LAST UPDATE: 4th January 2014.
By signing up to this forum you agree to these rules. If you fail to read them and break them tough. You should also check these rules on a regular basis to see if they have been updated.
The primary focus of this forum is for discussion purposes.
1. You must have legal rights to any material you link to. The Management of this forum do not control the content of any links posted by any member. This site also does not host any content.
2. By signing up you agree not to post any links from here elsewhere.
3. If you belong to any government, police, media, production company, publisher, etc organisation then you must leave now under the internet privacy act.
4. Please treat all members with respect. Name calling, arguments etc will not be allowed. This also includes being derogatory about something someone posts. Disagreeing is obviously fine and intelligent debate encouraged, but being rude, swearing or seeming like a Troll about it wont be allowed.
5. Whilst we have no control over what links are posted or condone any sharing of these links, any that link to TV episodes or DVD's/Blu-Rays of these will be actively deleted over any other. So please don't ask for those.
6. No one should be attempting to sign up without a member of management sending out an invite. As everyone I or other management members invited was made aware this was a private forum. However if any member is inviting someone then please let me or Exterminate Me know and also please get them to confirm your user name in the reason for wanting to join box. Please wait for approval to invite them. People whose contribution elsewhere is little and constantly asking for things are not likely to get approval. Without this they will get rejected. If someone signs up and gives your username and you have not told us they are joining you will get a warning on your account. Refusal does not mean you will not be allowed in at some point in the future.
7. Anyone attempting to sign up should follow the instructions on the signup page where it says to give the reason AND tell us who invited you. If you do not follow this then you will be rejected from joining. This has been let slide occasionally in the past but is now being strictly adhered to. Anyone who gets approved and then is found not to have been invited will be banned.
8. Whilst we have no rules on needing to make a certain amount of posts to stay a member, we would like members to be as active as possible.
9. If a post is reported and it seems not to have been acted on please do not think no action has been taken it may just be that the action taken will not be seen by everyone. Do not message us if you feel another member has been punished and someone else hasn't etc. We will not discuss punishment or lack of with other members.
10. For now you need 10 posts to send a PM, you can still PM staff but don't PM to ask why you can't PM anyone else. The reason for this is we want people to be part of the community not here just to send each other PM's.
Any breach of these rules or if you do anything else that the management feel is of an unruly nature then you will be subject to a warning on the 1st occasion which will be a 50% warning for 1 month (or less at admin discretion). On the 2nd occasion it will be a 100% warning for 2 months (again or less at admin discretion). On the 3rd occasion you will receive a 30 day suspension. If this should get to a 4th occasion it will be a permanent ban. We apologise that previously everyone would have been able to see a warning on an account. This was an error and has now been corrected so that only the member and staff can see this.
Should a moderator give you a warning and you disagree with it then you can PM them and ask for an explanation. Should you still be unsatisfied you can PM me and I will post this in the staff board to be discussed and make a final decision based on this.
