Blocking Policy

 THIS IS AN OFFICIAL POLICY OF THE GERMAN INSTITUTE OF MAGIC ROLEPLAY WIKI AND SHALL BE FOLLOWED THOROUGHLY.

Parading
Parading (Pretending to be someone you're not), doesn't tend to be the biggest problem on Wikia because of usernames, but sometimes people post things for other people, or accounts get hacked. If you post anything for someone else, make sure you make it clear that you are not pretending to be them, or this will be taken as an attempt to hack. This applies to anything wiki-related.

Sockpuppeting
Sockpuppeting is defined at DRW as as two or more accounts used or created for abusive and disruptive reasons. If you create and use another account for non-disruptive/abusive reasons, please make sure that it is made clear that the account is not a sockpuppet. Ban length for this offense varies depending on the severity of the actions.

Inappropriate Username
Any username containing rude or obscene words is grounds for an immediate indefinite block, and as are any which insult or imitate another user. No warning will be given.

Disruption
Any disruption caused to the wiki, be it changing comments, vandalism, harassing users ect, may also be cause for a block.

Spam
This refers to posting irrelevant content in articles or creating spam articles, as well as spamming in chat (for example, flooding), and will result in an immediate block.

Personal Attacks
Users who insult/attack another user personally in regards to anything will be given one warning before a cool-off ban. The length of this ban will be dependent on the severity of the attacks. This includes insulting more than one of a user's characters.

Vandalism
Vandalism is defined as any edit which attempts to lower the quality of the wiki and its content, or to disrupt the general functioning of the community. This includes purposefully blanking pages with malicious intent, as well as moving pages to inappropriate or nonsensical titles. Severity of bans for this will vary accordingly.

Copyright
Do not copy any content from this wiki (Including word-for-word stuff, word bubbles and other templates, images, characters ect.) unless given express permission for a bureaucrat or, in the case of characters or word-for-word stuff, the user who added the content. Doing so will result in a warning and request for the content to be removed, followed by a three-day block. Any enforcement after that block is indefinite.

Three warnings will be typically given, followed by three blocks, the third of which will be indefinite. Additionally, admins have the right to block indefinitely on the first offense,
