User:DarkFeather:Moderation policy

This was prototyped in Discord #assassin-council initially.

The following is our moderation policy.

First Offense

In response to a first-offense breach of , a staff member should send a talkpage message, offering to help and providing specific next steps to bring the page in question back into compliance. We want to assume good faith of our editors, and this kind of action is intended to help inform and guide users, rather than punish.

Second Offense Within 90 days or Refusal

If a second incident occurs after the talkpage message or the user outright refuses to acknowledge the first incident, staff are empowered to send sterner talkpage message and rollback the offending edits. The work is still being tracked in the edit history, but this keeps our pages in line with guidelines.

Third Offense Within 90 Days

If the user persists in not following policy, a stern talkpage message should be sent informing them of the offending edits, the related policy, and the consequences of not following them. Specifically, this message should impress upon the user the necessity of quality controls in order for our Wiki to hold value.

Fourth Offense, Edit-warring, or Spam

At this juncture, the user's activity can no longer be considered beneficial and needs administrative intervention. The user should be banned for one week and a talkpage message left with a Template:Warn1 reference so the user knows precisely why they were banned. Hopefully, this will impress upon them the importance of following Wiki policy and will encourage them to contribute to the community within policy.

Fifth offense, Ban-dodging, or Aggressive Behavior

A fifth offense requires a more stern response of a one-month ban and a Template:Warn2 reference. This should prevent further harm to the Wiki and give the user time to re-assess their actions.

Attempts to ban-dodge or aggressive behavior towards other users also requires a stern response -- the same one-month ban and a Warn2 template should convey this message.

Six Offense or Flagrant Resistance to Prior Warnings

If a user continues to not learn from their prior bans and talk page messages, on their sixth offense they will receive a Template:Warn3 reference and a three-month ban to keep them from damaging the Wiki. Flagrant resistance of contact and requests from staff to avoid being disruptive may also result in this action.

Seventh or Most Severe Offenses

At the seventh offense, the user will be permanently banned with no other communication. This user has shown that they are not willing to constructively contribute to the community, and in the interest of protecting the majority, the user will be removed from this Wiki.

Some other offenses, including sockpuppetry, racism, doxxing, death threats, etc. may earn this response as well. The reasons for this should be well-documented and discussed with a Mentor before implementing.

This level of response may also involve contacting FANDOM directly to take action against the user.
