General


 * Please create a profile before engaging in chat. While we cannot force you to do so, some users will bother you about it.


 * Do not enforce these rules on chat. This is commonly referred to as "mini-modding". Administrators and chat moderators are appointed for a reason. They are able to identify when the rules are being broken and know how to respond. Enforcing the rules yourself can result in confusion and miscommunication to moderators and administrators.


 * If you a feel a user who is breaking rules is going unnoticed, message a moderator or administrator. Do not take the matter into your own hands.
 * If there are no moderators or administrators on chat and a user is breaking the rules, contact one immediately, and provide screenshots of the user committing the act.
 * However in more severe situations with no help available, take action under the rules.
 * Please respect the decisions of staff on the main chat. If you have any complaints with the actions of a staff member, please discuss it with them in PM. Staff are not allowed to ban users who disagree with their actions.


 * Please follow the Episode Policy. Linking to an illegal episode link will not result in a ban or kick unless excessive or if a user if constantly asking for a stream or link.


 * Mods are not allowed to intervene with what goes on behind closed doors. That means that private messages are a no-rule zone. If you are being harassed by users, block them. Some exceptions may apply with picture proof.


 * Do not make fun of users, especially if they have a disease or illness.


 * Please only use English in main. Because the majority of our user base speaks English and don’t know foreign languages. Its use in the main chatroom can flood up the chat.


 * Please respect the opinions of all users. There is a difference between disagreeing with them and attacking them for having differing views.


 * Linking to any dangerous websites will result in a two week ban. We wish to keep user’s computers safe.


 * DO NOT FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY POST SCREAMERS OR JUMP-SCARES. THIS WILL RESULT IN AN AUTOMATIC ONE WEEK BAN.

Vulgar Language
 * Vulgar language may be used at a minimum, but excessive usage will result in a warning, then a kick, then a ban if needed.
 * Images with adult language are permitted if a warning is issued beforehand. If a warning is not in place, you may be kicked.


 * Links from the “Gemfuck” tumblr account are allowed to be posted on main despite the adult name. Since this blog primarily shares SFW Steven Universe fan art and is popular in the community.


 * Hate speech and derogatory slurs are not accepted on the chat. Any use of these words will result in an automatic kick and then a ban if use is continued.


 * The use of terms related to human genitilla in chat are only reserved for “scientific” context. Do not use words such as “dick” as insults. Mods are still allowed to warn against the usage of these words if felt needed.

NSFW Content
 * NFSW (not safe for work, or things you don’t want to be seen looking at in school or work) is not permitted in chat. No exceptions. If you are unsure if what you are about to link is NSFW or not, please send a link to a staff member in PM to make sure.


 * The talk of NSFW content is sometimes frowned upon in main. If you engage in NSFW topics, you will be warned and encouraged to take said conversation in PM.

Controversial Topics (Politics, religion, suicide, ect.)
 * Be courteous. While it is preferred you avoid topics that make others uncomfortable, if you do discuss these topics do so in a polite, respectful manner. But if a mod requests that you stop talking about such topics, please comply or take the conversation to PM.

Underaged Users
 * If you are underaged, you will be banned until you are 13 years of age. In accordance to Wikia TOU and US Law, users under the age of 13 are not allowed to have an account on any Wikia community.


 * YOU ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO GIVE AWAY PERSONAL INFORMATION REGARDLESS OF WHO REQUESTS IT. IF A STAFF MEMBER TRIES TO FORCE INFORMATION OUT OF YOU REPORT IT TO AN ADMIN IMMEDIATELY.


 * If a user is revealed to be underaged, do not make a big deal about it. Just quietly screencap and PM a staff member about it.

Spam
 * Spamming, considered as excessive posting of the same message multiple times, posting numerous messages of gibberish with no legitimate meaning, constant use of emoticons, etc, will give you a warning. If necessary you will be kicked, and if you enter and spam again then you will be given a ban.


 * Walls of text, posts that have over 5 lines of words in one post, are permitted only if you warn first. Please do not abuse these though, if you do, mods will kick you without warning.


 * Caps, which is TYPING EVERY WORD LIKE THIS, is permitted as long as you keep it under 6 words or less. Some exceptions may be in place from time to time though.

Advertising Chats
 * Users are not allowed to link to other wiki chats on main. This opens the door to invasions and can cause wiki wide drama. If you are caught linking to other chats on main, you will be kicked without warning. If you are caught trying to encourage invasions on other chats, you will be banned.

Role-playing
 * While role-playing is allowed, please keep in mind that role-playing can alienate users from chatting and can clutter the chat. If you wish to go on magical adventures in intergalactic parking lots, consider taking your roleplay into PMs.


 * Do not engage in sexual role-play. Some people prefer not to see Pearl and Frybo straddle each other in main. If users complain or a staff requests you stop, please comply. If you wish to live out your fantasies, do so in PM.


 * You can not “own” a character from Steven Universe. Any arguments that result from this petty drama will result in an automatic kick for any user involved.


 * Original characters are allowed for role-playing.
