Some ideas for prolewiki rules

Ripped or edited from the tankie bunker discord. Tweak as necessary.


1. - This is a project of Marxist-Leninists ONLY. Of course we encourage debate and diversity of opinions, but only Marxists Leninists can join ProleWiki. Ultras (MLMs, Hoxhaists, etc) and patsocs are not allowed. Do not join if you are a non-ML who "wants to learn". There are plenty of other places to explore writing and editing for that.

2. - No offensive nicknames

3. - No posting of NSFW content unless it is from a journalistic resource. Also no sexual discussions, especially involving minors.

4. Prolewiki advises you do not doxx yourself. However, adults sensibly know the risks. Minors (<18) must not post any personally identifying information (pictures, real name, etc.).

5. - No personal attacking, witch hunting or harassment. Also no brigading.

6. -No racism, sexism, homophobia, or bigotry of any kind.

7. - It is fine to be religious, but inserting your religion into articles is not allowed.

8. - Similarly, do not promote any ideas or theories which fall under pseudoscience.

9. - You must be at least a confident ML to be able to join. If you don't know basic things about Marxism-Leninism (i.e. the definition of dialectical materialism, the withering away of the state, the labour theory of value, etc.) you will not be allowed to edit.

10. - Don't be Toxic. There is no tolerance for bullying or degrading other users here.

11. - At least critically support Already existing socialist countries, and those that have or currently on the communist track.

General Guidelines:

ProleWiki aims to foster an atmosphere of informative, friendly articles on all aspects of Marxism-Leninism and current events. Given it's easy to overstep the boundaries of proper discourse, we think it would be helpful to promote the following guidelines:

(a) don't repeat baseless slander about Marxist-Leninist parties (e.g. "this party is all feds!"). All discussion must be factual. If you don't have evidence for a claim, don't make it.

(b) Continuing from section a, directly and clearly articulate criticism of Marxist-Leninist Parties without relying on buzzwords, (e.g. avoid "they're revisionist electoralists" and instead "the Party's position as seen here is misguided because...").

(c) Discussion with fellow Prolewiki comrades should be done with the intent of mutual education and learning, not winning internet points. Assume good faith with your interlocutor.

(d) Do not be rude about insignificant interests, opinions, or hobbies about non-political subjects. For example, it doesn't matter if someone likes a show you do not. That is not grounds to antagonize someone.

(e) Heated discussions or arguments around critical or politically sensitive topics should be moved to INSERT CONTAINMENT AREA HERE.

(f) When an article has a heated discussion that is going nowhere, it can be difficult to know when to end it. If a moderator says it is time to move on or for a discussion to end, for the health of the site, it is important for users to disengage.

(g) That said, we can't spell out everything here, we expect users to read the room and behave apropriately.
