Hello everybody HighJewElfKing here with some important changes for our Discussions users on South Park Archives. We've become increasingly concerned with the recent discourse there regarding shipping and other arguements. As a result we've decided to make changes to Discussions that will go into effect this upcoming Monday. I'll expain the new policies below, discuss (no pun intended) how we'll make discussions a better place and the many ways you can chat an share your thoughts on South Park Archives and Fandom.
NEW DISCUSSIONS RULES, COMING INTO EFFECT THIS MONDAY JULY 27TH
*Poll Moderation and Rules -— Polls are a great way to engage the community. But we often see the same polls conducted over and over again. To combat this we're no longer allowed polls on the same topic for '''AT LEAST 4 MONTHS''' after the previous poll was conducted for a topic. '''THIS RULE ONLY APPLIES TO POLLS''' For example, if someone makes a poll like "Who's your favorite character" with "Stan, Kyle, Cartman , Kenny" as possible answers. There SHOULD NOT be another one with those questions and answers for another 4 months on discussions. A '''NEW POST''' a day later for example with "Who's your favorite character" with "Craig, Clyde, Tweek, Kevin" would be okay but then after the poll would rule would apply for that specific question and answer. We'll be working to build out these rules more and admin / mod decresion will be used for this.
*Images -— The following images are acceptable: Drawings, Screenshots (Please crop out your phones time and cell service indicator etc), Photo from the wiki. '''THE PHOTO MUST BE SP RELATED.'''
*Basic thing here but ''RESPECT OTHER PEOPLES OPINIONS'', DO NOT ARGUE. Constructive criticism and discourse is allowed.
Enforcement Action:
Enforcement Actions will vary based on your account history and discussions history. This may be checked on other wikis outside of South Park Archvies as well and could be used as a factor. Below is the block timelines and enforcement actions
To better assist us with this policy we've added and will be adding more Discussions mods (and Discord mods too). Mods are trusted editors, users from the wiki, discussions and Discord.
If you're interested in becoming a mod. Please fill out this forum (NOTE: Forum only ask for Fandom Username, Discord Tag, Why you should be mod, Other Wikis with admin or mod rights) NO PERSONAL INFORMATION .
Finally some general reminders:
*On Fandom and SPA you can chat socially on our Discord and Discussions and blog posts. Article Comments are '''ONLY FOR DISCUSSING HOW TO IMPROVE THE WIKI ARTICLE''', this excluses Comments on a blog post. At this time we are asking everybody to refrain from using wiki forums due to their discontinuation in the upcoming Fandom UCP MediaWiki update.
We love Discussions, because it's a place where we can all chat about our favorite show easily and quickly with others. Let's keep it an awesome place for everybody. If you have any questions please post below and we will be happy to answer them
