Some of these peculiarities are due to Conservapedia being the focus of myriad vandals wanting to undermine or destroy the conservative point of view. Conservapedia articles' tone, style, and content should be written with an ''American'', ''conservative'' and/or ''Christian'' orientation or focus.

Conservapedia is a Wiki-based encyclopedia coming from a conservative point of view, and does not pretend to be neutral, but does strive to be accurate and fair, and allow other points of view.  It is also designed to be a useful resource for students and therefore a family-friendly one, which means that some topics will not be allowed.

Offensive user names will result in that user name being blocked and perhaps the IP address being blocked. Frivolous user names, names of prominent living persons, and user names consisting of, for example, all capital letters or all the same character, may also result in that user name being blocked. User names based on your real name or initials are preferred. Do not create multiple accounts.

Conservapedia is an encyclopaedia with articles written from a conservative viewpoint. All articles should adhere to a [[conservative]], [[Christian]], and [[family friendly]] point of view. [[Conservativism]] may consist of several competing [[ideologies]].
 +
 +
Conservapedia has come up with a key [[wiki]] metric that measures tolerance/intolerance at a wiki. Namely, the [[Essay: Edits to blocked editor accounts ratio at a wiki|edits to blocked editor accounts ratio at a wiki]] which measures the close-mindedness/intolerance and [[groupthink]] of a wiki. Mathematically, the edits to blocked editor accounts ratio can be expressed as: Edits to blocked editor accounts ratio at a wiki = E % BE,  where E is the number of edits to the wiki and BE equals the number of blocked editor accounts of the wiki. The edits to blocked editor accounts ratio was partly inspired by [[Andrew Schlafly]]'s essay [[Essay:Quantifying Openmindedness|Quantifying Openmindedness]]. Unlike Conservapedia, Wikipedia does not have a policy where members of the public are free to set up debate pages and engage in vigorous debate where the debate pages are lightly moderated (see: [https://conservapedia.com/Category:Conservapedia_Debates Conservapedia debates pages]).
