Uncyclopedia:Child protection policy

Serious Zone: The following section contains no jokes. Don't expect any laughs... unless you find disclaimers hilarious. We don't judge.

Uncyclopedia regards the safety of children as a key issue. As such, special consideration is paid towards the safety of young editors here.

Uncyclopedia does not tolerate inappropriate adult–child relationships and have banned multiple users who have attempted to initiate or encourage these. Editors who attempt to use Uncyclopedia to pursue or facilitate inappropriate adult–child relationships, who advocate inappropriate adult–child relationships on- or off-wiki (e.g. by expressing the view that inappropriate relationships are not harmful to children), or who identify themselves as pedophiles, will be blocked and banned indefinitely.

Age policy

Uncyclopedia is intended for users aged 13 and older. Users under 13 may not create an account. If it comes to our attention that a user under 13 has registered, their account and any associated personal information will be promptly deleted or anonymized. This age restriction is in place so that this site does not fall under the requirements of the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Users aged 13–17 are encouraged to avoid sharing personal information, including age, email, home address, or other identifying details. Administrators will not ask for or collect age information from users.

Uncyclopedia and its content

Many pages on Uncyclopedia may be appropriate only for mature audiences (i.e. "NSFW pages"). There are no warnings before NSFW content is shown. By using Uncyclopedia, you agree to the possibility of encountering NSFW pages, even when you are not looking for it specifically. Please take this into consideration whilst using Uncyclopedia, especially if you are under the age of 18.

Handling of reports

Child endangerment, child protection and child pornography

Reports of editors attempting to pursue or facilitate inappropriate adult–child relationships, or otherwise breaching trust and safety, should be made to an active admin (list of active admins) by email or by contacting one on the Uncyclopedia Discord server. The same goes for reports of issues concerning images.

Apparent on-wiki advocacy

Editors seemingly pushing agendas can be referred to any administrator in exactly the same way as any other POV-pushing allegation. Comments posted on Uncyclopedia suggesting that an editor may be a pedophile will be revision deleted promptly, to avoid issues of privacy and possible libel. You should raise your concerns only by email or via direct message; questions or accusations directed against a particular editor in project space are publicly visible, and as such, should not be used. If no personally identifiable information needs to be divulged, a user may contact any admin via their talk page.

Advice for young editors

If you are a younger editor and feel that another person on Uncyclopedia is behaving in a way that you feel threatens your personal safety, or worries you in any way whatsoever, please tell a responsible adult, and ask them to look at this page. Do not continue to communicate with the other person – ignore the person completely. Never give out information such as your address or phone number to anyone, including people who say or claim that they are trying to help you. When in doubt about whether certain information is too personal to share, do not give it out.

Finally

Do not discriminate against authors who you believe are younger than you for their age, as that falls under our No-Cyberbullying rule.
