I AM SERIOUSLY SRY ABOUT THE LANGUAGE BUT THESE MUST BE SAID TO GET THE POINT ACROSS
GENERAL RULES
Lurk before posting! We cannot stress this enough. Each forum pretty much makes it clear from its name and description what is acceptable in there or not. Be sure you have the appropriate forum before posting.
Before you post: Before posting, please ask yourself the following question: "Am I making a post which is either funny, informative, or interesting on any level?" If you can answer "yes" to this, then please post. If you cannot, then refrain from posting.
Before you reply: Before replying, please ask yourself the following question: "Does my reply offer any significant advice or help contribute to the conversation in any fashion?" If you can answer "yes" to this, then please reply. If you cannot, then refrain from replying.
Posting Rules
Low Content Posts: Please do not make posts containing no content (ie, "first post," "hello," any catch phrase, or something else completely void of meaning). These just litter up the forums, we need to eliminate these as much as possible.
Worthless Posts: We do not care if you are drunk or high; please do not inform us of either. Please do not register gimmick accounts and make posts as a gimmick, as they are not funny. Please do not post crap asking us to vote for you on some website, give you referrals for free iPods / flat screens / spare tires, or any other semi spam things. (Site admin need not apply)
Forum F*c*ery: Don't f**k up the forums or any user on the forums. If you post a malicious link (any URL with spy ware or code designed to annoy people) you will be banned. Do not make plans to annoy / destroy other forums.
Stay On Target: Try to use the appropriate thread tag for your post. This helps people find your thread and makes the forums more user friendly. Do not use the mod-only tags or you will be auto banned by the server.
Contained Conflict: Keep all flamewars and other arguments in a controlled enviroment. I'm the flamewar king. If you are in an argument, keep it under control, and on topic. Stupid and useless arguments will be prosecuted.
Respect the Mods: The moderators are here to keep the forums safe, sane, and secure. Please do not harass or intentionally annoy the mods. If they ask you to do something, please do it. If you do not like the mods or the moderation here, then feel free to not post here.
Harass and Sass: If somebody is harassing you on the forums then discuss it with them over PM or email before contacting a mod about it. Flames and insults do not constitute harassment. Please do not post others' personal information (phone number, addresses, emails, etc.). Try to stay out of other peoples' personal lives as well. Keep in mind there's a good distinction between the Internet and real life.
Account a Bility: Only one person may use a forum account. Account sharing is a bannable offense, so please keep your password secure.
Crazy Catchall: Please do not try to cleverly circumvent some rule listed here. These rules are general guidelines and are very flexible.
Keep all images work-safe. If you feel the need to post any pornographic or disgusting images. Please do not post any illegal (child porn, bestiality) images or else you will be banned. As a general rule, ask yourself "would my mother and boss be comfortable viewing this image?" when posting, if not, make sure you post NWS aka NOT WORK SAFE.
No warez. No warez, no cracks, no CD codes, no illegal programs that are used to either crack software or perform any malicious activity. Warez attracts the Jeff K.s of the Internet, and we'd much rather keep these people off the forums.
Conclusion
If you do not agree with these rules, please do not register an account. The only people we want to register accounts are those who really want to be here and will respect the rules and other forum members. We reserve the right to ban anybody on the forums.
Current SPECIFIC rules:
1) No posting pornography without warning on the topic.
2) No spoilers without warning on topic. (I REALLY hate spoilers, so I will ban you instantly if you didn't warn on topic!)
3) Keep swearing to a minimum, and absolutely NO racism. Cussing is one thing, but there is NO need for ANY racisim whatsoever.
4) Do not spam/bump topic with useless posts.
5) Try not to double post. Accidental double posting will be forgiven but don't do it. (Wait patiently for the page to load for slower connections)
6) Check the forums first before posting your Topic. There's way too many same/similar topics out there.
7) No single word replies. Minimum words to be posted 5 and above. And if you do make a reply within the 5 word limit, it MUST contain some information reguarding to the topic. Not useless spam.
This may be the internet, but I'm expecting the use of english, not any 1337speak crap. There are various dictionaries available online if you dont understand a word. We're here to present ourselves as capable and intelligent human beings, not 10 year old morons.
9) LOLICON IS PROHIBITED. NO PEDOPHILIC IMAGES. NO DISCUSSION. Yes, you can still post threads about magical girl shows as long as you don't mention . . .u know
10) No torrents or direct links to material you can either purchased in the U.S. or see on U.S. TV.
11) No request threads or contentless "here is a torrent" threads. You can still make threads (about older or upcoming shows, for instance) that include torrents, just don't make it the focal point.
12) If it's a special case, such as old or unknown VHS tapes, or licensed, exceptionally long multi-season or -volume works, ask a mod first.
13) Buying / selling can be done in PM's or where I has stated.
14) Use these guidelines for spoiler tags.
15) No thread hijacking. None. If you spam up a thread, be ready to be warned and the thread locked.
16) Dont pump old topics.
