1.2

Would the word "Ganja" break it? --ÆAUSSIEevilÆ^TC/ 05:30, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

How about 1.2 is altered? This isn't the HSR website. How about we do like the IRC and keep it...I dunno. PG.

1. REDIRECT User:Lucian Summers/sig 13:21, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

What about TV-Y7? They can say cr**, su**s, and fr***in' in those. 68.162.95.68 21:08, 27 June 2008 (UTC)(WUjcm logged out)

The youngest user here is Micah, but we're not going to make it TV-Y7 for one or two people. The average age of the users on here is roughly 11, 12, or 13. I say expand it to being able to say d**n and h***.

1. REDIRECT User:Lucian Summers/sig 21:11, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Umm... If you can say Crap, Sucks and Freakin, how comes you still censor it? And PG-13? I'm alright with that. Sephiroth 21:12, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

But, I'm 12, almost 13, and I still don't think we should swear. And, do you know what words they use on PG-13? Bad ones. 21:17, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

I have no problem with PG-13. And jcm, if you don't like them, just don't use them. Bluebry 21:38, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

The thing is, JCM, there's no use avoiding swears and stuff, because, no matter how hard you try, you'll hear them a lot. You can censor the Wiki, bt you can't censor life. Sephiroth 21:48, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

I didn't say anything about real life. But, still, since this place is based on the users of the HRFWiki, we should use the same language as there. 21:51, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Most of the language over there has a bit more to do with the fact that it's Homestar Runner stuff, and we should stick to their themes. Plus, most users are about 13. That's perfect for PG-13.  yup  21:56, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

{Abolishes colons} Maybe we should just allow PG-13 and put an age restriction on here...They call me Big T BLOOD 22:00, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

No. We have some 10 and under year olds here and you have no right to ban them because we changed the language rules. Maybe we should ask Super Sam about this. 23:35, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

WELL THEN why don't we keep them and change the rules anyway? If they don't like it, they can leave.  yup  23:37, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

YAY! Slightly more acceptable terms! They call me Big T BLOOD 04:57, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Let's just remove all the objectionable material off of TV because it might offend 3 year olds.-Chwoka 05:07, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh boohoo. Skully B and Ryan Bluefox use minor swears like the "D-word" (BOOHOO YOU SOOKY LITTLE TEN YEAR OLDS), no one goes after them. I don't care much for Skully B using it, but Ryan is a moderator, and aren't moderators like meant to be like mentors of sorts to being a good user? User:Vindicator/sig 09:13, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

We're allowed to use those words now, like Damn, Ass, and Hell. And if we'd like, we can put a warning before our fanstuff to use slightly less acceptable humor, words, and such, so this is REALLY OUTDATED. They call me Big T BLOOD 19:15, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

This problem is arising again. Can someone tell a certain user to stop the major cussing? He does not have exceptions to that rule because he's a mod. 13:08, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

I HAS A QUESTION. I'm new here, and if i'm following this, this 1.2 rule says we can say anything but the f-word and s-word? Right? That's what it says right? PLEASE TELL ME I'M RIGHT.-MikeControl 20:53, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

WE can use the s word if we usse the profanity template. Brerose 20:55, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

And even then, the s-word can't be used a lot. belstrnnmmvnmn 20:58, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

And you have to have written permission from Super Sam. 21:44, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

...There's nothing in the Wiki Guidelines that says that. belstrnnmmvnmn 21:45, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

"Fanstuff" Guidelines

Is there any reason these are called "Fanstuff Guidelines", even though this isn't fanstuff? -- Nacho^Talk 01:32, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes. Look: 4: Email Shows. THAT is Fanstuff. ---pmelondemon43y 01:38, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

NACHO I AM YOUR BIGGEST FAN.

EVER  yup  02:18, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Template

Uh, do we have a template? User:Vindicator/sig 03:48, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

No. I can make one, though, or bring it here from the fanstuff. 04:28, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Please. User:Vindicator/sig 04:32, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Do you want it the same or different from the HRFWiki one? Because I heard that Bluebry might be making one and I might have to ask him first. 19:54, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

An old discussion, but, the template on fanstuff requires a certain addon thing that we don't have here. Someone should make a new one. If no one wants to I guess I will though.  yup  20:19, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

New rule

Everything done on the WUW is to combat terrorism agree/disagree?  yup  20:16, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

I disagree. Little children can't change the world. Those motivational speakers that come to your school lie. There is no difference to make in the world until you're 18. They call me Big T BLOOD 20:22, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

At least I have the testicular fortitude to tell the world the obvious! If only I WAS a terrorist... They call me Big T BLOOD 20:25, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

The only way I would be a terrorist is if I could have a Death Note. Oh yeah. Lex 20:26, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

way to ruin the joke chaos - SKUB ? 20:27, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

This was all covered in the fine point of TD's page, I'm the reason to abolish the first amendment from the constitution. They call me Big T BLOOD 20:29, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

I figure that there's two wastes of time:

1: Waste your time getting worried about things that you can't do anything about and are probably none of your buisiness, starting off your unnessessary ulcer pains early,

OR

2: Waste your time doing stuff like play video games, hang out with friends, just doing stuff you like to do. It's like I always say, "Time you enjoy wasting isn't wasted time."

So, I don't have a stand on anything. If you asked me whether I like Obama or McCain, I would tell you that I don't care. My parents were smart when they bought my house, so they are affected little to none by the collapse of Wall Street. I just don't care. And I'm a happier person because of it. Carpe Diem! Seize the day! SuperfieldCreditUnion

er, you guys probably didn't BUY the house, and instead have a mortgage, in which you should be very afraid

not trying to scare you or anything, but you should really be active in politics since it can come up and bite you in the ass if you aren't  yup  22:12, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

What's there to know about politics? Bush sucks, McCain sucks, Obama's controversial, Hillary's a guy, the Iraqi War basically doesn't exist anymore, and we pay too much money for things like gas. They call me Big T BLOOD 22:18, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

And Ron Paul should of stayed and won. Brerose

you sicken me, both of you - NOID

what's there to know about politics? You guys know that everything you do can become illegal right? if you don't pay attention, who knows, we could be living in a police state or anarchy! you need to learn about politics, and you need to vote. hell, i wish i could vote now.

also raiku ron paul lost the primary he wouldn't have won  yup  22:29, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

We know enough politics to get by, so please shut up. They call me Big T BLOOD 22:30, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

apparently not, because you said the iraq war isn't still going on when we've paid "over $845 billion" for it. in the last five years (six this march). and we're still paying money to it  yup  22:34, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Which just proves that Chaos should never be let onto television or let near a voting booth.

im ron paul and i can put my entire hand in my mouf - SKUB ? 22:36, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

If you idiotic assheads would please turn your attention to my earlier remark, it clearly states that it's basically over, because it seems to have faded out of the direct attention of most average americans between the ages of 10 and 45, but facts don't matter to you guys, you're "Finger-Up-Your-Narrow-Ass" republicans, meaning that you don't care, as long as you can exert your power, you feel good, when you're actually just demaning yourselves, or should I pull out the Nixon and Reagan cards? They call me Big T BLOOD 22:46, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

...it's still going on though

also please don't insult people just because of their political party, i mean jesus  yup  22:48, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, I'm all out of mean things to say and Scandalous people on the Wikipedia U.S Presidents List to name. I think I'm done. Sorry about that. They call me Big T BLOOD 22:49, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

JUST STOP YOUR ARGUING! Jeesh, you guys are worse than Micah! Brerose

The argument is done dont you see that oh jesus never mind - SKUB ? 22:55, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Raiku, you know nothing about Micah, so stop slinging his name around as if you were a user back when he had a fanstuff account. They call me Big T BLOOD 22:59, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey there American politics, I don't give a crap about you! Git off my talk page. - Super Sam 23:45, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

You see, it's funny because we stopped. Therefore making that irrelevant. They call me Big T BLOOD 00:02, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

i know this discussion is over but seriously what did reagan ever do that was scandalous i mean he was like fifty billion years old and got shot AND LIVED AND WON and then he was all "MR. GORBA CHAUVE, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL" - NOID

fitty got shot 8 times and lived that makes reagen a sissy miss prissy TheCheese

2.1

Should stuff like apostrophes and middots count? I think yes.  yup  02:11, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

I...don't think it matters. I guess that depends, what's wrong with apostrophes and middots? They call me Big T BLOOD 12:15, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

A lot of things.  yup ^{'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·Talk'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·'·} 05:53, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm sure that counts in the rule. And there should be no one dumb enough to do that, anyway. 13:49, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

I think Bluebry wants us to edit the rules so it says "apostrophes and middots" in it, for clarification. They call me Big T BLOOD 17:27, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

1.9

What happened to it? 21:37, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

"Taken out: not applicable to the Wiki User Wiki." --Patrick^{And Iori too!} 21:41, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Where does it say that? 21:41, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Page three of the history. Miss Peach

Where is that? 21:44, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Here. --Patrick^{And Iori too!} 21:45, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

But there, that rule was moved to 1.10. 21:47, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

That rule isn't here either. --Patrick^{And Iori too!} 21:48, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Exactly, which is why we need it back. 02:08, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

We don't need it back. They call me Big T BLOOD 02:10, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Yes we do. Or at least merge it with 3.3. 02:13, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

JCM: We don't need it back. I'm sure it was taken down because it was stupid. --Patrick^{And Iori too!} 17:22, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Spam

We really need a rule against spam. This includes pointless pages and images with the intent to flood other pages. Lex 22:35, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

You do realize who you are, right? They call me Big T BLOOD 22:41, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

I know, but I like to have other people's opinions before I do stuff. I don't like to go Antoinette on people. Lex 22:42, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

I agree. Miss Peach

Same. 大棒さっさと棍子 22:55, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

doggie

the rule would have to be specific, though. "NO SPAM" isnt a thorough rule i think. id go with more "no images/pages that cannot serve a purpose etc" TheCheese 23:35, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that's what I meant. Don't you have any objection towards this at all? Lex 23:41, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

this is already a rule, it's pretty much unwritten but it's assumed and there is no need for it to be a guideline since they guide fanstuffs only :grad:

if someone is spamming, tell them to stop or let a mod/sysop handle it  yup  00:10, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

New Rule/Rewrite

Obviously, creativity and originality has been slowly slipping away with more and more fictions copying off one another. This is why I propose a new rule (or an add on to 1.8) about copying other fictions' concepts and plotlines. It would go something like this;

"If a fiction or concept of a fiction is deemed too close or too similar to another, the fiction must be changed or be deleted. This includes characters, plotlines, and entire fictions all together."

I, obviously, am terrible at writing official rules, but I'd like some feedback on this idea. -- 00:26, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Yes. Just yes. Miss Peach

No. Just no. Brerose 02:12, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Sylar? Why is it that you disagree? Honestly, how are you supposed to debate this without backing? -- 03:09, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

I heavily agree with Denzel's rule. I hate whenever my or my any of my friend's character are plagiarized. - nehnjaduehk 03:21, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

One of this wiki's biggest problems is that nobody here makes their own damn stuff. Yes on proposition denzel!!!!! THENOID 03:23, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Also, why is it that Sylar disagrees with this rule?- nehnjaduehk 03:24, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Isn't it obvious? They call me Big T BLOOD 03:27, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Grood point. - nehnjaduehk 03:42, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Accept. Lucian Summers 21:28, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

May we just go ahead and consider this a rule now? -- 18:03, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Super Sam? -- 04:10, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

yeah sure why not - Super Sam 06:40, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Okay, guys

We need to enforce the rules more. I'm tired of everyone breaking them because they have "money". We need to treat all rules more like laws with actual punishments for breaking them. 02:06, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

I completely agree. -- 03:09, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Okay, you two can follow the rules, and we'll act like real people in the real world, and break them. They call me Big T BLOOD 03:14, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Okay good luck with that. Just wait until you actually get banned... -- 03:15, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Nobody is going to follow these rules because they already DO follow them, it's just an obscene form of following them. They call me Big T BLOOD 03:17, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

JCM, I agree. Anybody that doesn't agree, stop being an immature idiot okay, your wiki will fall before 2009 if you don't do something. - NOID

Obviously, something's wrong with so many arguments starting up every other day. -- 03:20, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, we've argued about:

• Religion
• Politics
• Rap
• Zoo's Secret
• Sylar
• Sylar copying stuff.
• Originality
• Behavioural Patterns
• The sexuality thing was actually kind of calm and controlled...
• Web Comics
• Chwoka
• Chwoka's additude
• Use of the sandbox
• and...this.

They call me Big T BLOOD 03:27, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

...and that's good? Obviously, our users may need to start being a little bit mature.... Also, please don't make this an argument. It's a discussion. -- 03:35, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Honestly, when people try something like this, they always seem to worry about what hasn't even happened yet. They call me Big T BLOOD 03:39, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

No. We're looking at how messed up this wiki currently is, how arguments are sprouting up every day, and how immature the wiki has begun. -- 03:41, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

And then they misunderstand the context of a lot of people's words... They call me Big T BLOOD 03:42, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

We should be worrying about stuff that hasn't happened yet because we don't want that stuff to happen and we should prevent it from doing so. THENOID 03:43, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

There's something new. Noid steps in with a very sensible thought, only to have a moment of silence...look, what we have to do is take this slowly, one step at a time. They call me Big T BLOOD 03:44, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

The point of the matter is, the rules aren't being followed, and they need to be followed. Otherwise, this wiki won't be alive much longer... -- 03:45, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

The Wiki's going to live forever, it's the users that won't last. They call me Big T BLOOD 03:47, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

pro tip: the more we talk about the wiki deteriorating, the more it will seem like it is e.g. the fanstuff TheCheese 03:51, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

little known fact: people typically over react to things like this and take the wiki down with the so STAY FROSTY They call me Big T BLOOD 03:52, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

From now on, can we please keep all comments relevent and calm, as to not start exactly what we're trying to end? Thank you. The point is, the rules are there. People aren't following them. We should start cracking down. -- 03:55, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

But people ARE following them. Those people just do it in ways you don't see at a cursory glance. They call me Big T BLOOD 03:56, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

"Fanstuff?"

I know this seems kinda frivolous in comparison to the arguments above, but I don't really know if "Fanstuff" accurately depicts the work going on here. We may be fans, but that's not how we identify ourselves over here. I'd say the stuff is more like... Userworks. I dunno, it's just something minor that bothers me.

ekul/ekul 08 TheCheese 17:48, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, that's why it's called the Wiki User Wiki, because we write about Wiki Users and such, but somehow, we picked up the tradition of making "fanstuff" from the HRFWiki. I personally don't mind. They call me Big T BLOOD 17:55, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Yes...not just a simulation of events based off of what's happening in the real world as we kidnapped you and put you into a hypnosis-like state that allows you to help us in our endeavor to defeat the enemy. They call me Big T BLOOD 22:38, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

I do agree that the name needs a change but "Fiction Guidelines" doesn't have that same ring to it. Any other suggestions would be good, however. - Super Sam 18:06, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

HOW'S THAT ONE They call me Big T BLOOD 00:18, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

1.6

OK, obviously most of the fanstuff here does not center on wiki users, which is why the rule needs to be rewritten. Saying they have to involve wiki users in some way is easy to disregard. 02:31, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Stuff like E&D is fun, but the sad truth is that we're still breaking 1.6. Should we make it more lenient or more strict? - X On Fire 02:53, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

No. This place was probably made to be destroyed by us because Super Sam wanted to watch something funny after his sitcoms got cancelled. They call me Big T BLOOD 02:55, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

{Gasp!} It's all an elaborate hoax...THIS IS A REALITY SHOW! - X On Fire 03:25, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

I think it should say stuff must involve wiki users, or things created by wiki users in some way. belstrnnmmvnmn 03:49, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Thsi is the Wiki User Wiki, not the Fake Character Wiki. 01:44, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Actually, when asked on the WUW's purpose, Super Sam AND Eric said it was not only for Wiki User, but for fake characters as well. They call me Big T BLOOD 01:46, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Right. This wiki was made for all the stuff in the HRFWiki that didn't involve Homestar characters. -from the desk of 20eric06^t-AES 01:52, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

In E&D's defense, It's meant to be more of an interview show than just a "show". -- 01:53, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Chwoka's — ChwokaTalk

JCM's. Why? Because all this useless fanstuff having barely anything to do with wiki users or fake characters is what causes us to run out of bandwith all the time. Lightning Guy 00:01, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Chwoka's. The guidelines are not meant to be taken literally anyway; they are just meant to be interpreted. With your edit it take away that interpretation and put in strict rules.  yup  00:01, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure rule 1.6 is there because we copied the Fanstuff guidelines from the HRFWiki. I think this should indeed be the "any old shiznit wiki" --86.12.232.113 00:02, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Too bad. It's still the "Wiki User Wiki". And Super Sam won't change the name anytime soon. In fact, do you guys even care about this place? 00:03, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

It's called the Wiki User Wiki because apparently we're horribly unoriginal and your name is JCM that doesn't mean you're not a whiny arsebag. --86.12.232.113 00:06, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

also no one cares about the wuw

jcm if super sam told you to jump off a cliff you would do it because you're a suck up who wants to be a sysop more than you want true love and that's all i have to say -- Nacho^Talk 00:07, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Well, that proves it. I'm one of the only sane people here. This place was made to store fanstuff about wiki users, hence the name. But, yall didn't think it was enough. Which is why the suggestion box is the biggest project namespace page we have. And this place once was good. When there was the Homestar Runner Fanstuff Wiki to keep most users occupied. That was when Fanstuff of the Fortnight was created. But when the purge came, where did they come crawling? Here. And you people treat this place worse than you treated the HRFWiki. It's extremely sad how the veterans didn't learn a thing from the purge. 00:13, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

dude the wuw sucks didn't you get the memo

dude i just told you why it sucks now 00:16, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

so can we remove 1.6 yet THENOID 18:05, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

we ain't removing crud. 18:33, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Okay, so I believe many people are saying rule 1.6 should be abolished because it is not really relevant to this wiki. It's the "Wiki User Wiki", which pretty much means it's a place to put stories and content from the community of the user wiki. It's not the "Wiki User Fanstuff Wiki". Also I don't think we should refer to the content of this wiki as "fanstuff" because we're generally doing it about ourselves and other community members and (with the exception of Blubry) it sounds ridiculous to say we're fans of ourselves? --Dinoshaur gaycm 21:43, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

If we abolish 1.6, the Entertainment Wiki will lose any popularity it had left. 21:45, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

the hell you talking about boy --Dinoshaur gaycm 21:46, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

the entertainment wiki never had any popularity. you only like it because you're a mod there. -- Nacho^Talk 21:49, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

You guys have the wuw, which is named "Wiki User Wiki" for a reason, I have EWiki, which will become unneeded if rule 1.6 is destroyed. Please keep the wiki the same. Thank you, - Raiku.

Hey if I brought back rule 1.6 and enforced it would people leave in droves?
Because if so it would save a lot of bandwidth for me. - Super Sam 08:27, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Email shows?

Since we, unlike the HRFWiki, contain mainly non-email shows, don't you think we should widen the variety of the 4th section? 02:32, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

yeah, we probably should. although i prefer short writings to ensure I don't have to add unnecessary detail, but, i can see why this is needed  yup  02:35, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, I personally think it's easier to write a normal show, as all the episodes don't have to depend on other users' ideas, though it does help to get a suggestion from time to time. 02:37, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Does anyone else agree with the idea? 12:38, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

I have expanded on your idea by removing the section all together. - Super Sam 22:04, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

While I see your reasoning in this matter, I was planning on reviving Ert Emails since I brought him back. Am I still aloud to, or are we cutting emails out of the WUW completely? Good Deal Dan 22:08, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

I've just removed the rules, all the Wiki User stuff is still there (now in one delicious page even). - Super Sam 22:20, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Super Sam, we are in hard times. In order to keep the wiki up, we'll have to be more strict with the rules. We can't afford should-be-rulebreaking things like Raiku Email around here, the HRFWiki, or anywhere. Wikis don't come cheap these days. 12:38, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

the economy cant handle more rulebreaking fanstuff

also everyone shut up about raiku his stuff is no worse than most of yours TheCheese 13:01, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

RE: 1.2

What if they are cut off, i.e. "What the f-" and "Holy sh-"? belstrnnmmvnmn 03:34, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

We can tell what they mean, so it's still technically cursing. Might I take this moment to tell you guys something? Whenever you star out any four letter word, the conclusion the mind automatically assumes is the f word, even if the starred out word is the s word. So, leave the first letter when you star out the word. — ChwokaTalk

oh hey i just realized something

we can say s***head on the hrfwiki when and if it comes back up

they said it in a dvd commentary for a sbemail belstrnnmmvnmn 21:11, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

I just use alternatives. Like Wibble for the F word, and Smeg for the S word. Lex 21:13, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

What if the entire thing is bleeped out. I myself, am not going to type such word on here, but I thought I might put up a funny Youtube video my brother showed me. Meme3 04:58, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

1.8

Rule 1.8 seriously needs to be beefed up for those who don't understand the memes we have here. When I first enetered the wiki, I took it to mean "Do not revert the wars". That's what happens when you leave out verbs, but then again, I accidenty the fanstuff guidelines. --Homfrogtalkribs 23:51, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, there's no point in having this.

I mean seriously, what's the smeggin' point of having rules if we're not even gonna smeggin' follow them? I really think we should enforce these rules more. Lex 13:07, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Long fictions are always better TheCheesegayNachoTalk 19:18, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

I really think that 1.2 needs rewording.

Because I don't think anybody can tell exactly what the hell's allowed on this wiki. Honestly, I think that 1.2 basically means "Anything that's acceptable on Futurama or Family Guy", but that's probably wrong. belstrnnmmvnmn 01:28, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

This has been said a few times now but it gets to a stage where if the rule was any more specific it would be too restrictive. Besides, context is everything and that isn't something that can be easily covered in a rule. - Super Sam 15:20, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Okay, wait, does that mean I'm right in saying that the closest thing to explaining what the rule means is "Anything acceptable on Futurama or Family Guy is allowed"? belstrnnmmvnmn 22:49, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Yes. And no. - Super Sam 02:16, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

RULE DISCUSSION THING I

or something

so uh

what rules do we need

what ones are total crap

and why am I so cool Brerose 21:44, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

1.1 needs a revision, we don't need 1.2 or 1.3, 1.6 is garbage, 1.9 is absolutely necessary They call me Big T BLOOD 22:03, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

how is 1.9 necessary?

1.5 is slightly meh but I'd say we keep it so we don't have random pages everywhere

1.7 could probably use a revision and 1.4 is necessary

I still don't understand 1.10

the 2 and 3 sections are useless in my opinion but if someone can explain how they're useful then I'll listen Brerose 22:20, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

1.9 prevents the absolute most annoying thing possible on the wiki

and without section 2 people could make signatures that consume entire pages They call me Big T BLOOD 22:22, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

then maybe just a revision to section 2

1.9 is lame but you have a point Brerose 22:26, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

remolay
isn't that

just pointless then

and what about 1.3 that rule was useless in the long run Brerose 00:14, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

I'd call it a safety measure, plus I love Magic The Gathering's "Don't Follow This Rule" rule.

On 1.3, The Transcription Standards don't actually exist, but why get rid of a rule we actually all follow anyway? talk 00:20, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

Because if we ever get the user block down then we have a rule that would confuse the shit out of everyone

also safety measures are useless Sam basically gave us the wiki the rules are ours not his

except, worship him

yeah do that Brerose 00:24, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

Given that, we might not need 1.2, but I haven't re-deleted it. I will not put up a fuss if it is. I've modified 1.3 to be worded better (Read less confusing to new users if that ever happens again), but I honestly believe it is necessary.
