Our wiki follows a strict policy on images. Images can be very useful, but also inappropriate and unnecessary. Uploading pointless images can result in the destruction of an image and a possible block of the user who uploaded the image depending on the content of the image.
Rules
- The image does not reveal your or a different person's appearance. This can result in a block between one week and infinite. (See the Privacy Policy.)
- The image does not reveal inappropriate content, such as swear words or images, violence of any kind, religious symbolism, or explicit content. If this policy is violated, the image will be destroyed immediately, the user will be blocked permanently, and the federal government may be contacted if the image is extremely explicit.
- The image does not violate copyright or trademark of any user, company, or other copyright holder. The image will be deleted and the user may be blocked if this occurs.
- The image is somewhat related to Club Penguin, or is related to something similar to Club Penguin. If violated, the picture may be deleted.
- The image has not been uploaded already. If it has, the image will be deleted.
- The image is not used to intentionally hurt or harass one, or protest a certain aspect unrelated to Club Penguin. The image will be deleted, and the user may be blocked.
Why?
These guidelines are meant to protect the safety of our users and the rights of our users and other people. Some rules are meant to keep the wiki clean and organized.
What if I break these rules?
Breaking these rules could result in termination of an image, and possibly a ban to the uploader. Images uploaded to the internet can be linked to criminal violations of several governments, such as the United States of America and other nations. If a law is broken, possible confiscation of a computer or a criminal conviction may be activated. Please be careful about what content you upload.
Userpage images
If an image is uploaded for the purpose of a user page, than the Unrelated Policy may be excused to some extent. Although, all other policies still must be followed. If you are concerned that an image that you want to upload may violate a policy, contact an administrator to discuss the issue with them.
Reporting images
If you see an image that violates one of the above policies, report it to an administrator, who will delete the image if nesessary:
- Report the image at the RV page.
- Add a message concerning the image at an administrator's talk page.
- Add a "Speedy Delete" template to the image's page.
Have a good day!
