Fanverse Wiki:Moderation board
This is a Fanverse Wiki policy. It is a widely accepted standard that all editors should normally follow. Significant changes to this page should reflect community consensus.
Notice: This page serves as the central moderation board for addressing disputes, suspected fanon theft, user behavior issues, and requests for admin attention.
Purpose[edit | edit source]
The Fanverse Wiki Moderation Board exists to maintain the creative integrity, fairness, and safety of the wiki. It is the place to:
- Report suspected theft of original fanon content (bios, timelines, ideas, etc.)
- Raise disputes between editors that could not be resolved through discussion
- Alert admins to vandalism, harassment, or abusive editing patterns
- Request page protections, dispute resolution, or moderation guidance
All reports must be based on **specific examples** and conducted with **respectful tone**. This is not a public shaming wall—it is a tool for upholding the collaborative spirit of the Fanverse.
How to report[edit | edit source]
To file a report:
- Scroll down to the appropriate section below.
- Start a new subsection using this format:
=== User:Username — Allegation type === - Describe the issue clearly, with:
- Links to relevant diffs or pages
- A summary of the concern
- Any attempts at prior resolution
- Sign your comment with
~~~~
Admins will respond as soon as possible. If the issue involves private or sensitive content, reach out to an admin via their user talk page.
