Welcome to My Home!

Welcome new Wikia Administrators! Congratulations on being selected to be admins on my new Genesis Wikia! As with most staff positions, there are rules that MUST be followed. First, we'll set a few things straight.

1: There are 4 ranks on Genesis Wikia. There are Founder(me), Administrator(Arisa, Stephen_S, and Zak Editor), and Bureaucrat.

Administrators have the right to delete and edit posts, rollback pages to remove large edits, and block IP addresses/account. *You cannot ban an IP without knowing the IP itself, as Admins can't see the IPs of users. I believe you also have layout and theme designers, WHICH WILL NOT BE CHANGED UNLESS IT IS BY ME.

Bureaucrats have the ability to promote other users to Bureaucrat or Administrator, or remove that ability. I am the only user with Bureaucrat rank, and it will remain that way because, unlike Administrator, Bureaucrat is not removable once given.

Users can edit pages.

Founder can do anything.

RULES of being an Administrator. These rules will be followed strictly. After 2 warnings are given out to a single Admin, a 1-week demote will follow. After that week, if another offense is carried out on the Admin's part, he or she will be permanently demoted. So, here are the rules:

1: You, the admins, will not under ANY circumstances attempt to abuse your administrative powers to punish/ban users without reason that has been presented to me beforehand, unless it is a direct emergency. (i.e. someone is tearing up every page with shit, removing everything on a page, etc, and I'm afk/not online.) If I find an Admin to be banning people without reason, it will be a demote and permanent IP ban from the Wikia.

2: You will not, under ANY circumstances, attempt to sabotage, destroy, or in any other way, shape, form or fashion ruin this Wikia. If an accident occurs in which you accidently remove a page, which may happen, it will count as 1 strike, and the page will be rolled back by me.

3: You will not, under ANY circumstances, go against a direct order/request made by me concerning this Wikia. For example, it was previously stated that NOBODY but I will be changing layout or design themes for the Wikia. Going against an order or request of mine will result in a strike to your account, and the work deleted+old theme rolled back.

4: ANY disputes/fights/arguments between Administrators will be settled and dealt with in a civil manner, and I will step in to solve the issue if need be. If one Admin makes an edit, and another deletes that edit because he/she thinks it's wrong and you start deleting his/her posts in retaliation, I will not hesitate to immediately demote you for 1 week. If arguments are going on between Administrators, you can either settle it like mature human beings, or I will settle it for you, which you most likely will not want.

5: ANY issues with another Administrator will be discussed with me. If you have a problem with another Admin on a level higher than a childish grudge like above, contact ME privately, and I will talk with both you and the Admin you have a problem/report against without using either of your names. I will do my best to rectify the situation to make this Wikia as friendly a place as possible, for both Admins and visitors to the page. Any personal lashing/disputes taking place on my Wikia will result in a strike to your account, and possibly more depending on the size of the matter.

6: ANYTHING OUTSIDE of this Wikia WILL NOT be brought in here! For example, Jimmy is a staff member on Gen(hypothetical). Jimmy mutes Wikia Admin Jeffrey for breaking a rule. Wikia Admin Jeffrey WILL NOT retaliate using Wikia to ban him/punish him here in any way. Doing so will result in a week-long demote+a strike to Jeffrey's Wikia account. Also, vice versa. If Jeffrey has to ban Jimmy on Wikia with a valid reason, Jimmy will not ban Jeffrey on Genesis. I will notify John if this happens, and insure action is taken.

7: THE RULES ABOVE WILL BE FOLLOWED AS BEST AS POSSIBLE, AND ANY PROBLEMS WITH THESE RULES WILL BE SPOKEN ABOUT TO ME.
