Star Wars Fanon:Blog policy

The Star Wars Fanon blog policy is an official policy on the Star Wars Fanon Wiki that dictates what a user is and is not allowed to do when utilizing the Wikia blog feature installed onto Star Wars Fanon. Major points of the policy include upholding all matters of civility, what the blog is allowed to be used for, and consequences for the violation of the policy.

Usage
Although use of the blog feature is allowed on Star Wars Fanon, there are only certain things that it can be allowed for. Users may utilize post behind the scenes entries for works such as fan fiction, fan films, fan video games or series of article in a continuity, describing any behind the scenes progress, inspiration or other element with their work. Along with this, users may write reviews about canon Star Wars products, may review the fanon work of other users, promote their own fan work, and write the occasional humorous content. Only the aforementioned examples may be used for blogs, as anything else is prohibited under the guidelines of this policy.

Civility
In accordance with Star Wars Fanon policies, civility is expected to be maintained in all blog postings, as well as avatars and comments. Users may not disrupt Star Wars Fanon to make a point or make personal attacks against users, and users must assume good faith and recognize what Star Wars Fanon is not.

Categorization
In accordance with the categorization policy, all blog postings must be categorized under Category:Blogs or a sub-category of it. In order to add a posting to the category, a user should place somewhere on the blog page. The blog posting will then automatically be added into the category.

Blog deletion
Should a blog posting violate any of these guidelines, it will be subject to deletion. There are two ways that a blog post may be deleted, based on the clearness of the infraction. If a blog post clearly violates a policy and an administrator has been given a second opinion on the matter, then said administrator may delete the blog without discussion. However, if the guideline infraction is not clear and the violation is subjective, then the blog must be voted for deletion on the deletion page. Should a blog posting be nominated for deletion, the same guidelines would apply in the deletion of an article.

User punishments
If a user violates this policy, there will be consequences just as there would be for any other policy. First, if there is an infraction, a user will be given a warning if it is their first offense. Should the problem persist and the user continues to violate the policy, then the blocking policy, related content and the civility policies will apply to the ban. Administrative discretion will decide the duration of any ban.
