Board Rules/Guidelines
Registering
~You are only allowed one account per person, unless given direct permission from an administrator authorizing you to have more than one.
~If you have more than one, please PM an administrator with the names of all your accounts. Please note the one that you wish to keep, as all others will be put in the member group guests.
~Please keep member names short and non-offensive. Member names which could easily mislead members into thinking that you are a different member or administrator are not allowed.
Posting
~No flaming please- especially toward other members; will lead to serious consequences. Most swear words are automatically replaced with asterisks (*), however putting spaces, underscores or any other characters or symbols used to try and ?fool? the censor are not allowed.
~If you are posting spoilers (information about upcoming episodes that has not aired on FOX or been posted on FOX.com), it should go in the Spoilers forum. And please do not put the spoiler in the tittle. _This defeats the whole purpose of a spoiler thread!
~Before replying, be sure you read the first few posts, and if possible the entire topic. People will be annoyed if you post something that has already been covered ? such as a question that was answered in the first post in the topic.
~Before creating a new topic, please be sure one has not already been created. This may include doing a search. If you cannot find a similar topic, make sure you are in the appropriate forum and press the "New Topic" button.
Insults, Attacks, and Flames
~Personal attacks against other members, also known as flames, are not allowed. Even if it may seem like a joke to you, the other person may not see it that way. And even if they do, it is likely that others won't.
Many people often wonder where the line is between criticism and a flame. Criticism is constructive, while a flame is rude. Flames attack the poster him/herself, while constructive criticism politely disagrees with a person's ideas.
~Respect for the cast and crew of 24 is also important. Although criticism is fine, personal attacks are not. Please also respect their privacy. Yes, they are in the public eye. But that doesn't mean that we as a community shouldn't do the right thing. This includes spreading rumors and gossip. Threads of this nature will be closed.
~Feel free to disagree with another member's opinion or stance on an issue. However, it is never OK to insult a member?s nationality, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or age. You can say "I don't really agree with that religions stance on ____", but never say "That religion is stupid" or something similar. This includes using a term to describe a nationality, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or age in a derogatory or demeaning way.
**Any member who does not wish to follow and/or cooperate will be banned.**
