Adopt Me! Wiki has its set of rules and guidelines for users to follow, in order to keep the wiki in a good shape and interactions between users. Disobeying the rules will result in discipline.

The [[Rules and Guidelines#Editing Guidelines|Editing Guidelines]] do not necessarily count as rules, as they are meant as guidelines on how to properly edit an article. However, repeatedly disobeying the [[Rules and Guidelines#Editing Guidelines|Editing Guidelines]] will lead to discipline, as they are disruptive.

All Fandom policies, specifically the [[homepage:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]] and [[w:c:Community:Fandom Community Guidelines|Community Guidelines]], apply to all Fandom wikis, meaning all users must follow them.

== We are '''not''' affiliated with DreamCraft ==
We ''do not'' have direct relations with NewFissy, Bethink, or any other developer. We are simply fans of their creation, ''Adopt Me!'', and just want to help other fans by documenting the game. We ''cannot'' add any ideas you have and fix any issues you have. Though the developers may occasionally appear on this wiki, their presence does not confirm affiliation.

== Punishment System ==
The moderators or administrators will ultimately choose what punishment is appropriate for a user if a user has committed a violation of the Rules and Guidelines.

=== Blocking System ===
The blocking system is implemented to establish productive, respectful, and safe environment for contributors while maintaining the quality of the wiki for both the wiki side and the [https://adoptme.fandom.com/f Discussions] side.

There are two types of blocks:
* Stackable blocks
* Standalone blocks

==== Stackable Block ====
'''Stackable Blocks''' are blocks that can be stacked based on the number of outstanding blocks a user holds. Stackable blocks only apply to minor policy violations, which only include 1-hour, 2-day, and 1-week blocks. An '''outstanding block''' is an existing 1-hour, 2-day, or 1-week block (warning or block) on a user's record, where it has not been a full 14 days since the end time of the block.

Example:
* Let's say a user has 2 outstanding blocks. The user has violated a minor policy by attempting to trade 19 or more items at once. The user will be issued a 2-day block and the number of outstanding blocks will increase by one.

==== Standalone Block ====
A standalone block is a 2-week, 1-month, or infinite block, where the user would violate a major policy. Any policies under these durations will only be given to the user for that duration, where there are no block stacking.

Example:
* The user has violated a major policy for cross-trading for in-game currency. A 2-week block will be issued to this user. This does not increment the count of outstanding blocks since it is a standalone block nor does it stack.
