All right. Since we've been getting more and more activity, here is the outline of the sort of behavior we expect from posters on this board.
People who can't respect these guidelines will be banned.
1 - Personal attacks are not in any WAY, FORM or SHAPE welcome on the board.
That's not to say insults in good fun are banned, but if the person you are targeting with your insults does NOT think they are fun and complain to the mods about it, the mods will inform you. If you keep at it after that, bye.
Personal attack, incidentally, clearly target a PERSON. "This board is full of immature 10 years old" is NOT a personal attack, and neither are negative comments regarding a team, fanfic or anything else.
2 - Be careful how you use some terms.
There are legitimate reason to use words like "Faggot" and "Nigger", but using them as insults or generally, derogatory terms (or, in fact, generally, any frivolous use of these terms), is not such a reason. Again, we'll warn you if we think you'Re misusing such a term. (OTOH, swearing is perfectly legitimate).
3 - Be considerate toward other posters.
Huge signature pics are annoying. Same with people who post all their threads in the wrong forum. Same as well with people who simply hijack a (serious) thread to turn it into their own idea of a joke, without the original poster of the thread agreeing. Once more, you'll be warned if we think you're stepping out of line here.
4 - Mods and Admins are expected to respect these guidelines as well.
If you feel a mod or admin has broken one of these guidelines, contact one of the other admins about it.
5 - Mods and staff members are also expected to use judgement and wisdom in chosing how to enforce the rules.
If you feel you have been unfairly treated by a mod or admin, feel free to contact another admin about it. We'll look into the matter and review wether or not to overturn the decision.
6 - These guidelines will be updated if and when we feel its needed.
