Acepedia talk:Site policy

September 2019 Update
I'm looking to update the site policy with a few things I've noticed over the past few weeks, especially after cleaning up some Discussions reports. I want to put each policy in numeric order and expand on some of them. My changes are in each section below. Click here to scroll down to the Discussion section.

Conduct

 * CHANGED: Keep it civil and tasteful. => Keep your interactions civil and tasteful.
 * NEW: Throwing vulgarity at other users, especially in an argument, constitutes harassment. Don't do it.
 * NEW: Don't be lazy.
 * NEW: Do not ask for someone to edit a wiki page. It's a wiki—you can edit the page!
 * NEW: Do not ask for information you can easily find by a simple search.
 * MOVED: Do not circumvent a block.
 * The contents of this policy just come from the Blocks section, but I'm moving it to Conduct.

Content

 * CHANGED: 's original text is protected by the CC-BY-SA Creative Commons license.
 * NEW: You must credit if you copy its original text.
 * CHANGED: Do not copy outside text without permission.
 * NEW: Text copied from Wikipedia is very likely to be deleted.
 * NEW: Text taken from Ace Combat materials or otherwise must be properly cited and fall within fair use.
 * CHANGED: Files must be properly sourced and eligible to host here.
 * CHANGED: A valid copyright tag must be used on the file's description.
 * CHANGED: The file must fall within fair use or be otherwise publicly available (public domain, etc.) to remain on.
 * NEW: Do not spam the wiki or its logs.
 * NEW: Content must be relevant to the article's subject.
 * NEW: Make a single edit, two if necessary—do not edit an article repeatedly in a short time.
 * NEW: If you're using a source editor, use the preview function!

Blocks
I'm just simplifying this section completely to just say the following:


 * First offense: Warning on a user's Message Wall
 * Repeat offenses: Short blocks (hours or days)
 * Further offenses: Longer blocks (weeks to months)
 * Special cases: Permanent block (reserved for spammers, bots, consistent offenders, mainly those who aim to do harm to the community)

Sep2019 Discussion
We (as a community) are no longer allowing changes to policy pages without community consensus to make sure everyone in the community is on the same page. So before I make these changes, I need to know if everyone is in agreement or if there's any feedback. Myself and Qbicle want to keep this place as civil and productive as possible, so it's important that we make sure our site policy is up-to-date. Remember, these aren't steadfast rules because everyone has a say in them.
