Rules
These rules are subject to enforcement at the discretion of moderation staff. Violations may result in warnings, temporary bans, or permanent removal from the community. When in doubt, ask a moderator before acting.
Code of Conduct
- English Only.
- All communication within the community must be conducted in English to ensure clarity and accessibility for all members and moderation staff.
- No Hate Speech.
- Hate speech, harassment, or targeted abuse toward any individual — including YandereDev — is strictly prohibited. Criticizing conscious decisions and actions is permitted; however, personal insults, slurs, threats, or degrading language are not tolerated. This policy aligns with and reinforces the Fandom Terms of Use, which all users are expected to follow.
- Slurs and vulgar language are strictly prohibited, regardless of whether they are directed at anyone.
- Avoid Conflicts and Drama.
- Deliberately instigating arguments, fueling interpersonal drama, or publicly airing grievances with other users is not allowed. Resolve disputes privately or through staff mediation.
- No Necroposting.
- Do not respond to threads or discussions that have been inactive for more than six months.
- No Spamming or Off-Topic Content.
- Avoid flooding the space with repetitive, meaningless messages or content unrelated to Yandere Simulator. Stay on-topic within each designated area.
- No Advertising.
- Commercial advertising, referral links, or recruitment for external communities without prior staff approval is forbidden.
- Self-promotion is permitted in personal profiles and when sharing original art or other content you created yourself.
Content-Related Guidelines
- No Leaks.
- Sharing or requesting content not released yet — including screenshots, assets, or private developer communications — is strictly prohibited.
- Share Art Respectfully.
- When posting or referencing fan art, always credit the original creator. Do not repost others’ work without permission or present it as your own.
- Do not post or recolor official artworks; most artists are not comfortable with it. When creating redesigns, use video games, avatar creators or your own art.
- No Disturbing or Inappropriate Content.
- Real-life violence, sexual content, shock imagery, or otherwise NSFW material is not permitted.
Profile Conduct
- Respect Others’ Profiles.
- Do not edit, vandalize, or interfere with another user’s profile page unless explicitly granted permission by that user.
- Staff reserve the right to remove, update, or replace profile templates or images if they become unavailable, broken, or violate community standards.
- Do Not Remove Notices or Warnings.
- Staff-issued notices and warnings must remain visible unless officially removed by a moderator.
- Do Not Obstruct Functionality.
- Avoid using profile elements that impair site performance or user experience.
- Disclose Alt Accounts.
- If you operate alternate accounts for any reason, you must clearly link all associated profiles in each account’s profile.
Page Editing & Contributions
- No Vandalism or Knowingly False Edits.
- Deliberately adding false information, deleting valid content, or otherwise sabotaging pages will result in an immediate ban.
- No Fan-Made Content on Official Pages.
- Fan theories, original characters, custom textures, or unofficial game mechanics must not be added to the wiki articles. Instead, use designated fan content areas, such as the Fanon Wiki, Discord server, or Discussions section.
- No Speculation.
- Avoid adding unconfirmed rumors, predictions, or assumptions to articles. All edits must be verifiable and based on official sources or developer statements.
Warnings and Blocks
Warning is a written, public reminder notice sent to a specific user on their message wall. The purpose of a warning is to inform the user of potential consequences and to document instances of inappropriate behavior and should not be deleted from a user's wall unless proven unjustified.
Blocking is an extreme measure to prevent a specific user from causing harm to the wiki and should only be used in appropriate circumstances. The exact duration and criteria for blocking are determined on a case-by-case basis by the staff, but the following guidelines should be considered:
- In cases of minor damage and prior warnings, the block length should be 7 days, and if applicable, should be partial.
- The block length should increase depending on the severity and extent of the damage, and the prior blocks and warnings given to the user.
- A permanent block may be issued if an account appears to be created solely for malicious purposes, or in cases of repeated violations and disregard for warnings and blocks.
Warnings do not "expire;" they should always be considered along with the duration since they were issued and any changes in a user's behavior.
If a user thinks their account was blocked by mistake or due to a false positive from the automatic vandalism prevention system, they can contact an administrator at Community Central.
