This website contains content that may offend or disturb some viewers under the age of 13. However, some articles are marked as mature that is recommended for 18 years or older. The RLV Wiki and its admins does not advocate or condone any types of crime. If you cannot handle the content of this site, PLEASE EXIT NOW.
NO personal bias: This wiki is about general facts concerning individuals who have committed extremely serious crimes, with documented evidence. This also includes the incitement of hatred. We do not allow users to use this as an excuse to fill articles with personal bias (for example, "I think Hitler was a bad man" - even if he was, this wording is wrong and displays personal opinion rather than historical fact; instead, the proper wording would be "Hitler is widely considered one of history's most reviled figures") - you must give reasons and reliable sources (i.e. academic journals, news articles, etc.) for any information you give to this wiki, and these sources will be checked. Personal bias is not historical fact. Also, we will NOT allow this wiki to be a Liberapedia or Conservapedia clone! Any information that came from Liberapedia or Conservapedia, or is similar in nature to it will result in the appropriate discipline necessary.
NO articles on people you dislike: This wiki is for people who have committed serious crimes, not simply "corrupt" or "unlikable" people. We are not here to list political or religious leaders, teachers, students, or Internet celebrities (including random internet users) you find objectionable unless they have committed serious crimes and we ARE NOT an advertisement site for internet trolls. If you create an article on an individual who is NOT guilty of serious crimes against humanity (or at the least against a significant section of society) it WILL be purged unless you list and cite relevant criminal acts they have committed.
PROPERLY SOURCE any article you create: When creating an article, make sure to include reliable sources. The previous iteration of this wikia was shut down due to having too many unsourced articles. Failure to properly source your article will result in it being purged.
Respect: All users must respect that reality has many differing views, you will NOT use this wiki to belittle others, mock or generally accuse others of crimes they did not commit.. likewise you will respect admins and other uses. This wiki is for information on people unanimously described as those who have committed severe crimes so we may learn from the tragedies, it is NOT a place to make light of such tragedies or to needlessly spark "flame wars" : respect victims, respect other users / admins and (as strange as it may sound) respect the criminals themselves.. we're here to speak of their actions, not to act as "moral superiors" (thus we can't simply comment "I hate this guy" etc.. give reasons, sources and so on..).
NO New Categories: We have far, far too many categories to the point where it is unnecessary to have anymore. The only exception to this rule is for countries; you are more than welcome to add the country of origin for an organization, individual, or event. Users who make new categories will be warned and blocked if they persist. The ONLY exception is if you ask an admin first and they approve of it. DO NOT add categories that have been deleted or set for deletion. Always check the category's page before doing anything!
NO Plagiarism: Any articles that are copied and pasted from Wikipedia, news websites, etc. WILL BE PURGED! Users must write articles in their own words. This is NOT negotiable and any user busted doing it will get a warning the first time and a block of at least one month the second time around. No exceptions! End of discussion!
NO Ban Evasion: Got yourself blocked? Chances are, you deserved it so either wait for your ban to expire or if you think your ban was undeserved or too severe, please contact an admin. Making sock puppet accounts will only result in all accounts being permanently blocked.
DO NOT Recreate Deleted Articles/Categories: Articles and categories both get deleted for a reason after discussion. If you believe a category or article shouldn't have been deleted then talk to an admin about it.
NO Articles on People Who are Fictitious: This means NO articles on villains from science fiction, fantasy, horror, etc.
Due to legal reasons: DO NOT post pictures/make comments of some criminals such as Robert Thompson and Jon Venables. This will result in the deletion of the pictures/comments and immediate ban of your account.
NO underage users: Due to federal law, you must be 13 years or older to edit this site. If we see you admitting that you are under 13, you will be immediately banned until you reach the age of 13.
The wiki is designed to help inform the world as a whole on the actions of extreme criminals, such as serial-killers, mass murderers, terrorists and dictators - as such it is a rather controversial wiki and users must abide by our policies : this wiki deals with sensitive information and our goal is not to offend but to try and show that while there are no true "heroes" or "villains" in the world there are many crimes that must be remembered so we can learn from them as a whole.
