Animagear Wiki:Policy/Privacy

It sometimes happens that an user registers an account which includes his real name. As well some users reveal their age or post information about their homes or other private things such as the mobile phone or credit card number. The generally dissuades from posting private information, since it can be misused by some people for stalking. However for many users it is interesting to find out about what their friends from this wiki are in real life. Nevertheless we ask everyone to only post private information on chat, in the best case even only within a private message. If an user misuses the private information to post it for people who shouldn't know it or even can use it for criminal intent like stalking, this behavior can lead to a block and if the user has been in trouble on other wikis before, the administration can even decide to report him to Wikia Staff to get him globally blocked. Also we prohibit asking other users about their personal data. Users who do so also risk to be blocked, locally and globally. If the user is a rollback, thread/chat mod or sysop his rights can be taken away. If he is a bureaucrat the other bureaucrats can decide whether he should be demoted and possibly start a vote to get him demoted by staff. We will take action in a way which is appropriate to the situation.
