Robot Wars Wiki:Content from Social Media

With the availability of information from Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, Robot Wars Wiki must be careful not to publish information inappropriately.


 * RULE #1: Information from Social Media can only be published to the Wiki in cases where it is considered Published Content.
 * Published Content includes:
 * Official releases from pages for specific robots. NOT personal accounts of roboteers, shared informally.
 * Information from personal accounts in answer to a question.
 * Correspondence between Wiki users and official pages or personal accounts where the Wiki user has identified themselves.
 * Non-published content includes comments made by roboteers from personal accounts shared informally. Robot Wars Wiki is not TMZ. Our job is to publish objective facts, not publish sections on articles about "conflict" where that conflict was Wiki users reading Facebook comments.
 * Comments from roboteers can be considered published content given the context. The more innocuous a piece of information is, the more likely we can consider it published.
 * If in doubt, ask an admin, or assume non-published content.


 * RULE #2 No uploading photos without permission - Roboteers frequently share content on social media. To prevent Robot Wars Wiki's name being tarnished, users must NOT upload photos shared without permission from the copyright holder (i.e. the creator of the photo).


 * PENALTIES - As breaches of this policy give Robot Wars Wiki a bad name, breaches of this policy will be very strict. If an admins feels that a user has acted in a way that tarnishes the Wiki's reputation, a ban may be issued without warning to distance the Wiki from the user's actions.
