| Post subject: | ABM Fan Forum Etiquette |
Hello there!! Welcome to The Anyone But Me Fan Forums-- THE place for ABM fans. We're super excited to have you here and can't wait to get to know you and talk about ABM, but before you start posting if you could take some time to read and understand the etiquette and rules it would be highly appreciated. Rules and Etiquette 1. Don't flame, bash, or harass anyone for any reason. This includes members, actors, characters, writers, directors... Anyone. You have the right to your own opinion, but unless you can state it in a respectful way just don't say anything. These activities will not be tolerated. You will receive 1 warning, and if you continue to behave inappropriately your account will be terminated. 2. Don't troll. A troll is someone who comes into a forum and tries to intentionally stir up trouble. Trolls will be banned. 3. Respect people's personal lives. Don't discuss and/or speculate about things such as who the actors/crew are dating. We are fans, not gossip columnists. 4. Use appropriate language. Don't curse excessively or use derogatory words and phrases. Basically, if they wouldn't use it on the show, don't use it here. 5. Keep it PG-13. 6. Don't pretend to be one of the actors. None of the actors in the show are registered on the forums, and unless an official announcement is made that one of them has an account you can assume that anyone saying "I'm Rachael Hip Flores" or "I'm Nicole Pacent" isn't really them. 7. Let the moderators and admins do their jobs. If someone is behaving inappropriately don't try to fix it yourself, use the little report button or contact a moderator via PM. 8. When posting a topic, check to make sure there isn't already a topic for it. 9. Don't get off topic, also known as thread-jacking. It's really annoying and pointless when a discussion turns into a two person conversation about something totally unrelated to the original subject. That's what PMing or AIM is for. 10. If you are in an episode thread, you can assume that the whole thing is a spoiler-fest. If you haven’t seen the episode yet but other people might have and you don’t want to be spoiled, wait until you have seen the episode before you read the discussion. If you are not in an episode thread, please write *SPOILER* before the spoiler. Ex: Oh my gosh! You went to camp? I went too! That reminds me of that one episode of ABM when... *SPOILER* …Viv and Aster run away from their camp in Canada and get caught by the boarder patrol!! 11. Make sure what you post in threads has a purpose. Read the thread before asking questions or making comments and you will probably have a much more insightful post. 12. Try to use proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc. An LOL or typo here and there is fine, but if your post looks like this: "yah ikr? viv is ttly hawt lollllllz dnt u thnk? nd aster 2" then that's just not cool. 13. Keep your signatures are reasonable size. 300 tall by 600 wide or so is plenty big. |
