Site policies are the rules and guidelines to keeping Skylines Wikia a safe and happy environment. Rules are set forth to make sure all users, administrators and everyone else, are being kind and positively contributing to this wiki. Breaking the rules may result in a temporary or indefinite block on your account.

Guidelines
These are the general guidelines. These guidelines are applied throughout the site, regardless if the description has a specific location.
 * Be kind to one another
 * Harassing or the act of attacking another user is not allowed. Respect everyone and anyone, regardless of good or bad. Remain in a positive manner and be mature. If you have problems with another user, please contact an active administrator.


 * Don't feed the trolls
 * Trolls are users who intentionally try to damage the wikia and draws for attention. By giving trolls attention, you are only feeding their intentions to continue damaging the wiki. Ignoring trolls may bore them and make them leave. Do not ever leave childish or immoral comments (such as "You are a bad user!"). If you spot a troll, please contact an active administrator immediately.


 * Avoid malicious intents
 * Spamming, vandalism, or the act of harming the wikia's productivity (for example, removing valid content or adding inappropriate content) is a penalty and will result in a block, depending on the severity of such action.


 * Never plagiarize
