No personal attacks on other users
This is kind of obvious: directly insulting another user. Talk about someone behind their back all you want, but someone will most likely inform them.
 * No racial slurs of any kind. This is a Medium offence.
 * No making fun of deceased relatives, friends or anyone else who has passed on or is otherwise no longer part of a person's life. This is a Heavy offence in most cases, though may qualify as an Extreme offence if it is particularly bad.

Do not anger or disrespect the admins
This rule is similar to the above, but noticeably more important. Admins are users that not only have power and authority, but are responsible for keeping the wiki up and running as well as preventing it from collapsing into dystopia. So do them a favor just as they do you one as well. Getting into trouble with one will make it more likely for you to warrant a block for an often medium but potentially heavy or extreme offense.

In case of a situation where an admin is in the wrong and/or seems to become a little too abusive of their own power, do inform them in a polite way and don't be a smartass. Additionally, do not act like you decide or know what's abuse and what's not, if you get kicked unexpectedly by an admin in a bad mood, you probably deserved it and you may have had been the one to provoke that admin.

I'm questioning this rule because after a disagreement with one admin (the only one online at the time) this rule was made (about an hour later) and then the admin logs on to chat, kicks them both, and blocks one from the wiki for a week and the other for three months. (Which in my opinion is excessively ovverreacting. Maybe a few hours of chat ban would be appropriate but this was a very small scale thing.)

are admins allowed to turn a well-established wiki into a dictatorship like this???
