Revision as of 09:30, 24 May 2018
- Post threads in the correct boards.
- Don’t intentionally cause drama or derail posts.
- Don’t spam or Necropost.
- Don’t harass or slander.
Those are the essential rules you need to know. They apply to the Regular Forum only; they do not apply to Discussions because Discussions have their own separate Discussions Guidelines.
For more info and explanations about each of the four rules, see below.
What is each Board for?
- Fanon: Anything related to diep.io Fanon, or conceptions.
- Diep.io: Anything about the game diep.io.
- General Discussion: General Diep.io/Wiki Stuff.
- Tournaments: Tournaments or Contest related threads only.
- Questions & Answers: Asking non-open-ended questions about the Wiki or Diep.io in general.
- Résumés: Requests for User Rights, Internships, or to join Staff.
- Petitions: Requesting new features, rule changes, etc. for the Wiki.
- Violation Reporting: Reports of rule breaking such as vandalism or spam.
- Off-Topic: Anything that is useful or intriguing for the community in some way; either as a game the community can sink its teeth into, or something that’ll spark a genuine discussion. Nonsense is not allowed.
What is Drama?
- Fear mongering over vandals; being frank about the thread they pose is one thing, spreading fear and hysteria is quite another.
- Engaging in pointless fights that devolve into personal attacks and aspersions.
- Anything else a Moderator deems to fall into this category.
What is Derailment?
- Deliberately posting content that is completely irrelevant to the topic so as to either start a fight or take the thread off-topic.
- Willfully engaging in or responding to content that you know will take a post further off topic or into drama.
- Anything else a Moderator deems to fall into this category.
What is Spam?
- Triple-posting successively, or posting identical threads twice.
- Posting excessive walls of irrelevant text, Zalgo, or foreign languages.
- Making unnecessarily large quote pyramids
- Posting Malware or download links, or other unneeded external links.
- Anything else a Moderator deems to fall into this category.
What is Necroposting?
- Posting on a thread that is about to auto-close without just cause.
- Bringing up an inactive thread (around three or more weeks since a reply is generally the bar) to say something that brings up nothing seriously important.
What is Harassment?
- Posting extreme swears or racial slurs with intent to insult.
- Continually acting in a disparaging or otherwise rude manner toward other users.
- Continually trying to attract the attention of and attempting to maliciously troll another person (jokes are fine, but there is a limit to what is acceptable).
- Anything else a Moderator deems to fall into this category.
What is Slander?
- Bringing up random accusations.
- Intentionally attempting to impugn the reputation of another user instead of talking about it.
- Excessively making posts about a single user instead of using their message wall (can also be classed as harassment).
- Anything else a Moderator deems to fall into this category.
- Threads in the Fanon, Tournaments, Résumés, Petitions, Q&A, & Violation Reporting Boards will be closed whenever they exceed 150 replies, unless otherwise stated in the beginning post.
- Threads in the General Discussion & Diep.io Boards will be closed whenever they exceed 300 replies, unless otherwise stated in the beginning post.
- Threads in the Off-Topic Board may continue until they reach the built-in 500 reply cap.
Message Walls
- Main article: Help:Message Wall
All of the above rules are suspended on Message Walls and Talk Pages, and are enforced by Staff only if the Message Wall/Talk Page owner has either officially left the Wiki, is totally inactive, or if consent from the owner is acquired. The owner of each Message Wall or Talk Page may make the rules for their own Wall or Page (within reason) should they desire any. Staff not only respect, but actively enforce these rules to a limited degree. If the owner should complain that their rules have been broken, then such violations shall be treated as harassment and the penalties for which shall be decided on a case-by-case basis.
