Hi ya'll. Here are the rules on this board.
I - General rules
-1. No insults - We would like the Castle froum to be open for everyone, also children. Then, be polite with others, even if you're just kidding in using an insult, they are not allowed on the Froum.
-2.Respect others - Just because you're on the internet Does not you don't have to respect others. Be courteous and respect the others opinions even if they are not the same than yours.
-3. Avoid typing in all caps - In the internet, typing in all caps means you're yelling, which is not allowed on the site because this is disrespectful for others. Write normally, you'll only get problems by writing in caps.
-4. Avoid writing in SMS language - here, you're on the forums, not in a mobile phone. Then, it means you don't have to pay every letter, you can then write full sentences. Everything like " B4 " is not allowed. Remember this it's a forum, not a bingo. OMG! is ok, but please keep it to a minimum.
-5. No offensive topics - Religious or politics topics often bring wars, so they should be avoided. In a general way, topics related to something illegal (copying games, how to make a bomb...) are forbidden. Try to avoid a subject which will cause fights, the site must stay a nice place for everyone.
-6. In private - If one day you have an argue with a member, on the froum, try to solve it in private. The other members don't have to see your quarrels, The Hey Arnold Froum must stay a peaceful site where anyone enjoy to spend time in, not a battlefield.
-7. Moderator - Don't ask to be moderator !! Mods will chose members to help them by themself.
8. Advertisement - Publicity in general should not be abusive. Don't send your forum all the Time. You can put a link in your profile, in your signature or post a topic in the " general- link " section. But don't harass others. This is forbidden to send any pub in the forum except in the cited section.
9. Other languages - You can send messages in PM's in any language. if you can talk french, even with some mistakes, you're welcome. Please keep it to PM's and off the Forum.
-10. Theft is not allowed - This includes : pictures from other websites, fanarts from other artists, musics, videos, etc...anything that you didn't ask permission from the original author before using it. This applies on the whole site, including profiles and avatars. To avoid any stolen art, you can't use art which is not made in the site that is free for use.. Be respectful for the creator, if you use it, credit it.
-11. A fan site. - You are on a fan site, this means that members imagine a lot of things around the movies and series. They speculate on what would happen before the movies or Series or after and everyone has the right to have his own version. If you don't like something that a member imagine, this is your right but the member can have his/her version, then don't bother him on the subject. Nothing ( heterosexual or homosexual ) is allowed and you don't have anything to say. If you don't like something, just ignore and don't create useless drama or argue.
-12. Avoid double posting- This is not allowed to send a message following an other message ( from the same member ). If you've forgotten to write something in your previous message, you have the edit option to change your message. The only exception to this rule is if your previous post is older than a week and you want to say something more ( for example, in a fanart message ). But try to avoid useless messages like " up ? ".
-13. animated sigs or avatars are allowed. Also, your signature must be horizontal and its maximum size is 1000*200. Finally, you're not allowed to put more than one signature.
14. Avoid short answers - Avoid uninteresting and short comments such as "good job", "I like it"... that does not bring anything to the topic and are considered as "spam". Be constructive, it's much more interesting for the readers!
15. Avoid off-topics - When you send a message on the forum, don't make an off-topics on a discussion. If you want to discuss about another thing, you can create a new topic.
16. Starting a topic - When you start a new topic, make sure you start it in the right section. Bringing back old topics IS allowed (even topics from years ago). Making new topics even though there's already one similar is allowed, except if the previous topic appears on the same page.
17. Castle- The Castle forum is dedicated to the show. Please don't register if you only want to roleplay or talk in the "other" section. This site is for the Castle fans...so talk about Castle. Only Exception is the other boards to talk about stuff unrelated to Castle.
18. Avoid spoilers - Do not spoil a films/series (for example, do not explain the ending...) If you wish to include spoilers, use the appropriate phpBB tag "spoiler". This is not respectful to spoil the others.
19. Don't post on older topic for nothing - If you respond on an old topic which is not active since a long time, thanks to not make short replies or inutiles. If you want to say " you're right " then don't send anything. You can only reply if you developped your argument.
