Ban Policy

All contributors must adhere to the User Conduct section outlined in the Fandom Terms of Use. Fandom administrators may enforce their policies on any user, without local admin input.

Contributions should meet the Asheron's Call Community Wiki:Content Guidelines. Contributors that make edits which do not meet the guidelines will have those edits rolled back, and should receive a message from one of the admins. Contributors that repeatedly violate the content guidelines may receive a temporary ban with an additional warning. If violations continue a permanent ban may be placed on that user.

Contributors should not vandalize articles or harass other users. If vandalism or harassment occurs, the offending user should receive a warning from an admin. Repeated offenses may result in a temporary ban and an additional warning. If violations continue a permanent ban may be placed on that user.

Accounts creating repeated spam pages or edits will be permanently banned at the admins' discretion. A permanent ban without warning should only occur with accounts that are obviously spam accounts, and should not ever affect regular contributors.
