==General Rules For This Website==
 
These are the general rules of the Sims Wiki. If these rules are broken, warnings and/or bans will be given out, as specified.
 
<ol><li>Vandalism of any kind is prohibited.
::* A minor violation can be characterized as a small change of wording. This will result in an unannounced warning.
::* Blanking the page or removing a significant amount of it will result in a block time of one (1) day.
::* Inserting profane words into a page will result in a block time of three (3) days.
::* Vandalism of the Main page or any of its templates is an automatic three (3) day block time.</li>
 
<li>Inappropriate words, such as cuss words and other profanity, are strictly forbidden on articles, userpages, usernames, and discussion pages. This wiki caters to a general audience!
::* If an inappropriate word is used it will result in a block time of one (1) day.
::* If an inappropriate word is used in a username, the user will be blocked indefinitely.</li>
 
<li>If a page is created on a topic already covered with different spelling it is up for immediate deletion or a <nowiki>#REDIRECT</nowiki>. Also if a page is created with Vandalism it is also up for immediate deletion.
::* If the title of the page contains vandalism, the user who made the page will receive a block time of three (3) days.
::* If a page is created with vandalism, the user who made the page will receive a block time of three (3) days.</li>
 
<li>Any empty page created after this policy takes effect will be deleted. Pages created before that point may and should be flagged by users using the 'Report a Problem' feature, and the page will be logged as 'To be deleted'. If, after one month, the page does not have at least three facts on it (in complete sentences!), it will be deleted.</li>
 
<li>Blocks will escalate in severity if multiple offenses are committed.</li></ol>
</li></ol>
 
General Admins like Wikia admins, janitors, and helpers may use discretion when blocking a user, as that user may or may not be doing cross-wiki vandalism.
 
''This Rules Policy has taken effect as of 28 March 2008.''
