Forum rules

** Please post an introduction before posting here! **

1) Respect is paramount. Play nice or you will get the boot. Try to keep comments as constructive and/or positive. It doesn't mean you can't disagree, but anything that could be considered 'scathing', 'burning', or personal attacks are forbidden. Its not funny, I don't care if its 'sarcastic' or 'witty'. Don't do it.

2) Everyone has the right to believe or NOT believe something posted on the board. Anything that is posted will be subject to scrutiny of others, so please expect others may express views contrary to yours.

3) Sexual or adult (18+) topics are not permitted in this section of the board.

4) If you have a problem with a member of the board, please deal with it privately. The management does not intervene in personal conflict. We assume you are adult enough by posting here to sort it out on your own. However, if it becomes public warfare, we will ban both parties. Keep private problems private.

5) Do not be a twit. We are intelligent people. We expect a certain level of intelligence and maturity from other people. Screaming about vampire hunters, were hunters, physical shapeshifting or the apocalypse the-sky-is-falling will make you look like an idiot. Just don't.

6) While debate is very important, we ask you keep your language clean, avoid personal insults and attacks, and avoid making a pompus ass of yourself. You do not know everything, don't pretend you do. This board is to help people learn. Insulting people doesn't help them learn and creates a negative enviroment.

6) No spamming. This board has an internal message system if you would like to chat with a fellow member. Links and resources can be posted in the appropriate forum.

7) There is a 'three strikes' policy here at the den. If you get three warnings, you are banned. A warning will be given for small offenses. Posting of inappropriate topics, derailing topics, starting flamewars, public name calling, etc. There are three things that will get you insta-banned. One is uttering threats, two is threatening or being verbally abusive towards the staff of the board, and three is spam. That includes post-whoring with inappropriate or inane posts after being asked to stop.

8) Management attempts to be as neutral as possible, however, in the event that an admin or moderator has stepped into a conversation as a moderating influence it is because it is starting to violate one of the above policies. If an admin asks you to stop, you stop. You do not argue with the admin, when it comes to moderation or behavior issues. Please remember that you are here by the grace of the admin. Period. Like a guest in a private house, you can be asked or forced to leave if you behave like an asshole.
