=== User privacy notice ===

Prospective editors are advised that the website logs the IP address of anyone who logs into an account. Some wikis, such as the English Wikipedia, use the [[mw:Extension:CheckUser|'''CheckUser''']] tool to natively view this data. This tool has purposefully not been installed out of respect for people's privacy. However, any person with access to the database of this wiki can view see this information. Something to keep in mind. Those that are especially sensitive to this are encouraged to use a [[wikipedia:Virtual private network|VPN]] when editing, as this wiki does not have measures in place to block them.

== Edit copyright ==

Most wikis release content under a free license. However, since Fleff is not comfortable releasing the rules of the war game under such a license, instead, all edits on this wiki are copyrighted. Every editor which makes an edit retains the copyright of their own personal contributions to the extent that they are copyrightable. Once an edit is made, such editor grants this wiki a '''permanent''' and '''irrevocable''' license to retain and display any such edit '''in perpetuity'''. This permission also includes permitting such edits to be removed, expanded upon, or changed by others. Editors are more than free to use their own content in other contexts outside this wiki, including commercially, provided such use does not conflict with the license granted to this wiki to retain and display it. This permission is granted on an '''edit-by-edit basis''' per the relevant string of text near or around the "Save changes" button.

The above legal mumbo-jumo is largely to avoid scenarios of editors which leave or are removed from the community "under a cloud" attempting to harm the wiki by demanding their contributions be removed.
