Any volunteer a part of the Blox Fruits Wiki shall follow the Staff Policy, effective March 16, 2024 00:00:00 UTC.
Expectations from everyone
The Staff Policy ("Policy") applies to all of us voluntarily working for the Blox Fruits Wiki worldwide, regardless of our location, role, or level of seniority. This includes all volunteers, rollbacks, Report Team members, all Moderators, and Administrators (also referred to as the “Wiki Team”).
We are always accountable for our actions and our responsibility is to be informed about the requirements of the Policy and to ask questions if clarifications are needed. No one, regardless of how senior they are in the Wiki Team, is entitled to violate the Policy or to give instructions to do so. Failure to comply with the Policy by any volunteer is treated very seriously and may result in consequences, up to and including termination. All volunteers a part of the Wiki Team shall follow the following Staff Core Values: Teamwork, Communication, Quality, and Integrity.
Human rights, diversity, and inclusion
We believe in every member of our team and we always treat each other with dignity and respect. We value the diversity of the workforce and strive to ensure an inclusive environment. The basis for recruitment and position promotions is qualifications, skills, performance, and experience. We do not tolerate any form of discrimination or harassment based on race, sex, color, national or social origin, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, political opinion, or any other status protected by the U.S. federal law. Treating everyone with the same respect is an important part of being a staff member.
Reasonable use of Blox Fruits Wiki assets
The Blox Fruits Wiki (also referred as “Wiki”) assets (for example, HTML code, wikitext, CSS Code, Module Codes, Abuse Filter, Templates, Staff Discord Server) are there to conduct its organization and are provided to you to do your tasks in the most efficient way. Volunteer time and intellectual property (anything created and used in Blox Fruits Wiki) should be used in the best way possible for the Blox Fruits Wiki.
We allow the use of Blox Fruits Wiki assets for personal purposes and benefits as followed by the CC-BY-SA, granting the broad permissions to the general public to re-distribute and re-use Blox Fruits Wiki assets freely for any purpose, including commercial use as long as Attribution is transparently clarified.
Protection of information and operational assets
Blox Fruits Wiki relies on its data within the Wiki Team and internal communications (also referred to as “Staff Discord Server”) to achieve the objective for the Wiki.
We are each responsible for ensuring that we always operate in a secure way, limiting the risk of any leakage or loss of data of any damage or misuse of our Staff Discord Server. We should be careful in protecting the Wiki’s confidential data that refers to any information that the Wiki Team has not disclosed or made general available to the public and that, if disclosed, could harm the interests of Blox Fruits Wiki.
Statements of behalf of the Wiki Team
When you participate in the Wiki or any social media platform, do not state personal opinions on behalf of the Wiki team unless you are authorized to do so. Do not attack or malign personally or as a group of any person, wiki, organization, user, volunteer, colleague, or any other human.
Dealing with users
We always treat fairly with users and colleagues. No one should take advantage of any user or colleague through deceptions, abuse of privilege information, abuse of volunteer position, or other unfair treatment. When you deal with any user or colleague, you should always put the Wiki interest and protocols first, above any personal preferences. It is a violation to try to favor a particular user or colleague in any of their efforts (for example, appealing, staff application, community involvement) with the Wiki.
Conflicts of interest
Conflict of interest impairs our ability to act and perform at best. A conflict of interest arises when your personal activities, interests, or relationships interfere, or appear to interfere, with your professional duties as an Administrator or volunteer of Blox Fruits Wiki or your ability to act in the best interest of Blox Fruits Wiki. Even in any situation where you do not receive personal benefit, the appearance of a conflict of interest may negatively impact your credibility.
You must proactively notify Limeturtkle through DMs of any relationships or interests that could conflict or appear to conflict with the performance of your tasks for the Wiki. All notifications are treated confidentially.
It is not possible to define all situations or relationships which may create a conflict of interest, so each situation must be evaluated individually. Keep in mind that conflict-of-interest situations can be resolved by open discussion and transparency. A conflict of interest is not necessarily a Policy violation; however, not disclosing it definitely is.
Inactivity policy
Periods of inactivity may be requested if needed for any personal reasons. These periods will be granted by an administrator when the following has been stated and no more: state the duration of your inactivity period and describe the reason of request. A request of this period can be only valid if it relates to any personal reasons. Anyone in the higher position shall not be allowed to ask anything further than a statement of a personal reason.
All staff members are expected to report their absence. Any staff member classified under "Unexpected Hiatus" will be subject to investigation by the Administrator Team.
