This is a blog containing all the Policies for this Wiki.

Privacy Policy:
The IrishGAA Wiki Privacy Policy is to insure the safety of our editors. That is why:
 * You should never give out your address, even if it is to people who live down the street from you, as it can cause trouble. If you plan to do that, talk to an Administrator first, to see if it is OK to do so. Only give out your address if the Administrator agrees.
 * Like with the address thing, photos of yourself can cause trouble, as you do not know who is on the internet. Only post pictures of yourself with an Administrators consent.
 * Do not ever reveal any personal information (Bank account, credit card number, address, phone number, age, full name [first name is OK])
 * Failure to comply with any of these rules will follow a sanction as follows:
 * 1st Offence: 1st warning
 * 2nd Offence: 2nd warning
 * 3rd Offence: Immediate Chat Ban (length of ban will be determined by admin).
 * 4th Offence: 24-hour block
 * 5th Offence: 1 week block
 * 6th Offence: 2 week block
 * 7th Offence: 1 month block
 * 8th Offence: 6 month block
