WikiQueer:Child protection

This policy is about the behaviour and actions of adult editors with regards to children. For the policy regarding the content of articles related to living people, including children, see WikiQueer:Biographies of living people.

WikiQueer takes seriously concerns about the safety of children using the site. Editors who attempt to use WikiQueer to pursue or facilitate inappropriate adult–child relationships, who advocate inappropriate adult–child relationships (e.g. by expressing the view that inappropriate relationships are not harmful to children), or who identify themselves as pedophiles, will be indefinitely blocked.

Reports of editors engaging in such conduct should be made to the Arbitration Committee for further action, and should not be the subject of community discussions or requests for comment or consensus. When an editor is blocked for such conduct, the blocking administrator is instructed to use neutral block summaries, and disable the editor's ability to edit their talk page as well as their access to the on-site user email interface. Blocking administrators should inform the blocked editor that any appeals or further discussion may be addressed only to the Arbitration Committee, and then notify the Committee immediately.

Comments posted on WikiQueer suggesting that an editor may be a pedophile will be RevDeleted promptly, to avoid issues of privacy and possible libel. You should raise your concerns only by email; questions or accusations directed against a particular editor in project space may result in a block for the editor who posted them.

If you are a younger editor and feel that another person on WikiQueer 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 them completely. Never give out personal information to anyone including people who say they are trying to help you.

If you are concerned about the behavior of another editor, please contact WikiQueer's Arbitration Committee, but please read the Communications and privacy section of the Arbitration Committee page before doing so.
