I did a little research on using someone else's Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, etc., and I may have been correct to assume it's unethical (if not illegal) to use someone else's policies.

This means that you will have to take whatever points you wish to continue using from the FB policies and tell them to me specifically, so it can be rewritten into an original work. That would both (1)-clear up misunderstandings like I had, and (2)-set a finite list of regulations findable on the wikia site, itself. I also want to mention that in searching for the policies on the wikia I had some difficulty locating them. They could use a new location that makes them easier for all to find and all to read - and since they are being edited and tweaked in the first place, this would be a perfect time. Then it would be more understood that everyone has access and people who choose to avoid them are deserving of the punishments that they receive. In my last forum everyone short of internet spam got at least a warning before any kind of action against their account. I'm not saying we have to adopt that kind of method here, but people would be more likely to follow rules that they have easy access to and receive a tap on the wrist (with a link to the rules) before direct banning. Also it would encourage banned players to keep their accounts instead of just not logging in.
