Rules

Global Community Rules
1. This wikia is dedicated to the Monster Girl Encyclopedia series. This means that pictures that display characters not found in or able to be attributed to the MGE universe will be removed. (Note: This rule only applies to pictures added to the galleries on profile pages. Pictures uploaded for use in user profiles, user blogs, or forums posts are exempt from this rule.)

2. Topics of discussion on this Wiki should be about monster girls, roleplay, and any other information from or pertaining to the Monster Girl Encyclopedia series. Any talk that falls outside this range will be considering spam and the offending posts will be removed.

3A. Any new pages added to this Wikia must fall under one of five categories: Mamano (Monster Girls), Books, Settings, Fan Fiction/Images, or Roleplay. Pages that do not fit into one of these four categories will be revised or deleted.

3B. Fan based work must remain off the main wikispace. Please add them to your own profile as a blog. Once you have created your blog, add the Fan Fiction category. Other relevant categories and instructions for adding them are on the Fan Fiction page. Please read the instructions, making sure to add the correct category to your blog.

4. Any new images/videos uploaded to this Wikia must be, in some form, relevant to the topic at hand. Memes and other off-topic images/videos will be removed. Continuing to post  images/videos  that do not follow our guideline will result in the user responsible receiving a warning and/or disciplinary action. Images/videos  uploaded with the intent of using them in your user profiles and/or RP threads are exempt from this rule (Max. of 20).

5. Any image content posted to this wiki must meet the art standard as determined by MGE wiki staff (Admin: Mnzombie, Admin: Jekkers, and Admin: Mauller). All new pieces added to this wiki will be reviewed by a staff member. Any piece that does not meet our quality standard will be removed and the user who uploaded the piece will be informed. Users are free to post any quality content they wish on their personal User pages.

6. At this time, gender bending art (i.e. Art that depicts a known female monster girl as a male monster boy) is allowed and should be posted under it's relevant article with a proper caption identifying it as gender bender artwork.

7. Due to recent issues with anonymous and registered users spamming, links and posted URLs to external sites that are not pre-approved will be removed and the poster warned. Pre-approved sites include: DeviantArt, Pixiv, Danbooru, Gelbooru, Imgur, HNNG, Moe~, Pomf.se, PasteBin, Twitter, Safebooru, FanFiction.net, and all the sites linked under the "Official Links" section on the front page.

8. Respect your fellow Wikia members. Almost every user here has a different idea of what the MGE universe is like and how the characters interact with each other. We encourage you to share your ideas with the community but at the same time, we demand that you respect your fellow users. Harassment and bullying will not tolerated and will lead to an immediate life ban for the party responsible.

9. All roleplay should take place in the following RP areas: the forums, Live Chat (Explicit roleplay must be in PMs otherwise anyone is free to use the main channel), and user Blog posts. Roleplay found on monster profiles will be removed and the party responsible will be warned. "What do you do?" type posts are acceptable as long as the original scenario and ensuing replies are within the size limit (One paragraph; 5-6 medium sentences. Around 1,000 kB).

10. RP or fanfiction involving violence against monster girls is strictly supervised. In accordance with the wishes of the author, any "malicious" (Unnecessarily violent, over expressive in explicit details, etc.) content will be removed and the party responsible will be warned. Note: Violence within a story is acceptable but, be as conservative as possible with the details.

11. The structure of discipline for users who violate our rules will follow the '3 Strikes' law. A user who breaks one of the rules and is first issued a verbal warning. If the user continues to violate the rules, disciplinary action will be taken towards the party responsible. The structure is as follows: First Offense: Verbal Warning ​Second Offense: 3 day suspension ​​Third Offense: 7 day suspension ​Fourth Offense: Permanent suspension

12. Regardless of the number of past rule violations, any user who attempts to subvert his suspension will receive a permanent ban.

13. Any attempts to coerce (threaten) another user or staff member will be met with an instant, permanent ban.

Live Chat Rules
1. The MGE franchise is one of adult content and as a result, we expect any members utilizing the site or Live Chat to be at least 18 years of age. Anyone under 18 years of age will be suspended indefinitely and without prior warning.

2. Respect for your fellow chatters, OOC. This one should be self-evident, but unfortunately it isn't always followed. Respect being the rather loose term that it is, we will define it as follows:


 * (a) All users, regardless of their current status IC or OOC are expected to behave in a civil manner. Any user/s who launch verbal attacks on another user will be subject to discipline.


 * <font size="3.5">Example: User A does not like User B and calls him a 'dick' in Live Chat. This is User A's first offense so he receives a warning for his actions.


 * <font size="3.5">(b) Conflicts within Roleplay are expected to arise and all users involved are expected to handle them in a civil manner. Regardless of the nature of the original conflict, any user/s who engage in uncouth behavior will be disciplined.


 * <font size="3.5">Example: User A is roleplaying with User B when he (A) decides to forcibly kill User B. User B attempts to discuss his problem with User A but is only met with verbal attacks. In a fit of frustration, User B returns the vitriol. User A is suspended for 3 days as this is his second violation and User B is warned as this is his first.


 * <font size="3.5">(c) If you come across an active role play session and wish to join, confirm OOC'ly with participating members and work yourself in with respects to the current storyline. If you are rejected after attempting to join, do not forcibly inject yourself into their role play session. This causes disturbances in their story, is annoying, and can constitute harassment.


 * <font size="3.5">Example: User A wants to roleplay with User B and User C. User B and C both say no and attempt to continue roleplaying. User A tries to force himself into their story several times and continues to cause a general disturbance. User A is suspended for 7 days as this is his third offence.


 * <font size="3.5">(d) Posting links to external websites is acceptable as long as it's not taken to the extreme. If external links begin to interfere with the regular workings of chat (Users role playing, chatting, etc.) then the offending user will be warned. If the behavior continues, the user will be disciplined.


 * <font size="3.5">(e) If another user posts material you find offensive then you may ask them to not post similar material again. If you have already asked the user to discontinue posting and he has ignored your request, you may file a complaint with an admin or chat moderator.


 * <font size="3.5">Example: User A makes a post that User B finds offensive and in violation of rule 2. User B confronts User A and asks that he refrain from posting more offensive material. User A responds to User B rudely and continues to post offensive material. User A is banned permanently as this was his fourth and final offence.


 * <font size="3.5">(f) ANY links to explicit/NSFW (Not safe for work) content (Images, text stories, etc.) must be labeled with a "((NSFW))" blurb in the message containing the link. Posting the NSFW notice before or after the link is submitted is not within the acceptable boundaries of this rule. Any user who fails to tag links appropriately will be subject to disciplinary action. (A large number of users access our community from their workplace and/or school and if they accidently open explicit content, it could land them in a lot of trouble. Be considerate of everyone's real life situation.)

<font size="3.5">3. Live chat is for use in both role play and casual conversation. Due to that fact that many conversations are often happening at once, the following guideline has been established:


 * <font size="3.5">(a) Upon entering the chat, you may find that several people are involved in roleplay. If you wish to carry on a casual conversation with another user amidst the sword fighting and spellcasting, it's recommended that you ((double bracket all OOC text)). Not doing so will not result in disciplinary action but confusion is very likely to set in quickly.


 * <font size="3.5">(b) The opposite of the above applies i.e. you enter chat and find that several users are engaged in a casual conversation. Respect the fact that they were engaged in their conversation before you arrived and do not expect them to alter their activity for the sake of your roleplay.


 * <font size="3.5">(c) There is no minimum number of participants required for RP in the chat room. Any number of users (Including one) may participate in roleplay.

<font size="3.5">4. RP of an explicit nature must be done in the form of private messages between two users. This includes any detailed sexual acts and heavy violence. Any user who continues to roleplay explicit material in the main chat will be disciplined.


 * <font size="3.5">Example: User B is in a roleplay fight with User C and has stripped him of his weapon, forcing User C onto the ground and into a defenseless position. User B wants to use his weapon to enact violent and bloody revenge on User C but decides to move the next few lines of roleplay into a private chat session with User C so as to avoid disciplinary action.

<font size="3.5">5. Admins and chat mods can't be around 24/7 to monitor the situation. If you see anyone violating any of the above rules, it is your duty as a responsible member of our community to take screenshots and report them. It is important to take screenshots of the incident as without them, Admins and mods will have no evidence outside of witness testimonies to pursue disciplinary action. Be sure to save the screenshots and any other material you ascertain so that they can be made available in the event that a staff member requests a copy. (If you need instructions on how to capture screen images and save them, please click here.)
