Local rules are to be created. Please remember to follow Fandom rules and their Terms of Service.
Fandom Policies[]
All users must follow the global and local community guidelines[]
All users are expected to follow the global user conduct rules and Fandom Community Guidelines. The Overheat Wiki also has its own set of policies regarding user conduct and behavior.
To be specific, users are not permitted to:
- Harass other editors, users, and Roblox users on this wiki; this includes the use of other platforms such as Roblox, Twitter, and other wiki communities;
- Intentionally deface content on our wiki, including other users' pages;
- Post any obscene, pornographic, abusive, offensive, profane content, or content that otherwise violates any law or right of any third party, or content that contains homophobia, ethnic slurs, religious intolerance, or encourages criminal conduct;
- Attempt to impersonate other editors, any staff (Wiki and/or game), or other famous individuals;
- Utilize multiple accounts in a manner to evade an existing block, to manipulate community impression or support of an idea, or to deceive or mislead other editors;
- Post, upload, transmit, share, or store unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, solicitations, "spam", or any other type of unauthorized solicitation into articles or in excess (such as to your YouTube channel or other streaming services, Discord servers, etc);
- To discriminate or demonstrate any prejudice towards a group of people based on any socio-demographic or demographic categorizations.
Assume Good Faith[]
Editors should always assume good faith on all edits. Assuming good faith means that you automatically assume that an editor's intentions on editing are good. They want to help the wiki, even if they are doing things that might not be correct. Do not label something as vandalism, unless there is a malicious intent behind it. If an edit needs to be undone, do so kindly and explain why it is being undone; do not say "this edit sucks".
Fandom Conduct[]
There are Fandom policies and guidelines that apply to all Fandom communities (this includes the Overheat Wiki). These are the terms of use, the privacy policy, and the community creation policy. These policies are created by Fandom staff and their enforcement is out of the control of this wiki. However, this wiki specifically enforces the Fandom Community Guidelines and the user conduct section of the terms of use, in addition to the other policies described on this page. Violation of Fandom policies (ie: death threats, being underage) is grounds for an immediate block without negotiation.
Minimum Age[]
Per FANDOM's Terms of Use and their implementation of COPPA, a United States child protection law, all users who register an account on FANDOM must be at least 13 years of age in order to edit our wiki or participate in our forums. Users who reside in California or inside the European Economic Area (excluding the UK) must be the age of 16 to own and operate a FANDOM account.
Users who are evidently below the minimum age will be immediately blocked from our wiki until sometime after the user turns 13 or 16 years old. You can appeal to a Sysop if you have reached the valid age or believe your block was a mistake.
Users may be blocked for being underaged under these circumstances which we see as evidence:
- Users who explicitly state their age is below 13 years old1;
- Users who have different Roblox links2;
- Users whose use a screenshot and it is visibly evident that the user or Roblox account is under the age of 132;
Underaged users may be reported to FANDOM for violating their Terms of Service and COPPA Laws. However, not every user may be reported to FANDOM. Users who are blocked for being underaged regarding the circumstances marked with a superscript "1" are the only users eligible to be reported to FANDOM due to their internal policies.
Users who have been blocked for being underaged for circumstances marked with a superscript "2" may appeal via blocking Sysop's Message Wall, another Sysop's Message Wall, or by contacting the Sysop on Community Central via their Message Wall if the evidence used against the user in question was supplied or shared by a different user.
