Screamer Wiki:Rules

REMEMBER: Always follow the rules. If you violate any of the rules, you will get a warning. If you repeat two more times, you will be banned from the wiki. If you vandalize the wiki, you will be banned without any warning!

How to create/edit a page

1. Do not create unrelated or spam pages. Please use either the forum, the chat, or your user blog to communicate with other users.
2. Never use any scary images or clickable links directly to the website. You are allowed to use un-clickable links. 
3. Do not give any false information, but only facts. 
4. Use correct grammar and spelling, write in English. If this rule is violated, your account won't get banned.
5. The page name must always be the name of the screamer site, without www. or http://. 
6. Do not delete content on an existing page. 

Good practices

• Delete any scary images, videos or clickable links that go directly to the website and replace them with un-clickable links.
• If you see someone violating any of the rules, tell them by using this template and fix the page.
• If you see someone vandalizing the wiki, fix the page and contact an admin.
• If you see any grammatical or spelling mistakes, correct them.
• If you see any false information, correct it.

  • Websites - add this category if the screamer is a link or webpage that contains an instant jumpscare.
• Shock sites - add this category if the website contains disturbing images.
• Harmful websites - add this category if the website can damage your computer.

If your page does not fit into ANY of these categories please contact an admin or HLDK.
