General Forum Etiquette

[Felicia]

I’m Felicia, the forum administrator, and I would like to first of all thank you for taking the time to read these rules! As I’m sure you’ll agree after you’ve finished reading them, our rules are more or less common sense and are designed to ensure that we can all chat and discuss and other things in a fun and safe environment. Please keep them in mind whenever you submit a message on our forum and if you have any questions regarding the rules you are always welcome to email me or another member of staff at any time.

We ask that you do not bring issues from other sites, chats or messengers here.


►Avatar content. Use proper judgment when choosing an avatar. We like to promote a family atmosphere, and avatars that disrupt this will be removed. Please keep in mind that Administrators/Moderators have final say in this matter.


► Do not be rude to other users or staff. Everyone here is an adult so we should all be mature enough to get along without fighting one another. Do not flame, troll, or deliberately try to start an argument with any user or staff member. Attacking a website owned or operated by any staff member here is also considered attacking staff and is a punishable offense. If you disagree with a decision by a moderator or are unhappy with a staff member’s conduct, please the forum administrator.

► One username/account per person. There is no good reason why anyone should have more than one account. Alternate accounts are almost always used to troll, flame or annoy other users so please register one account and one account only. If you have a relative on the forum who's using the same computer as you, please tell us in advance so we don't think it's an alternate account. We do not grant ban requests for users who are leaving - temporarily or permanently.

► Username changing is allowed, please consult a "Forum Manager" administrator. We ask that you please do not ask us to constantly change your name and recommend only doing so once per year if you absolutely have to.

► Do not share your account. Your account belongs to you and you are the only person who's permitted to use it. Do not allow anyone else access to your account under any circumstances, and never pass on your account to someone once you're finished with it.

► Do not post for banned users. Banned users are not welcome on the forums and we do not want you to post for them. If you know someone who is banned and they ask you to say something for them, refuse.

► Do not advertise. Please do not advertise in posts and threads. You can, however, advertise in your signature and profile providing it follows the rules about unsuitable or adult content.

► Do not ask/discuss illegal downloads. No discussions of illegal file-sharing are allowed. Illegal file-sharing, as the name implies, is illegal. Discussion about legal uses of BitTorrent are okay, but discussion of using it to download movies, music, games, or other copyrighted media is not allowed.

► Post threads in the correct forums. Please try to post threads in the appropriate forum for that discussion. For example, if you’re typing a thread about the Player’s Channel, don’t post it in the TV forum! Always take a moment to check where you are. If you are unsure where a thread should go, feel free to ask.

Any member of staff has the right to issues warnings and or infractions a temporary ban or permanent ban at anytime.

Warning: Bringing to you attention any rule or rules you broke.
Infraction: The accumulation of 3 infractions will result in a perma ban
Temp ban: Banned for a set amount of days with the ability to return. Dual accounts are not allowed so you will have to wait the temp ban out.
Perma/ Permanent ban : Banned from the from permanently.

As we are all human there is a thread to appeal any infraction or warnings. https://writersyounited.forumotion.com/t46-infractions-and-warnings-appeal-thread#166


These rules are to insure the flow and fun of the forum.


Thank You
