2. Copyright Violations
By using services provided by WikiForge, you agree not to host any content without explicit permission from the copyright holder or any other legal entitlement to use the content. This applies to both private and public Wikis.

In the event of unauthorized copyrighted material being found, you may report the contents to us via staff@undefinedwikiforge.net. We strive to comply with the provisions outlined in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) of the United States, which addresses copyright infringement on the internet. As the enforcement action and liability generally lie with the copyright holder under Section 512 of the DMCA, we hold no obligation to act on copyright requests unless requested by the copyright holder. WikiForge will act on complaints if it determines an unreasonable or unacceptable delay in handling non-legal requests to protect creative rights.

We encourage all users to respect intellectual property rights and ensure that any content uploaded to WikiForge complies with copyright laws. If you believe your copyrighted material has been used inappropriately on WikiForge, please provide us with the necessary information to process your complaint, including:


 * 1) A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
 * 2) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
 * 3) Sufficient information to locate the infringing material on WikiForge.
 * 4) Contact information of the copyright owner or authorized representative.
 * 5) A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
 * 6) A statement that the information provided in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Upon receipt of a valid copyright infringement notification, we will promptly investigate the matter and take appropriate actions, which may include removing or disabling access to the infringing material. We may also notify the user who posted the allegedly infringing material and provide them with an opportunity to respond.

By using WikiForge, you acknowledge and agree to comply with the DMCA and respect the intellectual property rights of others. Any repeated infringement of copyright may result in the termination of a user's account and all associated services without refund or other appropriate legal actions.

9. Content
Under no circumstances are you permitted to submit information to WikiForge that is illegal to display, distribute, or disseminate in the United States. In addition to this, WikiForge does not host:

9.1 Wikis which spread unsubstantiated insult, hate or rumours against a person or group of people.
Content on wikis must be fairly balanced, meaningful or substantiated by independent referencing. Wikis which have a clearly identifiable comedic or satire value are exempt from needing to substantiate claims as these provide a meaningful value in terms of relevant content. Exceptions for comedy/satire do not cover derogatory language based on factors such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, age, disability, or other marginalised groups.

9.2 Wikis where the community has developed in such a way as to be characterised as toxic.
This may include wikis where there have been repeated personal attacks, harassment of users, 'doxing', hate speech and where local administrators have ignored, enabled, and/or done little to stop this.

9.3 Wikis of a sexual nature which involve minors in any way.
Whether content is of a sexual nature and whether it involves minors will be determined by reference to all the circumstances and descriptions. Content includes written content, real images and animated or fictional images. Where a wiki's scope as a whole is not of a sexual nature which involves minors, references and discussions about outside content are permitted as long as they are legal under United States law. Wikis which focus on fetishes that are sexual in nature which involves minors are not allowed. This includes written, real images and animated/fictional material.

9.4 Wikis that promote violence, hatred, or harassment against a person or group of people.
This include wikis which promote violence or hatred against people or groups of people based on factors such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, age, disability, or other marginalised groups.

Derogatory language based on these factors is not allowed except when relevant to documenting an event, e.g. controversy about the inclusion of derogatory terms in a book.

9.5 Wikis with the sole purpose of deceiving, defrauding, or misleading people.
Wikis which wilfully engage in deceiving, defrauding, or misleading people are prohibited. Wikis are prohibited from engaging in disinformation, misrepresenting information purposefully to deceive and defraud, or from concealing their origin in order to mislead users on their intentions. Wikis may not engage in impersonating any person or organisation. Misleading claims on health which have the potential to cause serious harm to people or public health are prohibited. This is not an exhaustive list of practices deemed deceptive but helps illustrate what sorts of behaviours are. Wikis which make it clear that their intention is not to deceive (which may include fantasy world, role-playing, etc.) would not fall into a violation of this policy.

9.6 WikiForge additionally reserves the right to terminate services for wikis which make it difficult for other wikis.
Things which have a tendency to draw unwelcome attention to WikiForge, such as hate speech, routine denial of service attacks, excessively violent content, references to self-harm, or places in which illegal activity is discussed can create conditions that penalise other wikis, either in SEO, domain blacklisting, downtime, trust in WikiForge, or excessive Staff time usage, especially in terms of policing content.

10. Global Conduct
The following conduct is prohibited:

10.1 Harassment
Harassment of other users is unacceptable. In order for something to fall under this section, it usually requires a pattern of behavior rather than a single instance or event, but in some instances a single instance may be enough. Harassment defined in this policy includes those set forth below, but are not limited to Personal attacks, violence, threats of violence, or deliberate intimidation. Offensive, derogatory, or discriminatory comments.
 * Gratuitous or off-topic use of sexual language or imagery.
 * Inappropriate or unwanted public or private communication, following, or any form of stalking.
 * Disclosure or threatening to disclose a person's identity or other private information without their consent. Disclosure of some identifying information is not consent to disclose other identifying information.
 * Inappropriate or unwanted publication of private communications. Publishing or reporting private communication or personally identifying information for the purposes of reporting harassment (as explained here) is acceptable.
 * Discrimination, particularly against marginalized and otherwise underrepresented groups. Targeted outreach to such groups is allowed and encouraged.
 * Reporting users for purposes other than reporting genuine violations of global policies (e.g., retaliating against a reporter or victim by filing a report claiming their response was harassment).
 * Repeated failures by wiki administration to handle harassment appropriately despite proper warnings by Staff may lead to intervention.

10.2 Hate speech
Hate speech is not allowed. Examples include but are not limited to using racist, homophobic or other derogatory language towards a person or group of people.

10.3 Personal threats
Personal threats are not allowed. Examples include but are not limited to death threats, threats of injury, threats of violence. This also may include threats that are below the legal threashold.

Wiki contacts are responsible for upholding the Terms and Conditions of Service and ensuring that the content hosted on their wikis adheres to the guidelines outlined in Section 9 and Section 10. In the event of extenuating circumstances or repeated or serious violations of the Terms and Conditions of Service, WikiForge staff may step in to enforce compliance and take necessary actions, including content removal, wiki deletion, service termination, or other measures deemed appropriate.

Failure to comply with the Terms and Conditions of Service, including the hosting of prohibited content or the creation of a toxic community, may result in the termination of services for the affected wiki(s) and may also lead to additional actions as determined by WikiForge.
