Guidelines


Guidelines have been set in place to avoid Chaos and Confusion, any break of a Rule will have an Punishment, with it being defined or not, depending on the situation and Rule broken.

Admins don't always needs to follow a specific Pattern and could give you an immediate Ban off the Wiki depending on the Case.




General

﹥ The Minimum Age on this Wiki is 13,
└ Any Member who is caught being Under-Age will get immediately removed off the Wiki with their Entries also being purged as well.
﹥ Be Respectful towards Everyone,
└ Harassment and Discriminatory Behavior falls under this as well.
﹥ Avoid typing/speaking in other Languages, use only American English,
└ Set due to people Bypassing the Moderation.
﹥ ALT Accounts are extremely prohibited,
├ ALT Accounts could be used for Mass Rating Spams and Ban Evasions,
└ You can only use an ALT Account if you got the Permission from a Higher-Up.
﹥ N.S.F.W Content is not Allowed,
└ This also counts for Censored or Cropped pornography.
﹥ Use Common Sense,
└ Just because a Rule you know and should follow isn't mentioned here, it doesn't means you can go breaking it.

Entry Creation

﹥ If you want to create an entry, consult a moderator or someone who is apart of the writing team about the concept.
├ We don't want God-Like entities to slip into the cracks, nor anything that doesn't make sense.
└ This may seem cruel on paper, however, too much creative freedom will ultimately cause chaos around the site. We want to learn from the past wikis, and fix their mistakes, not repeat history for the billionth time in a row.

For levels, the entrances and exits have to make some sense. It can't be anything like "If you smash your head with a hammer 20 times you will wake up on Blah Blah Blah." (I am looking at you Level 74.)

└ No, seriously. Do you know how many times people made an entrance that is so stupid that it might as well not be one? Too many.

You can mention Life-Forms and have notes on your articles, but DO NOT make them the main focus. Briefly mention them, and continue talking about the Level/Life-Form in question.
An article cannot be overly long to the point of being uninteresting. (cough cough Level 94 cough cough)
NO. FANTASY. WORLDS.

└ Yeah, we are going that far in limiting creativity. If you want a fantasy world Backrooms, go to the Wikidot or something I don't know.

Exits from The Backrooms that lead to Baseline Reality are STRICTLY prohibited. We do not want this version of The Backrooms to be scaryless (if that is even a word [HINT, ITS NOT]).
Your entry needs to be Liminal, Mysterious and Strange. Nothing should be over explained at all, otherwise, it ruins the emersion. Properties that cannot be explained should not be explained. Certain properties that we are able to understand can be freely explained. Just don't overdue/overexplain it.
Percentages cannot be used for anything due to the Backrooms Properties (this also includes various objects and entities). Again, as mentioned before, nothing should be explained to the core.
Sub-Levels need to reflect their Original Level. What do we mean by this? They should reflect their parent Level environmentally, and the only way to enter them is through their parent level.

└ Example: Level 10 is an wheat field coated in fog, Level 10.1 is just Level 10 but all the plant life is dead, still coated in a thick fog.

Articles must be greenlit before being posted. You must at least have 3 crits. If all of them are negative, improve from whatever feedback your given.
Do not use the term "is an infinitely" or "presumably infinitely" since it is already known that Levels already got those properties.
Make sure the concept of whatever your making is cohesive and follows a line of understanding. If it is too hard to follow, change it up a bit until it follows this guideline.

Green-Lighting

﹥ Be constructive. Don't bully those who make bad articles. Don't make them feel like shit. Be honest with your crits too if the concept fits with our policies.
└ We don't want a horrible reputation now do we?

Point out any mistakes you see in the article your reviewing.

└ This includes grammatical mistakes.
