Being more specific about the fact racism is not acceptable
* '''Specific erasure or prejudice against portions of the LGBTQ+ community''' such as [[Bi#Perceptions and Discrimination|biphobia]], [[Transgender#Perceptions and Discrimination|transphobia]], transmisogyny, [[Stellian#Perceptions and Discrimination|stellphobia]], [[Asexual#Perceptions%20and%20Discrimination|aphobia]], etc.
*'''Racism''' (the unfair treatment of a minority race). (This includes making racist comments such as commenting that a certain race has a negative trait inherently, making exclusionary comments about racially specific identities, refusal to comply when it is explained an action was racist and harmful, and general bigotry/prejudice against minority races. Additionally - Please be aware that racism against White people does not exist, and we will also act against the claim that it does in the same way as we would any other bigotry.)
* '''Ableism''' (Neurodivergent and physically disabled experiences need to be respected and understood, and discriminating against someone for perceived or actual disability is not allowed.)
* '''Whorephobia''' (Although this wiki will not focus on or host NSFW/overtly sexual content, respect should be given towards SWs and anti-SW sentiment is not allowed.)
* '''Pluralantagonism''' (Systems are welcome on our wiki, and content invalidating them, including non-traumagenic systems, is not allowed.)
Bigotry can often be handled according to a moderator's discretion. A polite first warning being left in reply to bigoted comments should be the typical response if context indicates that the user in question didn't understand the issues with their comment, but comments that seem in bad faith can be dealt with more harshly. This is detailed more in one of the following sectionsections.
=== Slurs and Reclamation ===
Given that Ezgender Wiki is based around gender identities, orientations, and other LGBTQ+ facets of identity - '''Do not use bigoted language, including slurs which degrade another person or group of people based on gender, race, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, etc.'''
However, there is a marked difference between someone insulting another person with these slurs, and someone who reclaims slurs that get used against them and incorporating those words into their identity. '''Some people reclaim slurs and the act of them reclaiming slurs is their own personal identity and not them applying it to someone else'''. In accordance of [https://www.fandom.com/terms-of-use?rdfrom=https%3A%2F%2Fcommunity.fandom.com%2Fwiki%2FTerms_of_Use%3Fredirect%3Dno Wikia's Terms of Use], no one should ever apply slurs to others without permission - but that's not the same as an identity including a slur. Reclaimed identities like [[dyke]] and [[faggot]] <u>are</u> allowed on the Wiki before some people do proudly call themselves these, <u>using these words for those who specifically haven't given you permission is not.</u>
=== "Not Safe For Work" ===
Fandom Wikia does not allow "NSFW" content. NSFW content is generally defined as content one wouldn't show to their boss at work - Pornography, other graphic sexual content, gore, and the like.
Pages for terms that ''relate'' to these topics here are allowed for the time being, but [https://ezgender.fandom.com/wiki/Template:NotSafe these pages in particular need to use the appropriate warning template] at the top of the page and not include a serious amount of detail about the subject. There is no reason to go into detail about how a sexual act is performed. We believe in archiving who coined these terms, when they were coined, their flags, and so on - But we also need to abide by Wikia's rules. By using Ezgender Wiki, you are agreeing to Fandom's Terms of Service.
== Dealing With Rule Violations ==
The following are warnings and responses that admins may use against users who break the rules. '''From least serious to most serious:'''
* A polite first warning explaining what the user did wrong and asking them not to do it again.
* OneUp orto two more additional warnings.
* Blocks of a duration of 1 to 7 days for minor violations, if the user has continued to break rules after receiving one or more warnings.
* Blocks of 1 to 4 weeks for more persistent violations and/or serious violations.
* Users that engage in persistent, serious vandalism, especially if the account is used only for vandalism.
* Users who have come back from multiple temporary blocks in the past, but still continue to break the rules.
*Users that have accounts that appear to be made only to troll/vandalize and have no edits beyond that.
Accounts that are confirmed to be sock puppets can be blocked permanently. Also, it is '''against the rules''' to create a new account to get around an existing ban. Such accounts '''should be blocked permanently, but only if it is known with certainty that the account is used by the same person who used a currently-blocked account.'''
Generally, if a user continues to break rules, they will incur progressively more serious punishments from this list. For minor violations, users might receive many warnings without necessarily being blocked. However, for very serious offenses, administrators can skip directly from a first warning to a long block. This should be done mainly in cases of accounts that seem to have acted only in bad faith and made by bigots to comment bigotry. (An example could be an account that references TERFs in it's username that makes no edits and has no activity beyond commenting transmisogyny on articles.)
Administrators should provide a clear explanation when performing any block. If a block is neither permanent nor for vandalism, the admin should leave a comment on the user's wall explaining why they were blocked. (Template text for this is available to the Staff in their channels in the Discord.)
