Possible Bureaucrat and Admin status abuses include, but are not limited to: If a Bureaucrat or Admin is determined to be abusing their powers, he/she must formally apologize to the user and in some cases, will be asked to step down from their status.

 * 2. Speculation - Speculation is to be kept to a bare minimum, all cases of speculation are to be labelled as such using the speculation template. Speculation must be moved to the forums or blog posts.


 * 3. Spoilers - Edits involving new content are not permitted until that information is available to the public through legal means. For new episode content this is once the episode is viewable for Registered users on the Rooster Teeth website. For more information about spoilers, see the Spoiler policies.


 * 4. Renaming - If the user wishes to rename an article in other cases than a typo, the user must inform a Bureaucrat or Admin, stating the reason why it should be renamed. Renaming an unofficial article is to be discussed and agreed upon by staff majority.


 * 5. References - If information is revealed on the via sources other then the show itself (e.g. A Rooster Teeth Staff's Twitter account), please add a reference tag to the source location.

Tips and Guidelines

 * Editing Courtesy - When making an edit please try to leave a note in the top right box detailing what you changed and why, this helps staff to double check new edits and makes the page history easier to browse.
 * New pages - If making a new page please refer to others of its type for the layout, the best way would be copying the other page over and replacing its content. If no pages of its type (or similar to it) exist, contact a staff member for advice.
