Hey guys, I thought I might just talk about some rules as a reminder.

I want to discuss farming badges again since many people do not know what "farming badges" means. Farming badges means that you add useless content to a page and then delete it just to earn badges. Or, farming badges could be spamming on blog posts to earn badges. These are examples of farming badges. We will only give you one warning for farming badges. If you farm badges afterwards, you will be subject to a VERY long block.

I would also like to talk about Welcome Greetings. The Welcome Greeting is the first message you receive when you join the Wiki. Usually these messages mean a lot for users. However, lately I have seen MANY users spamming OTHER users' Welcome Greetings forcing me to close them. Please do NOT comment on a post not directed towards you unless you are a staff member attempting to help a user.

The last thing I'd like to talk about is about sexual comments. Many of you probably already know what I'm talking about. If not, here goes. In the past few weeks I encountered a user leaving sexual messages towards another user. This made the victim very unconfortable. Please do NOT leave sexual comments on other peoples' walls. Sexual harrassment is a form of cyberbullying which is against the law in many major countries. So please do not leave any sexual comments on any other persons' wall.

Thank you,
