Have any harsh language in it.

You should choose a username that means something to you.

Socking

Socking is when someone creates a different account and uses it to insult other users or behave inappropriately, these types of accounts are known as sockpuppets. If this happens, see below for the banning rules.

New information

When a new update or feature is privately announced, refrain from adding information to the wiki until its official unveiling through sources such as official social media posts, or when the game itself undergoes an update.
