The following are the rules for the Entertainment Section of the forum. In addition to the general rules.
1. Respect For Other Users
All members of this Forum will respect the opinions and presence of other members of the Forum. You are welcome to engage in challenging and spirited debate with other users, but rudeness will not be tolerated. Name-calling, disrespecting other users or throwing personal insults against them will not be tolerated, either from an instigator -OR- from anyone who feels like they should retaliate to such instigation. Flaming another user because of their spelling or word choice will not be tolerated, either. Personal attacks of ANY kind are not allowed and users who violate this will have their access removed. If you have an issue with another user, contact a moderator or administrator.
2. Respect For New Members
Flaming new members for their ignorance on proper posting procedures, their grammar or spelling issues, or the content of their messages is expressly forbidden. You are welcome to debate and question them, but not to attack them for being new and unsure of our rules.
3. Respect For The Forum
Trolling (purposely posting messages designed solely to alarm other users) will not be tolerated. The staff -- not the users -- will determine if someone is trolling. Members are also asked NOT to take moderation into their own hands by picking on other users; there is a "report post" button and our members are welcome to click it and let us know there is an issue so that we, the staff, may take care of it. (Vigilante moderation is not permitted by our users.) Additionally, our members will practice common courtesy in dealing with the staff, and other users of this Forum, and likewise the staff of the Forum will treat its members with respect. It is important to remember that this Forum is run solely on a volunteer basis.
4. Respect For Copyright
Substantive violation of copyright in any way is expressly forbidden. Substantive violation includes the sale or trade of illegal merchandise, discussion of file-sharing procedures such as music videos or any other copyrighted video or audio files, including the discussion of "torrenting" files, discussion of bootleg trading (not including legitimate trading of merchandise) and other items prohibited by law. Links to sites that have information regarding trading are forbidden. Links to unauthorized copyrighted material are forbidden, and the posting of such links will result in (at minimum) a one-day ban from the forum. Discussions about trading episodes or video/audio on tape (as opposed to on-line) are forbidden.
5. Respect For Other People
Disrespectful personal comments about others, including public personalities, is not tolerated. You are welcome to discuss their work, criticize their abilities as writers/actors/etc., and comment on their merits/performance, but personal attacks against them -- anything regarded as a personal affront -- is expressly against the rules.
