Here's a list of common reasons you (and others) have been banned:

Vandalism / Spamming

Often times, people will fabricate news about Daniel vandalizing the DL Wiki. Don't try to vandalize under Daniel's name, trust me, it won't work.

Self-promotion

If you start advertising your own projects, even if Daniel related, it’ll be deleted, and you’ll be subsequently punished for your actions, which will likely be a block.

Harassment

It's not permitted to threaten people with things such as doxing, violence, etc. This is often tied with vandalism, namely vandalizing a user page with harassing remarks or insults. If you need to contact a user about an issue, to have it resolved, you should direct yourself to the unofficial DL Wiki Discord

Inappropriate Username

Creating an account with a username that has slurs or hate speech in it is not tolerated, as well as impersonating other people (especially Daniel). You will be promptly banned if you violate these rules. Please do not create multiple accounts, too, unless you have a reason.

Appealing a ban

If you believe you were falsely banned or that your ban should be liften, please consult the Wiki Admin, daniellarsonwiki, in the DLW Discord server and request an appeal. If they feel that it is worth their time, you'll be let back in. Please note that this purely depends on your ability to explain yourself, and the offense that got you banned in the first place.
