User:Gares Redstorm/Action

Maturity and courtesy towards other users play a big part of keeping Guild Wiki’s reputation and structure intact. This ideal seems to have been lost over time. It is up to the discretion of administrators to deal with problem users. This includes those users that vandalize, break policy, and disrupt the flow of Guild Wiki in general.

Recently, users in certain namespaces of Guild Wiki have shown disrespect to other users by mocking their work, insulting them directly, and breaking policy. This type of behavior cannot continue, should not continue, and is the reason I am writing this. If anyone, including myself, acts in such a way as to blatantly abuse another user in any form, there will be a procedure of which I will follow.

Usually, the first offense will result in receiving a warning. If such behavior continues afterwards, that user will be banned. If that user then continues to act immature and abusive towards others, additional bans will be placed for a longer duration each time until such abusive behavior ceases.

In the rare cases where the first offense is severe, the user will be immediately banned for a period determined on the severity of the offense. As with any bans, this is at the discretion of the adminstrator enforcing the ban of that user.

I hope administrators and users alike are behind this course of action and will help to deter any abusive behavior in the future. As always, users should contact an administrator for mediation and arbitration if such behavior is witnessed.
