This page is intended for people who edit pages. If you don't (although we warmly welcome you to) then you may ignore this page.Although this page is titled "rules", the following are only strong recommendations.

- Multiple accounts are discouraged.
- If you use sock-puppet accounts to bypass active bans, you will get permanently banned, as well as all located sock puppets.
- Proxy servers are practically allowed, as we usually don't bother, but we reserve us the right to block them for fighting vandalism. Yes, this means you can't rely on them.
