The House Rules
Rules are subject to revision and change at anytime based on the needs of the board.

On Posting

  • Profanity is permitted in conversation in moderation. Curse words are not to be directed to other members (name calling). Misspellings to bypass the curse filter will result in punishment.
  • Vulgar topics will not be allowed. Mature topics may be added to the Mature forum. They will be approved before posting.
  • No disrespecting members based on their choices in life; religion, politics, diet, etc.
  • Please make a decent attempt at grammar. Chatspeak is forbidden. You don't have to be perfect, but make an attempt at being coherent.
  • Images are not to be quoted in posts.
  • Members are not permitted to change the color of their text in posts (except in fanfics for writing purposes). Anyone who is found changing colors will be warned and the formatting removed. Repeat offenses may lead to having your posting permissions revoked.
  • Posting links directing off the forum is fine, but anyone caught posting any links that send someone to a virus ridden or phising site will have their posting permissions revoked without warning. There is a no tolerance policy with this. You may apply to the Admin team if you feel you were wronged, but you may or may not win your case. You have been warned!
On Courtesy

  • On Spoilers: This forum considers something a spoiler for 14 days after the original air date in the US. Discussion posts are posted when an episode airs and are to be considered a spoiler domain. In any other areas, the Spoiler tag is to be used to hide any spoilers. No exceptions.
  • All members and admin should be treated with respect and kindness. We are all friends here, not frienemies.
  • Agree to disagree. Everyone has opinions and seldom will you find someone who will always agree with you.
  • Double accounts are not permitted nor tolerated. We are honest with you, be honest with us. Anyone found to have a double account (for reasons other than being unable to access their old account) will be banned with no warning. Admin reserves the right to be exception to this rule. Admin will always be upfront about the double account and it's purpose.
  • Name changes are allowed through your personal console, but still must be approved by an Admin. We will only approve one change, per person, per every three month time period, so choose wisely.
[Hidden Content: Login/Register to View]Plagiarism Policy

  • Plagiarism will not be tolerated.
  • We will give you the chance to defend yourself, but if the evidence is strongly against you, we will have no choice but to punish you.
  • Standard punishment will be 5 days suspension for your first offense. Once your suspension has lifted, you will be watched carefully by the staff. Additional offenses will result in longer suspensions or banning, judged on a case by case basis.
Spam, Bashing, Trolls, and Bans

  • Spam messages will not be tolerated except in the Spam Thread. You can delete accidental double posts. If you can not contribute to the topic, then do not post. Short sentences and smiley-only posts are considered spam.
  • Bashing will not be tolerated, whether it be ship, character, or personal bashing. If you have nothing nice to say, you should say nothing at all.
  • Trolling will result in an immediate ban. Ignorance on what a troll is, will not save you.
  • For minor offenses, a week suspension will be given. You have two chances before we will no longer be easy on you.
  • A third minor offense, or a major offense will result in an immediate ban.
  • As always, Admin/Mods reserve the right to deal with suspensions/bans on a case by case basis.
Signatures, Icons, and Images

  • Posts may include images of a reasonable size (700 pixels wide/tall max), however posts are limited to a single image unless the post allows otherwise or you have prior permission from the staff. Images posted must have relevance to the topic at hand. When in doubt, post a link to the image instead of the image itself. Whenever possible, use the thumbnail coding.
  • Images must be tasteful. No vulgarity, nudity, gore, bashing, or real-life weaponry.
  • Icons and Signatures must follow these same rules.
  • Thumbnail images with links are forbidden in signatures.
  • Signatures are allowed to have one gif in them, no more. A gif is defined as a moving image. Filetype is irrelevant.
  • You have the choice of using one large (500w x 350h in pixels) image or up to three small (200w x 200h in pixels) images in your signatures. If you choose to use a larger image, then it is the only image you may have.
  • Signature violations will result in warnings, signature removal, and even the loss of ability to have a signature at the Staff's discretion.
