User blog:EternalMagma/These rules rule! (maybe)

Okay, as you know, we're not doing great for rules...

As Austin puts it: "Our rules suck."

A little overt but you get the point. It's confusing, in my opinion. So, since I love making rules (lol) I'm going to pitch my idea of new rules. Here's the rules I came up with.

These rules are made to keep our wiki safe and to make sure no one has to get blocked. Everyone must follow these, including rollbacks, sysops and bureaucrats.

"Do"s

 * Stay lighthearted. Keep in mind CP is a fun-living place. Seriousness is tolerated, but it's good to not leave anyone sad.
 * Be helpful! To keep this wiki working we have to work together.
 * Stay constructive. If you want to share your opinion on a user, article, idea or anything else, make sure you add ways to improve it or him/herself, along with a reason for the critisism.
 * Stay within continuity. Make sure you research before making articles, or it could get deleted. This is called OOC. See more further down the page.
 * Have fun!

"Don't"s

 * Be annoying. Basically, if there's a problem, solve it professionally and personally. If we don't work together, we don't work!
 * Once again, CP is lighthearted, and also for kids. Make sure you stay in line with suitable content, and remember the limit is PG. This means no swearing, no sexual references, no alchoholic references or drug references.
 * Be nice! Wikis such as the Club Penguin Wiki are our friends. Like I said before, constructive critisism is better than just critisism.

OOC
OOC stands for Out Of Character, whereas the user would take a character and change their personality or any other important and relivant information to work with the specific article or story. This can be avoided by changing information by researching the article before-hand.

Questions
Any questions or instructions can be answered at the talk page.

Of course, there will be more rules to add. This are the first and most important ones I could think of.

Thanks, and remember, this is just my idea.
