Dear Book Lovers Wiki Community,
We hope this newsletter finds you well and that you're enjoying your time on our beloved platform. As always, we're dedicated to fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment for book enthusiasts from all walks of life. With that in mind, we have some important updates and rule changes to share with you.
Swearing Rules Update
After careful consideration, we've decided to remove the requirement to censor swears when they appear in acronyms. We trust our community to maintain respectful and appropriate language while discussing their favorite books and topics.
Moderator Guidelines Revision
We've revised the guidelines regarding moderator activity. Here's the updated section:
"After 3 months of relative inactivity in their area of Moderation (Content Moderators in editing, Thread Moderators in Discussions), Moderators will be demoted. After 3 months of inactivity in either Discussions or Articles, or two months in both, Administrators and Bureaucrats will be demoted. This excludes cases where a Mod has given a warning, and we have time to promote a temp-Mod. Moderators can not simply post or edit once every month or three months. This change allows us to ensure consistent activity among our Staff."
New Rule: Copy-Paste Fonts
We've introduced a new rule regarding copy-paste fonts:
"Do not use copy-paste fonts. Copy-paste fonts, which consist of copied-and-pasted characters that resemble letters but are not, are inaccessible to those using screen readers. As such, they may not be used on pages or in discussion threads, including in page titles and display titles. This does not apply to fonts that are implemented via code, such as Comic Sans, Times New Roman, etc. An example of a copy-paste font is: 𝕤𝕪𝕔𝕒𝕞𝕠𝕣𝕖."
These updates and rule changes aim to maintain a positive and accessible environment for all members of our community while ensuring the active and responsible participation of our staff members.
Thank you for being a part of the Book Lovers Wiki community. We value your feedback and contributions, and we're committed to making this platform the best it can be for all book enthusiasts.
Happy reading! Sincerely, Winter Administrator & Bureaucrat Book Lovers Wiki Staff
Live as of 09/29/2023.
