- Do not disrespect the policies you enforce.
- Do not neglect your power.
- Do not misuse your power.
These are the three central tenets that all Diep.io Wiki Staff (including Interns) must follow if they wish to retain their User-Rights & remain on Staff. Failure to comply with these can result in demotions, being fired outright, or in a full ban from the Wiki. Ignorance of these policies is not an excuse for breaking them.

What is the Misuse of Code Admin Rights?
- Unnecessarily removing or altering vital MediaWiki namespace content without a justifiable reason for doing so.
- Editing protected pages just because you can; the rights exist primarily to access protected Templates, not policy pages for example.
- Any other exercises of Code Admin rights that a Senior Administrator deems to be unacceptable.
What is the Misuse of Sentinel Rights?
- Rollbacking a series of edits when only one of them needs to be nullified.
- Blocking accounts without a justifiable reason for doing so, such as to stop spammers or vandals.
- Blocking accounts for ludicrous amounts of time.[2]
- Frequently using IP Bans.
- Unblocking accounts without just cause.
- Any other exercises of Sentinel Rights that a Community Administrator deems to be unacceptable.
What is the Misuse of Moderator Rights?
- Editing the comments of other individuals without a serious reason, such as to turn off autoplay modules, to shrink obnoxiously large images, or to remove other forms of spam.
- Removing Forum or Discussions posts without a serious reason, such as to remove spam, harassing comments, or other threads which break the Forum Policies or Discussions Guidelines.[3]
- Closing/locking threads without a serious reason, such as when threads are many weeks cold, to stop necroposting, or for concluded posts.[4]
- Restoring threads without a serious reason.
- Highlighting or unhighlighting threads without approval from a Community Administrator.
- Using the “delete all posts” button on Discussions if the user in question is not banned. Even then, that button should be used sparingly.

What is the Misuse of Community Administrator rights?
- Protecting unofficial User Subpages without permission from the User.[5][6]
- Edit-Protecting Talk Pages so that normal users cannot write on them; Talk Pages should have Move-Protection only.[7]

- Using unofficial mass edit tools from personal accounts instead of from a bot account.[9]
- Using Administrative privileges to silence opposition & to hide when you have done something questionable.
- Failure to maintain the respectability that is expected of such highly trusted users.
- Any other exercises of Community Administrator Rights that a Senior Administrator deems to be unacceptable.
