Every board has rules to have it run smoothly and here are ours:
Posting Rules
Threads that are located in the inappropriate forum will either be closed or moved to the appropriate forum. Please read forum descriptions carefully before posting.
Please check to see that a thread on your topic has not already been posted before you post (use the search feature to help you). Multiple topics will be closed, merged or deleted.
Create threads with clear titles that describe the topic of the thread (that means no titles like 'Guess what!'). When posting, please keep to the topic of the thread as much as possible. Threads that stray too far from the topic will be closed.
DiStOrTeD TeXt and text used in all CAPS (the online equivalent of shouting) should not be used. Also text and kewl talk are to be avoided - that includes text using numbers and letters (example: 4 u 2), and other intentionally misspelled words. Remember that we have many members from non-English speaking countries – when you use kewl talk it makes it difficult for them to understand what you’re saying.
Offensive, obscene and profane language should not be used. Most points can be expressed without resorting to inappropriate language.
When posting any news articles, include a link to the site or otherwise quote the source that it was taken from. Copying portions of text from other websites is in fact infringing copyright laws and could result in this site being closed down.
Please do not 'bump' threads (posting only to bring the topic back up to the top of the forum).
Threads celebrating number of posts reached are allowed at every 500 posts. ie, 500, 1000, 1500 etc. Threads celebrating other post counts will be deleted.
Spoilers
If there is a thread that has spoilers in them, please insert SPOILERS in the thread title somewhere. Please do not include spoilers in thread titles as people using the “New Posts” feature will see them. You may also use spoiler tags in your posts:
Anything from the current season of the Whedonverse shows not yet aired in the US is considered a spoiler, as well as info about unpublished comics and novels. The popup spoiler tags have a problem with quotation marks, so if your popup is not working just use the old style.
Spam
Spamming will not be tolerated, and will be deleted. Spamming includes any post that is made solely to increase your post count – such as only posting smilies, one or two word posts, or posting a reply when one is not required (such as repeated "thank you" and "you're welcomes"). Please also refrain from double posting; use the 'edit post' button where needed. We want to hear what you think - spam posts add nothing to the discussion and make the real discussion difficult to follow.
RPGs
Only RPG's devised by the site staff are permitted on the boards. RPG ideas however are welcome.
Board Families & Cliques
Board "families" are not allowed. Any creation of groups or clubs on this site MUST be cleared first with the staff.
