Town of Salem Wiki Forum Rules

1) Post in the appropriate subforum. If a post is in the wrong section or should be removed, leave a comment on the staff page. A staff member will take care of the situation and then respond to the comment to verify the situation has been resolved.

2) Be respectful to one another. It is perfectly okay to disagree with users, but do not resort to name calling or bullying.

3) Please take a moment to sift through the Forum boards to see if a discussion already exists about something you want to talk about. If you can't find what you're looking for, jump right in and start a new discussion!

4) If a thread is over a month old, do not post on it. An exception is if you're the one who created the thread and you're adding something of value to it.
 * Users found pointlessly reviving topics will be punished.
 * First offense: A verbal warning. The user will be directed to re-read the forum's rules.
 * Second offense: Two days blocked from editing the Wiki.
 * Third offense: Five days blocked from editing the Wiki.
 * Fourth offense: Three months blocked from editing the Wiki.

5) Role Ideas
 * Please place the name of your role idea in the title. It is also appreciated if you could place your username in the title, as some roles share the same name.
 * If your role is a joke role, please include that in the title of your thread.
 * Stay on topic. Discuss the role. Anything off topic will be removed and the user may be warned for derailing the thread.
 * Threads which are joke roles are more forgiving, but try not to stray too far. You can always continue the conversation on a user's wall.
 * If you're replying, remember to give constructive criticism. Explain in more than a couple of words as to what is or is not good about the role and do not put the user down.

Users found breaking the rules on the forums may be blocked, even if they are otherwise productive on the Wiki. The rules may change at any point. Users are responsible to keep track of any rule changes. New changes will be noted below in the table:

Forum FAQ
How do I stay on top of discussions I'm interested in?
 * With a Fandom user account, you can follow specific conversations and then receive notification messages (either on-site or via email) when a discussion has more activity. Be sure to sign up for a Fandom account if you don't already have one.

How do I remove vandalism?
 * If you notice some spam or vandalism on a thread, hover your mouse over the offending text. You'll see a "More" button appear. Inside the "More" menu, you'll find "Remove". This will allow you to remove the vandalism and optionally inform an admin.

What are Kudos?
 * If you find a particular discussion or reply interesting, well thought out, or amusing you can show direct appreciation by giving it Kudos. They can be helpful in voting situations, too.

What are Topics?
 * Topics allow you to link a forum discussion with a wiki article. It's another way to keep Forums organized and to help people find interesting discussions. For example, a Forum thread tagged with Roles will appear at the bottom of the Roles article.
