||'''Overview of Problems'''||Since registering, it seems that Corymach7 has been trying to work with rumors regarding future titles within [[The Sims series]]. While that is not necessarily a bad thing, the issue lies with the fact that Cory has been creating numerous prediction forum threads about fictional, either dismissed rumors or his own creations, entries to the series and despite several warnings, he still seems to persist by even going as far as [http://the-sims-4.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=2 creating a false rumor on an external forum] and [[Talk:The_Sims_game_rumors#I've_made_The_Sims_4_Pets_Prediction|trying to pass it off as an official announcement]]. Another problem is that Cory will resort to edit warring to try and get his own way by reverting administrators, which is frowned upon anyway. Based on his contributions in general, it seems that Corymach7 has made some good faith edits and could potentially be a very good asset for The Sims Wiki in general but unfortunately his persistence in adding false rumors and edit warring has become quite problematic.

||'''User Restrictions'''||
*Cory must not create forum threads predicting what would be in an expansion/stuff pack which has been unconfirmed. Failing this will earn him a 1 day block and repeating the offence will get him another block double in length from however long his last block was (i.e. 1 day → 2 days → 4 days and so on).
*Cory isn't banned from working with rumored titles. However as a general wiki-wide guideline, he must cite reliable sources for any rumors he adds to the wiki. Any non-sourced/unreliably sourced rumors should be reverted and Cory should be warned by an administrator, followed by the blocking system listed in the above restriction if he persists.
*If reverted by another user, Cory must not retroactively revert the revert/engage in edit warring and if he has any queries with it, he should take it up with the user who reverted him. Any edit warring will also result in a block. An exception to this is if in the unlikely event that a user disruptively reverts Cory and if this is to ever happen, Cory should either tell an administrator or [[The Sims Wiki:Report|leave a report]] for an admin to attend to.
