This is an official project page of Looney Tunes Wiki. This means that these are guidelines of our wiki rules and policies, which must be followed. Failure to follow these rules can result in blocks from editing this wiki and its affiliates.
While many editors are good contributors to the wiki, there are some that aren't. These so called "not so good" contributors can do something known as vandalism or spam. Spam is technically a form of vandalism, if meant to damage a reputation of an article. While many of these editors get blocked for a period of time, there are ways to help, by reporting these users.
Some things they do
- Blanking the page
- Adding gibberish in a paragraph
- Spamming the same thing on multiple articles
- Uploading pictures irrelevant to the subject
- Spam a message on multiple walls
Vandals will usually be blocked for a period of time. The first offense is 1 week. The second offense is 2 weeks. The third offense is a month. And so on....
What you can do to help
If you see a vandal:
Step 1: Undo their edit. If it cannot be undone, contact an Acme Head.
Step 2: Once undone, either report the problem to an Acme head or wait for them to notice. Most Acme Heads patrol the activity of wiki and check the article's history, so sometimes, there is no need to report a problem.
Step 3: The Head will thank you and block the vandalism-only account user without warning, usually for 3 days or more.
Thank you for taking a step to make the wiki a better place for everyone!
