The purpose of this Wiki is to accumulate up-to-date information about asexuality, the asexual community, and visibility projects. It may also be used for AVEN community projects such as a list of birthdays or communication on user profiles.
Spam
If a page is created for the purpose of trying to sell something, or if it has nothing to do with asexuality or the asexual community, then it is spam. If it contains an external link that has nothing to do with asexuality or the wiki community, it is also spam. Spam will be deleted immediately. Spam inserted into other pages will also be reverted immediately.
If an account has been used for spamming, even just once, it will be blocked infinitely.
Vandalism
Blanking a page or sections of a page without explanation, or defacing a page or sections of a page, is vandalism. Vandalism will be reverted.
An account that is consistently used for non-spam vandalism may also be blocked, at the admin's discretion.
If the creator of a page blanks out their own page, and no other meaningful contributions have been made to the page other than by the creator, then it will be assumed that the creator of the page wants the page deleted. However, it is strongly preferred that a person with such wishes will communicate with the admins rather than engaging in actions which could be mistaken for vandalism.
Other Deletions
Admins may sometimes delete irrelevant or useless pages that are not spam. This should be done only after careful consideration and consultation with the page's creator and contributors.
