Introduction

Due to recent events, it is come to the attention of several administrators that we need a policy in regards to advertising other websites. This proposal also involves how we handle affiliations.

Proposal

The proposal is as follows, to add this policy regarding advertising other websites.

• A. Advertising

• 1. Advertising other wikis at Wikia is okay, as long as the following policies are followed:

• a. Do not send messages to specific individuals through their message wall to visit a certain wiki.
• b. The forums are the only place one can advertise another wiki at Wikia.
• c. Do not create more than one forum topic in advertising a website, unless any previous forum topics have been deleted.

• 2. Advertising other websites that are not on Wikia requires administrative approval.

• a. If you want to advertise a non-Wikia website, you must first send a request to an administrator and such request will be discussed at the next meeting.

• 3. Any violation of these policies will result in a deletion of anything relating to that website and a warning.

• B. Affiliation

• 1. An affiliation page will be set up to list our affiliates. If you want to affiliate with us, send a message to an administrator and such will be discussed at the next meeting.
• 2. If you affiliate with any site in the SpongeBobia network, you must link to us from your website, otherwise you will be removed from our affiliates page.

This discussion will end on Friday, June 20, 2014 at 10:30 AM, eastern time. — AMK152 (Wall • Contrib) 14:07, June 13, 2014 (UTC)
