Guess I'll go ahead and draw up a rough draft based on whats already been discussed and the current standards for the chat and requirements to appoint Chat Mods, that way it's clear what we're working off of.

For rules we have:


 * Undefined Rules: Just because something is not listed here does not necessarily mean that thing is allowed. Forum mods/Admins reserve the right to ban a user who does an act that is clearly wrong or disruptive but is not specifically listed as against the rules.
 * Derogatory Language: There is to be no use of words that could be taken in a derogatory fashion. If you need specifics about what words this would include, simply ask any Forum Moderator or Admin on their wall and a basic list will be provided.
 * Sock Puppeting: Sockpuppeting, or the use of an alternate account, usually to circumvent a ban, is never allowed. If an alternate account is used to circumvent a ban, that account will be banned infinitely and the duration of your current ban will be extended.
 * Links: Linking is allowed for any appropriate content. Prohibited content includes but is not limited to: Shock sites, jump scare videos(must first warn all others), pornographic content, NSFW images, piracy sites, and any other sites that in any way are linked to illegal content. It is also requested that users do not use bit.ly as it hides the site the link leads to.
 * Spam: Spamming links, words, symbols, or anything else will result in the user being banned after repeated offenses. Spam is annoying and very much frowned upon.
 * Behavior: All users should behave in a civil manner. Arguments are allowed in on the wiki as long as they are done so in a civil manner. Any arguments that stoop to uncivil manners will be stopped by a chat mod or admin. Users should act mature whilst posting on the site, as this is supposed to be a mature environment. A little immaturity now and then never hurt anyone, but constantly acting immature is disallowed.
 * Bullying/Harassment: This wiki has a zero tolerance policy on bullying. Bullying is considered the targeting of someone and speaking to them in a derogatory way due to their nationality, gender, sexual orientation, religion, interests, sociological factors (spelling, grammar, intellect, etc), psychological state (mental illnesses) or physical appearance. The act of threatening another user is also a serious offense and will be considered a severe act of harassment. "Teasing" someone is fine, but should they become upset then the teasing should stop.


 * Adhere to all Policies: Policies are the guidelines by which we edit and conduct ourselves on the wiki and should be adhered to at all times.

Continuing with the trend of borrowing from the chat guidelines i'll also post an idea of how to appoint Forum Moderators, guidelines that Forum Moderators must abide by, and what the position will require of them.


 * A user must be nominated by a current Forum Moderator, Administrator, or Bureaucrat on the Forum under the Wiki Discussion Board. The community will discuss and a poll will be made to see how the community feels about that user or group of users being promoted to Forum Moderator.
 * Forum Moderators must: be able to settle disputes, be unbiased in all decisions they make and be welcoming to all new members of wiki.
 * Forum Moderators are responsible for upholding the wiki wide Code of Conduct. They are allowed to ban users, should their actions violate the CoC. If you feel your ban was unjustified, please bring it up with an Administrator or Bureaucrat.
 * Forum Moderators found to be abusing their power will be subjected to revoking of their Forum Moderator privileges.
