The site rules are listed below. Please read all of the rules, and while they don't need to be memorized, at least make sure you understand them. The admins on Side of the Angels aren't too strict when it comes to rules, but extreme violations can earn warnings or even bans if they happen often enough.
The site rules are as follows:
- Keep everything PG-13 or below. Cursing is allowed, but not excessively. Basically, if a thirteen year old couldn't read it, don't post it. If you're not sure whether anything would be allowed, PM it to an admin BEFORE posting it. This counts for links to videos or pictures.
- Please keep all discussion in the right categories. Each board for discussion has a description that will tell you what topics can be discussed there. This is to make sure members who haven't watched the entire series don't receive unwanted and unexpected spoilers.
- Keep everything respectful. If a discussion gets offensive or aggressive, an admin will step in and lock that discussion until the matter is sorted out. This also counts in the shoutbox. Remember that saying, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all"? That's basically this rule in a nutshell.
- The admin's word is final. This isn't a dictatorship (or is it? >.>), so of course we don't dictate everything, and you can criticize us- it's called freedom of speech. But if you continually argue against the admins and their decisions, it's going a bit too far.
- Please try to use correct spelling and grammar in your posts. We understand that no one is perfect, we aren't either, but at least make an effort. For example, posts using numbers for words (like writing no-1 instead of no one) where they shouldn't be used is just annoying.
- Posts don't need to have a specific word count, but please make sure that they're productive or response-worthy. Just posting "I LIKE PIEEEEE" in the middle of a discussion doesn't meet these guidelines (though I do like pie).
The Proboards rules, from the Community Guidelines, are pasted below.
