding.
 * Link results from search engines
 * It creates a long link and unnecessary stretch, causing the sidebar to appear
 * Post links to illegal downloads or streams of copyrighted material (e.g. full episodes of The Amazing World of Gumball)
 * This is not allowed in main chat or private messaging. Although, it is very slim for a user to get caught doing this in private messages. Be aware that any user may printscreen anything which takes place in private messaging as well.
 * Incite drama (e.g., grief slinging, inferiority complex)
 * Disrespect anyone, especially to the chat moderators and administrators
 * Be inactive for long periods of time (e.g., an entire day)
 * This does not apply to mods or admins as they have a duty to moderate chat
 * Ask or give out any personal information (e.g., your real name, where you live)
 * Use capital letters excessively
 * Spread false information about other users
 * Post phishing, malicious, or keylogging links
