Specific: User Pages
Please refer to the Help:User Page if you are not familiar with user pages.

Avoid uploading excessive amounts of images for the sole purpose of "embellishing" your user page. All user pages must abide by the policies instated here, meaning no advertisements nor abusive behavior are permitted. Additionally, users who create user pages are asked that they contribute to a number of other pages on the Dragon Nest Wiki. The aforementioned contributions do not include edits done to user pages, user talk pages, nor discussion pages.

Keep in mind that this is a wiki -- a database of information, not a social networking site.

Examples
 * User A uploads ten image files and places them on his user page. These files have nothing to do with Dragon Nest and are not used in any other Dragon Nest Wiki pages.
 * User A advertises a website by posting banners all over the wiki.
 * User B spends all day editing her user page to make it all pretty, amounting to 500 edits -- none of which were made on other pages, thus being labeled useless to some degree.

Punishments The following punishments are examples. The punishments dealt depend on the situation.
 * Deletion of user page.
 * Deletion of pointless image files.
 * Removal of abusive edits.
 * Removal of advertisements.
