Voting Removal

- If an article goes under a 0 rating then it will be removed by a staff member

- Votes from the author, non-members, and ingenuine votes do not count toward this total

- When an article is posted there is a 24 hour grace period to allow for people to read and properly vote on the article

- If the article goes under a 0 rating during this time the 24-hour deletion period will not begin.

- Once an article is found to be ready for deletion there will be a 24-hour waiting before action is taken

- If the article in question loses its -1 or below rating before it's deleted it will not be deleted

- Once the 24-hour waiting period has ended the article will be promptly removed

- If the author requests to rewrite the article they will be granted permission

- If the author requests to delete the article entirely they will be granted permission

- Before any rewrites can take place on the article, permission from the original author(s) must be obtained

- The original author must be notified of article deletion before the waiting period begins

- If the author is unable to be notified then staff will archive and remove the article.

Rule Removal

- If an article is found to violate site rules it will be removed immediately without the 24-hour waiting period

- The original author has the right to contest any removal they feel is unjust. It will be discussed with staff to come to a conclusion in whether the article is reinstated or still removed
