Community Guidelines
'''Jump right in! '''Don't be afraid to get started. Anyone is free to edit a wiki, so start commenting, creating new forum threads, and editing articles pages.

Collaboration is key. Collaboration means you work together to build, design and make decisions. No one person owns or rules a community site. Rather, it is built, supported and owned by all participating community members.

Practice open-mindedness and assume good faith. Obey Me! wiki is open for anyone to contribute to, users of all skill levels and opinions are welcome to participate. We assume that most people who work on a wiki are trying to improve it, not hurt it. If you see a problem, it's best to ignore such behavior and notice an admin or moderator.

Be nice and treat people with respect. Being friendly goes a long way, no matter where you are. Please remember that the user you're speaking to is an actual person, not a computer screen. Mean comments, aggressive behavior, and vandalism all affect real people. If you wouldn't say it in person, don't say it here. If it breaks the Terms of Use, please don't say it at all.

Don't be disruptive. When we say disruptive, that means your behavior is starting to affect other people and their ability to engage on the Obey Me! wiki. This includes spam, vandalism, and anything else that takes people's attention away from the matter at hand towards what you're doing.

Don't feed the trolls. Do not respond to those who try to ruin your work. You are giving them what they want - attention. The more you do that, the more they will be back for more. It's best to be calm, and limit contact with vandals. The less attention they get, the more likely they are to move on. Don't play games with the vandals as this makes it more fun for them.

Spread the word! A community is only as strong as all of its members. The more it has, the stronger (and more successful), it will become. So invite your friends, family, schoolmates and others who may be interested. Spread the word on Facebook, Twitter, Discord, blogs on the same topic or any place where people who are interested may hang out.

'''Ask for help. '''If you are confused or need help, just ask! There is a lot of help all around you in the Obey Me! community. You can ask an admin or moderator, check out Help Pages, Support Forums, Fandom admins and staff. No question is too small!

Never forget to have fun! Our community sites are places to have fun, meet new people, and learn more about your favorite topics. There is serious work to be done, but you should always remember to enjoy what you are doing!
