Men of War - Wiki:Standardisation of Files

This page is purely speculation and is not in effect, nothing that you read here has any affect on what you upload, yet.

This page is only about the standardisation of files in genral.For a specific version about the standardisation of image files see: Men of War - Wiki:Standardisation of ImagesFor help about images and files see: Help:Images and Files

Recently our upload limit was increased from 5mb to 100mb, this means that we can upload alot more files than we used to. However, 100mb is still a limited amount so therefore we need to make sure that every file uploaded is: Relevant, Detailed, Legal, Free from viruses and properly documented and named. The administrators will check all files that are uploaded to make sure they are within the MOW Wiki Rules but it would be helpful if everyone who uploads a file makes sure that they fit into the requirements laid out below so the attention of the administrators isn’t constantly drawn to file uploads. If you constantly upload files which violate these rules then you will be punished according to the severity.

Summary
All files uploaded:
 * MUST NOT infringe on copyright law.
 * MUST be either created by you, or uploaded with the permission of the author.
 * MUST NOT contain any type of virus, malware, spyware, adware or any other form of malicious software.
 * MUST be correctly documented with the name of the author, description and relevant name of file.
 * MUST be relevant to the Men of War wiki.
 * MUST not contain any offensive material.

Any one found violating these rules will receive up to three written warnings, when they are used up your uploading privileges will be suspend for up to 2 weeks.

Viruses, Spy-ware, Ad-ware and Mal-ware
If you are caught deliberately uploading any malicious software (Viruses, spy-ware etc), then your user will be banned from this wiki and your IP address blocked. We cannot stress how important it is for this wiki to stay safe and legal so only upload a file if you know for certain that it doesn’t contain viruses. Please scan with anti-viral software any file that you wish to upload and if you are in doubt as to whether it is virus/spyware free then DON'T upload it.

Copyright Law
It is also imperative to keep the Men of War Wiki legal. Please only upload files which you know for sure that you have copy-right permission, or if you know that the image is in the open domain. Breach of this will result in your user being banned and IP address blocked. Of course it is possible to accidentally upload a copyrighted file so you will be allowed to make your case if you are caught.

Offensive Material
If you deliberately upload offensive, abusive, explicit or illegal material (eg. pornography, animal/human abuse) or any other offensive material then your user will be banned and IP address blocked.
