Unturned Wiki:Rules

All editors are expected to follow the Unturned Wiki's rules. These are the standards expected of users when interacting with each other or making contributions to the site. They apply to all interactions on the wiki, such as discussions on talk page, while writing edit summaries, when contributing to your own user page, and so forth.

Etiquette

Treating each other with respect is key to effective collaboration! Good etiquette is rooted in common sense intuitions about working together. Be friendly and flexible, act in good faith, and focus on improving the Unturned Wiki. Rudeness or insensitivity, whether intentional or not, can distract from and interfere with the project.

• Assume good faith – not every mistake is malicious.
• Do not make personal attacks or harass other people. Argue facts, not personalities.
• Avoid name-calling or being condescending.
• Civilly work towards ending disputes.
• Forgive and forget.
• Treat others the way you would want to be treated.
• Recognize your own biases, and keep them in check.

Harassment

Harassment—including threats, intimidation, repeated annoying and unwanted contact or attention, and repeated personal attacks—is damaging to the work of building a wiki. Harassment of an editor on the basis of race, sex, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, or disability is not allowed.

• Avoid singling out specific users by repeatedly inhibiting their work with the intent of creating irritation.
• Do not threaten other editors.
• Posting another editor's personal information without their permission is harassment, unless that person has already voluntarily posted such information publicly.

Sockpuppetry

Editors are generally expected to edit using at most one account. This improves accountability and increases community trust. While there are some valid reasons for maintaining multiple accounts, this section refers to the improper uses of multiple accounts (called sock puppetry).

Sock puppetry can take various forms:

• Logging out to make problematic edits as an IP address.
• Creating new accounts to avoid detection.
• Using another person's account.
• Reviving old unused accounts and presenting them as different users.
• Persuading others to create accounts for the purpose of supporting one side of a dispute.

Misuse of multiple accounts is a serious breach of community trust, and may lead to administrative action being taken. Misuse includes attempts to deceive or mislead other editors, disrupt discussions, distort consensus, avoid sanctions, evade blocks, or otherwise violate community standards and policies.

Username policy

This policy describes what kinds of usernames are acceptable on the Unturned Wiki.

Editors choose their username when creating a user account. All contributions made using that account will then be attributed to the chosen username (contributions made while not logged in to any account are attributed to the user's IP address). Not all usernames are acceptable on the Unturned Wiki.

This section lists the types of usernames that are considered inappropriate. However, the list is not necessarily exhaustive, and common sense should be used when applying these rules.

• Misleading usernames are not permitted. This includes usernames that impersonate other people, give the impression of user access levels the account does not have, give the incorrect impression that the account may be officially affiliated with the Unturned Wiki, or resemble IP addresses.
• Disruptive or offensive usernames are not permitted. Usernames should not reference community controversies, contain or imply personal attacks, intend to provoke emotional reaction, or otherwise show a clear intent to disrupt the Unturned Wiki.
• Usernames that are clearly abusive towards any race, religion, or social groups are strictly prohibited.
• Unambiguously promotional usernames are not permitted. Content hosted on the Unturned Wiki should not be for advertising, marketing, or self-promotion.
