1.) Respect your fellow members and staff.
Everyone has the right to join and participate in our discussions. This means that we will not accept any form of trolling, abuse or harassment. Attempting to conduct such acts will result in quick and swift punishment. Continued attempts will result in ban, without parole.
2.) Use spoilers where needed.
Please respect everyone's right to choose what they do and don't read. If you feel like something could be considered a spoiler but aren't entirely sure, play it safe and use it anyway! Please refer to our guidelines on spoilers below:
Content regarding new film releases, excluding news articles or videos publicly available through mediums like YouTube, are to be enclosed in spoiler tags for a month following the release of the film in theaters.
Content involving new TV show episodes are to be enclosed in spoiler tags for two weeks following the episode's release on television.
Content in regards to literature, comics, etc, use your best judgment.
If you are unsure of whether or not something is considered a spoiler, play it safe and put the content in spoiler tags.
3.) No more than two accounts per household.
While some boards allow you to have more than one account per individual, we only allow one. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. We also would like to limit the number of accounts per household to no more than two (if you need more, contact myself or another member of the staff team).
4.) Prohibited Content
You agree not to post any prohibited content. Below is a list of some, but not all, prohibited content: (If uncertain, contact me or another member of the staff team to double-check.)
Posting stolen material.
Posting pornographic images, links to pornographic images or anything that would be rated above PG-13.
Posting other people's personal information or somewhere that displays said information.
Posting links to torrent sites that allow the download of pirated material (music, movies, etc).
5.) Use common sense.
We know not everyone has this; but, we'd like to ask that you use what your momma gave you and think before you do, say or write. If you wouldn't want someone to say, do or write something to you, then don't do it to someone else. We're all here to enjoy the discussions of our favorite television shows and their characters, let's keep those annoying personal matters off-forum please and thanks!
6.) Respect! Don’t impose, criticize, or judge.
Respect each other’s point of view - it’s fine to express your opinion but don’t force it on other members of the community.
Respect each other’s space — don’t encroach on the person’s privacy.
Respect each other’s personal choices — don’t criticize or judge. To do the opposite in each instance would be to impose yourself on others when it isn’t your place to do so. Remember, everyone has the right to be him/herself, just as you have the right to be yourself.
7.) Embrace differences while building on commonalities.
Everyone is different. At the same time, there are always commonalities between people. Embrace the differences. They make each of us unique. Agree to disagree if there are clashes in ideas. As you talk to the other person, look for commonalities between you and him/her. Once you find a common link, build on that. Use that as a way to learn more about him/her, which will help you find new commonalities that you can further build on.
