- 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
