Message Board Rules And Guidelines
Please read, and understand these
rules before posting.
|
General
Banning Policy: As a general rule, only blatant rudeness (including
fighting or flaming) will earn someone an immediate ban. Other times
a banning may be handed out for technical reasons (i.e. flooding
the board or spamming) or for ignoring repeated warnings such as
posting spoilers. In any case, if you have been banned, you should
immediately contact the mods, and be polite. If the mods are convinced
that the infraction was caused by a momentary lapse in judgment
or an error, you're likely to be reinstated more quickly.

|
1. |
While it should go without
saying, all of the Rules
and Guidelines of ComicBoards and TVShowBoards apply
here. |
|
|
2. |
Take care
when stating your opinion on sensitive subjects, as others
will likely disagree with you. Taking offense unnecessarily
at others' opinions may put you at risk for removal from
the board as well. |
|
|
3. |
If you
have a comment about the operation of the board or another
poster's behavior, email the mods. Please don't bring up
"board business" on the board itself. |
|
|
4. |
Have you been banned?
If so, please contact the mods, and be polite. Occasionally
technical problems may have caused you to be banned along
with someone else - and either way, a polite response may
help you be reinstated more quickly. |
|
|
5. |
Be careful when
using sarcasm in your posts or subject lines, as it can
easily be misunderstood. Take into account that someone
reading may be in a foul mood and take it as an insult. |
|
|
6. |
If you encounter
a rude, crass, or insulting thread, do not reply to it.
Instead, notify the mods. If you reply in kind you risk
being banned along with the perpetrator. |
|
|
7. |
General
Courtesy. In order to help the board run smoothly, we also
ask these things to remember when posting.
|
|
|
|
7.1 |
If
your message contains no additional text, please state
as such in the Subject. |
7.2 |
Please
do not use ALL CAPS in the subject line. |
|
|
|
8. |
Endorsements/Advertising.
ComicBoards and TVShowBoards will not endorse any special
interest groups, political groups, or corporations. Advertising
such things is prohibited on this board and all others,
except with the specific written permission of management
or the mods. |
|
|
9. |
Deletions. The mods
reserve the right to delete any thread on the board for
any reason. If you believe a post has been deleted by accident,
please contact the mods via email rather than posting your
comment to the board. Note that often times a reply of yours
may be deleted along with an offending thread due to technical
limitations of the software. |
|
|
10. |
Technical Glitches.
The world is an imperfect place, and occasionally posts
or replies may not quite make it to the board. If a post
of yours has vanished, please contact the mods before considering
that it's been deleted without cause. |
