Basically, Pikipedia and Pikmin Fanon share the IRC channel, and they've set up some rules over there, but it obviously doesn't make sense for the two wikis to have different rules for the channel.

So, first, should we have written rules?  Everything until now regarding behaviour on the wiki has just been along the lines of, admins see people doing stuff that's obviously wrong and stop them, with no need for rules.  The only thing I can find is a mention of topicality at [[Pikipedia:Talk page policy]]...

And, if so, what should they be?  Pikmin Fanon's are <s>here</s> and [[fanon:PikminFanon:Code of Conduct|here]]. <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span> 17:32, 15 August 2011 (EDT)

Thought that this was common sense, but apparently not, as a user recently impersonated Prezintenden on the chatroom, and didn't realize it at the moment. I'd like to point out that this is a server rule as well, so perhaps something regarding impersonation should be added. {{User:PikFan23/sig}}

:The user was me, and it was in response to a jest from PikFan kicking me from the Chat in response to me faking being extremely miserable and weepy over his brief departure. I impersonated Prezintenden and told him in an official manner that what he did was "an abuse of his Op status". I would've refrained from this had this been a server rule, and apparently it is, though I am not sure where I would find rules specific to a server. The official page for GENERAL chat states that a joke is considered spam or flaming if a user refuses to stop when clearly asked. PikFan didn't even ask before I admitted and left my temporary nickname, so what are the boundaries between a joke and something that warrants a ban, or warning? -{{User:Los Plagas/sig}}
::My apologies. I was rather tired at the moment, and so did not think clearly. However, impersonation is still against the server rules, regardless of your motive. I didn't ask because I thought it actually '''was''' Prezintenden, but I suppose not. I had even forgotten to ask him to stop, because I was caught up in what was going on. So I apologize for my odd actions last night. {{User:PikFan23/sig}}
:The problem arises when darkmyst staff find out you're impersonating another user. If they were to find out you were impersonating someone else, you could be permanently banned not only from the pikipedia chatroom, but from the entire darkmyst server. It's happened before. --{{User:Gamefreak75/Sig}}
:::I see Gamefreak's point, but I believe the main point was defining the point between a joke and spam, or flaming.
:::However, I would also like to point out to PikFan that the exact same thing could be said of his numerous kicks of me from the server for very minor things that would actually be considered abuse of power had he meant them. I hope that he would be willing to accept that he has done the same kind of thing numerous times before (especially since this is my first time doing anything of the sort). I would think that the only reason ''he'' has not been banned is because he is an op, and therefore trusted by the staff enough so that they do not look into his actual reasoning for my large number if kicks, or they are not being particularly attentive. {{User:Los Plagas/sig}}
