LEGO Message Boards Wiki:FAQ

Since the LEGO Message Boards Wiki is managed independently from the LEGO Message Boards and there are major differences, here is a handy FAQ list for new users.

What is this Wiki?
The LEGO Message Boards Wiki is essentially an archive of information pertaining to the LEGO Message Boards. Anyone can edit its articles, provided they meet the Manual of Style. The Wiki is also a place for current and retired Message Boards users to socialise in, through chat, user's Message Walls, and the forums.

Who manages this Wiki?
The Wiki is managed by current and retired LEGO Message Boards members. The users responsible for managing the Wiki can be found here. The Message Boards moderators do not endorse this website.

Are there moderators?
Yes there are. They are the administrators, chat moderators, and discussion moderators. They can be easily identified in chat by their star.

Who should I contact if there is an issue?
You can contact an admin or discussion moderator on their Message Walls, or PM them in chat (click on their username on the right and select "Private Message").

What are the rules?
We have a General Policy that covers the whole Wiki, chat included, a Chat Policy, and a Personal Attack Policy. We recommend you read all policies thoroughly before taking part in the Wiki.

What happens if I break a rule?
If the offence happens outside of chat, you will be warned by either an admin or a discussion moderator from repeating it. If you persist, you will be blocked from the Wiki. This means you can't access chat, nor can you edit articles. You may edit your own Message Wall if we allow it.

If the offence happens inside of chat, you will be warned, either verbally or with a kick, and if you continue the behavior you will be banned from chat. This simply means you can't access chat for the duration of the ban. If negative behaviour persists outside of chat as well, you will also be blocked.

What is chat?
Chat is a place where you can instantly chat with other users. It is the main social focal point of the Wiki. Although the messages are not moderated before they are displayed, there are moderators who enforce the policies. This means that if a person breaks the policy, the moderators make sure they won't do it again. The chat features private messaging functions with other users. Policies in PM can be ignored as long as both people are fine with it.

What are chat hacks?
Chat hacks are a set of features that can be enabled in the "Options" menu in the top-right corner in chat.
