Is there a set of guidelines one should follow, for there own video blogs

Darn it, now I am no longer on the first page v_v should have known lol 

" @Red L.A.M.P.: I like it...but what are you supposed to contact Babs for? "

" Is there a set of guidelines one should follow, for there own video blogs "

Yay I like guides for idiots like me :P

So much better than the (literally) fourteen pinned threads. Things were getting cluttered.

Just wondering.. but is the word "Damn" considered Profanity? I've always wondered, but no one ever said anything about it :P

can we PLEEEEAAASE add that no information from unpublished books should be added to the Wiki....what I mean is that I hate it when people update a character's page with information from a book that isn't released for another 2 months....there's no possible way for anyone on the site to know if that information is accurate or not and all that's being added is speculation and rumors

I have a question regarding wiki edits. Are you guys ok with users making grammatical and spelling errors even if they are just really small errors?

I am just wondering if Novels based on Comic Books should be included in the wiki? Such as the Novelization of Death of Superman. or The .40 Caliber Mouse series of Books by Stephen Pytak, published by Mazz Press (Uses characters and illustrations by Norm Breyfogle).  According to the info in this post I would think they would. I just want to make sure. And if they are allowed, what should they be added as? "

" @Red L.A.M.P.: The PM mods link needs to be updated to include Morpheus_ "

I'm sure I know the answer but I'll ask anyway.
Are you okay with swearing if it comes from twitter? I swear a whole bunch on there.

I think as long as it's not on the forums you should be all set. "

You should make a sequel to this post and write instructions for following these instructions, and *if up to it*, make a trilogy about how to follow the instructions for following instructions, instruction guide! ... Then pretty soon, we'll be like DUDE LOOK AT ALL THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

so this is probably not the right place for this but maybe? Why does this guy have so many points on diffferent wiki pages but no wiki pts. on his page?

@Red L.A.M.P.: The PM mods link in this thread is broken and needs to be updated to exclude Morpheus_ and Nobody, as does the one here.

I'm curious about how the selections for the "Rad Stuff Made By Our Community" front-page features are made... What are the criteria?

It's 1/2 fixed. I need to get a few missing mods into the js code still.

How does one become a moderator @ comicvine? What does it take?

@thanosrules: Basically be awesome at whatever you are here for (wiki, forum, battles, rpg), make lots of friends, get noticed/well known and if you are lucky when a spot opens up you might get considered.

@pikahyper: Thanks! Great to know. I will keep at it - gotta have goals in life! :)

Love this article. I will dig deep into the rules esp with respect to wiki coz that's what I love to do!!!!!!!!!!
