Help:Harassment and bullying

We want Fandom to be a safe place for everyone, but sometimes, someone misbehaves and starts to harass or bully others. If you see this or feel you are being harassed or bullied, then let an admin know. If that doesn't help, you can also contact Fandom for help.

Harassment and bullying on Fandom means that someone is:
 * Making repeated nasty, unwanted comments, wall messages, discussions, etc.
 * Following an admin to other communities to continue an unwanted conversation, for example, after being blocked from the community the blocker is an admin on (one wall message on Community Central is allowed).
 * Revealing someone else's personal information (phone number, real name, face, school, workplace, home address, IP address, etc.) without their permission. This can include information that is public on other sites such as Facebook.
 * Deliberately and repeatedly posting content in order to annoy or intimidate another person.
 * Repeatedly contacting someone who has asked you to stop.
 * Using hate speech.
 * Making unwanted sexual advances or comments. This form is known as sexual harassment.

Tips and advice

 * Stop engaging with the user you believe is harassing you, and report the harassment to us using this form.
 * Do not retaliate against or reply to the person or people.
 * Do not attempt to get other users involved in the situation.
 * Tell a local admin that a user is harassing you, and ask them to block the user. You should give them links to the thread where the user is harassing you; that will be a good form of evidence.
 * Respect that one person's opinion may differ from yours. Disagreements are not in themselves harassment.
 * Understand that being told "no" by an admin or community or being blocked from a community is not harassment.
 * If you are a teen and feel your personal safety is at risk, speak to a nearby adult whom you trust, or if this is not an option for you, consider contacting your local law enforcement.
