Our Policies

This page contains several policies which only the Wiki admins have access to alter. However, the page itself can be discussed on the Forums.

General Policy About Policies
Justification The reason we formalize these policies is due to the great number of issues that lacking polcies tend to bring about. When people don't know what's expected of them, they tend to act in ways which are not beneficial. However, policies which are too strict also tend to bring about poor behavior because of our tendency as human beings to rebel.

Therefore, we will enact a policy about policies.

Policy About Policies
All policies of Gates of Eternity shall conform to three standards: Any policy which does not meet these three standards will be considered for removal.
 * 1) Simplicity: All policies will be worded in the most simple, vague, and yet directly obvious terms; and should not be considered oversimplified simply on the grounds that they might be brief.
 * 2) Fairness: All policies will apply to everyone: admins, wizstaff, staff, helpers, players and all users alike. If we can't live by a policy, we should not enact it.
 * 3) Enforceability: All policies will be enforceable. If we can't actually do anything about someone violating a policy, then enacting more policy isn't going to work. We have to be able to resolve problems, and so policies are there to guide people to a more enjoyable experience.
