The half-wiki, half-chat room about the wacky antics on the Big Nate Comments Section on GoComics. This wiki is where we keep a record of everything interesting that's happened on the comment section! We also have a variety of stories, games, and more! See all the pages on the wiki here.

See all the pages on the wiki here.
We currently have 151,253 edits on 1,078 articles.
These are the official rules of the Big Nate Comments Section Wiki. t=This is more of a laid-back wiki. Most times, an extremely minor infraction will be ignored; It's simply not worth the admins' time.
WARNING: WE MAY MAKE CHANGES TO THIS AT ANY GIVEN TIME.
Do not express greed for staff ranks
Users' greed for moderator or admin is so annoying, many users feel compelled to leave because of this.
With this rule, you will get three warnings for this rule, if you commit this offense more than three times, you will be blocked for two days.
If you have multiple accounts, only one of them will be allowed to have a staff rank.
You don't need to be a staff if you have another account who is staff. If you do break this rule, both your main and alt account will be demoted from their positions and will be both blocked for one week.
Do not copy other people's work without their permission or crediting them
Just don't plagiarize other people's work. That's not very nice.
Do not harass or insult other users
This should definitely go without saying, but even though this is an online service, there are people with real people feelings behind those user profiles.
Unlike real life conversation, you can actually take your time to think about what you say on a wiki without looking weird, so it's really easy not to mess up.
Try not to spam
Just try not to put in words on pages or categories that just make no sense, unless it's a thing that many users are participating in. The admins will be the judges of that.
Making text that's too big will also count as spam.
Use the right capitalization when adding categories
Either the first word of the category starts with a capital, or all of them, so "Wiki Page" and "Wiki page" are acceptable, but "wiki Page", "Wiki PAge", "WIKI PAGE", and "wiki page" aren't.
An article can be biased if the title contains “In the perspective of...”
There is nothing wrong with having opinions. However, if you don't say whether you're expressing your opinion, someone might take your words the wrong way.
No use of vulgar words and/or explicit media
On top of every single community having this rule, it goes without saying that this wiki will not harbor inappropriate content.
The wiki is sort of a PG-PG13 wiki. It has been this way for a while, and the admins are kind of laid back around content. Swearing may be or not be fine depending on the situation
If you have a different opinion than someone, respect it and do not try to change it
A person having their own opinion is perfectly normal, and multiple people having differing opinions is also perfectly normal.
However, trying to forcefully change someone's opinion is a terrible idea, because even if you may be right, you could trigger a mental mechanic in the other person's brain that makes them believe their own opinion even more.
This is called the "Backfire Effect", and you should never use it on someone who doesn't agree with you. You are never going to change their opinion, and if you start a fight over it, both of you will walk away extremely agitated, while you accomplish nothing.
Try not to accuse or report other people without tangible proof
Reporting is the best way to handle users who break the wiki rules, but even if you know that the user broke the rules, without any proof, the admins may believe that the other user broke the rules, they may think that the other user broke the rules, but they have to know that the user broke the rules in order to enforce a block; and without proof, that's simply not possible.
But you can question the person you want to accuse if there is motive for suspiscion. If there is at least motive, the plaintiff won't get punished no matter what.
Low effort pages will be removed or turned into blog posts
The Big Nate COMMENTS wiki is more of a fun and games wiki unlike other wikis which are information wikis meaning that there are quite a bit of useless pages here on the wiki that do nothing but take up space. So if you have an announcement or anything just use the blog post button or discussions page. Although there can be some exceptions to what defines a "Low Effort Page".
Not only that, but these pages are very easy to farm to gain edits and badges.
Do not create dummy accounts or accounts that impersonate others
Dummy accounts is just a way of trolling, and if you act like a jerk with your dummy account, the user you're impersonating will feel extremely violated, because that is just humiliating for them.
It's also a huge inconvenience for users who have to keep checking profiles to see who they're talking to.
Do not edit other's profile pages without their permission
Profiles are pages for users to tell a little bit about themselves, which makes it a personal page, not a public one.
Warning or Block Repeal
If you were blocked or given a warning, and you feel that the staff member who did so is being unfair to you, you can try to repeal this action by taking these two simple steps, though this is a moderate risk, and you could end up being banned even longer. However, if you have a strong case, you just might win.
Step 1: Talk to the staff member who banned you
Try and tell them how you feel about their decision, why you think it's unfair, and preferrably give a couple of reasons why you think your actions didn't warrant a warning or block.
If you're fortunate enough, you may or may not have your block shortened or even revoked. If you initially had a warning, you will have that revoked if your case wins.
Step 2: Let other staff members know what's happening.
If the staff member is still not convinced that you deserve compensation, let other staff members review your block; preferably ones of a higher rank than the blocking staff member.
Staff Ranks
Bureaucrat
Administrator
Any Type of Moderator
If you're fortunate enough, you may or may not have your block shortened or even revoked by other staff members. If you won a case against a warning, that will be repealed instead.
Step 3: Accept the consquences
If the staff members still consider the block or warning as necessary and good-willed, please do not pursue the subject any further.
If you keep pestering the staff members about repeal even after all that was said and done, you could be blocked even longer.
Reporting
These are rules on how you should take action on any rule breakers you see.
If you see someone who has copied your work
It is very important that you report this to an administrator of the wiki, because only they can approve your claim.
Unlike YouTube, the admins are smart enough to not assume every claim is correct, so if a false claim is filed, trying to gain rights to your work, the person who wants your content does not get to decide whether they actually own your content.
If you see anyone break literally any other rule
The wiki strongly recommends that you report it to an admin or a moderator immediately. However, if you see fit, you may confront the wrongdoer.
However, if an argument ensues and it goes on for quite a bit, please save yourself some precious time and report it to the admins.
Rollbacks
None
Rollbacks are here to help! They have special powers depending on what type of mod they are, but they are all here to make sure that vandalism is controlled.
Discussions Moderators can edit, and delete thread comments and replies, and page comments, while Chat Moderators can edit and delete replies in Chat, as well as ban anyone from joining the chat.
Content Moderators
Content Moderators can protect pages from vandalism and delete any not needed pages. They can also turn pages that should be blog posts into blog posts.
Admins oversee the growth of the wiki, have access to the the wiki interface, and can block and implement certain user rights. Admins can access CSS coding as well. If voting for a topic goes down, admins can interfere and stop this if needed. Admins are also Rollbacks.
Bureaucrats manage user rights, which gives them an all-powerful tool that should only be welded by the most trusted hands. Bureaucrats are also Administrators and Rollbacks.
