Guidelines
The following list of contains the guidelines for discussions. Users are generally expected to follow them to a reasonable degree, and not be too edgy with them.


 * 1) Swearing in any form is disallowed.
 * 2) * Swearing promotes toxicity, bad behavior, and incivility. It causes the discussions environment to become unbearable for some users as well. Anyone found of swearing will have their posts redacted and likely be warned if the case is small, or blocked if the words used are more heavy.
 * 3) Civility is expected.
 * 4) * It is important to be civil in comments when communicating with other editors. If someone has shown uncivil behavior, they will be blocked.
 * 5) Toxicity in any form is not tolerated.
 * 6) * Any type of toxicity is disallowed, and will result in a block. Toxicity makes the environment of discussions worse and more unbearable for other users, and degrades the culture of discussions.
 * 7) Maturity is expected.
 * 8) * While immaturity is not punishable, it is expected that when commenting, a decent level of maturity is expected. Signs of repeated immaturity may result in a block on grounds of underage users.
 * 9) Personal Attacks in ANY form are disallowed.
 * 10) * Personal attacks in any form are disallowed and will result in a block. Repeated personal attacks will result in a long block or ban.
 * 11) No hate speech, racism, or discrimination of any type of group.
 * 12) * Not only is it wrong to say such things, Such a offense will result in a instant long or infinite block. No type of language in this form is allowed WHAT SO EVER.
 * 13) Discussion of sensitive topics is disallowed.
 * 14) * Discussion of topics such as politics, religion, or sexuality causes debates among involved users, and often results on toxic remarks and heated arguments and further breaches of guidelines. Anyone found discussing topics like this can expect a warn or a block.
 * 15) Shouting in excessively is prohibited.
 * 16) * Shouting in large amounts is not allowed as it is viewed as uncivil or immature. A good rule of thumb is to keep your capital content under 15% of the post content.
 * 17) Keep Topics in their proper channels.
 * 18) * This helps keeps things organized. While 1 or 2 off-topic posts every now and then is fine, excessive off-topic posts are considered disruptive and will result in a short block. The "Off-Topic" category is for posts that don't really fit in other categories, but that does not mean the channel can be used for random conversations.
 * 19) Disruption in any way is not tolerated.
 * 20) * Any type of disruption such as disruptive messages, spam, vandalism, will result in an instant block. Don't try to engage in attention-seeking behavior, let the readers come to you.
 * 21) Keep things PG-13.
 * 22) * Any discussions over PG-13 will result in a long or usually infinite block. Please keep in mind readers of this wiki can be as young as 10 years old.
 * 23) Repeated Breaches of these rules will result in long or infinite blocks.
 * 24) * Repeated breaches of these guidelines will result in longer and longer blocks and eventually a ban from the wiki.
 * 25) Talking about scams in any way, shape, or form any more than a sentence or 2 is discouraged.
 * 26) * While mentioning a scam or advising users how not to get scammed is allowed, talking about them for lengthy periods of time is not. Like politics, discussions about scams create a tense and toxic environment for those who view dissuasions.
 * 27) * Posts like “I got scammed :( please help“ are deleted on sight and may result in a warn/block. If you have been scammed, please see the page on the wiki for advice and guidance.
 * 28) Repeatedly asking easily answerable questions is frowned upon.
 * 29) * While it is acceptable to ask a question like “What weapon to get next” or “Should I get X instead of Y” is allowed, asking easily answerable questions like “how to craft a minion” is not. It clutters discussions, and it wastes people’s time.
 * 30) * The whole point of a Wiki is to provide information and inform users; a question like this should be asked on the Hypixel Forums or any SkyBlock Discord, or be researched on YouTube, Google or this wiki.
 * 31) Filler replies and treating discussions as a chat room are frowned upon.
 * 32) * While it is ok to act casual about posting in discussions, treating discussions as a chat room is frowned upon because it creates a lot of filler replies.
 * 33) * Posting filler replies is frowned upon because it is viewed as immature and creates clutter in threads.
 * 34) Do not be afraid to report.
 * 35) * Reports help moderators and admins catch vandals and toxic users.
 * 36) * If a report is made, but it is determined that it does not violate any policies, it simply gets turned down. One would not be blocked for reporting. All reports are only viewable by moderators and admins, so your anonymity is guaranteed.
