Forum Code of Conduct!!! READ FIRST!!!
By: TWD4GR Date: February 28, 2021, 11:32 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Be welcoming and open-minded - Other members may not have the
same experience or background as you, but that doesn't mean they
don't have good ideas to contribute. We encourage you to be
welcoming to new members and those just getting started.
Respect each other - Nothing sabotages healthy conversation like
rudeness. Be civil and professional, and don’t post anything
that a reasonable person would consider offensive, abusive, or
hate speech. Don’t harass, troll, bait, or give grief to anyone.
Treat each other with dignity and consideration in all
interactions.
You may wish to respond to something by disagreeing with it.
That’s fine. But remember to criticize ideas, not people. Avoid
name-calling, ad-hominem attacks, responding to a post’s tone
instead of its actual content, and knee-jerk contradiction.
Instead, provide reasoned counter-arguments that improve the
conversation.
Communicate with empathy - Disagreements or differences of
opinion are a fact of life. Being part of a community means
interacting with people from a variety of backgrounds and
perspectives, many of which may not be your own. If you disagree
with someone, try to understand and share their feelings before
you address them. This will promote a respectful and friendly
atmosphere where people feel comfortable asking questions,
participating in discussions, and making contributions.
Be clear and stay on topic - Off-topic comments are a
distraction (sometimes welcome, but usually not). Staying on
topic helps produce positive and productive discussions.
Excessive off topic posts in a thread will moved, deleted or
edited at staff discretion. Repeatedly disregarding staff's in
thread requests to stay on topic could lead to a warning.
Additionally, communicating with strangers on the Internet can
be awkward. It's hard to convey or read tone, and sarcasm is
frequently misunderstood. Try to use clear language, and think
about how it will be received by the other person.
Please post in English and do not use ALL CAPS. Furthermore when
posting articles and/or information you learned/received from
reading an article, LINK the article in your post. In other
words, CITE YOUR SOURCES. Anything less is plagiarism.
Keep it tidy - Make the effort to put things in the right place,
so that we can spend more time discussing and less time cleaning
up. So:
Don’t start a topic in the wrong category.
Don’t cross-post the same thing in multiple topics.
Don’t post no-content replies or gif bomb.
Don't "bump" posts, unless you have new and relevant information
to share. That includes bumping old threads aka necro-bumping
Don’t divert a topic by changing it midstream.
Don't post overly long posts. Keep your posts concise.
Keep Shipping in the Shipping Section
Please keep shipping comments in the Shipping section of the
forum. Shipping outside of the dedicated section has a tendency
to derail threads and as such posts may be edited or deleted.
The only time comments regarding romance between characters is
permitted outside of the Shipping threads is when it is
regarding canon ships, or a clearly suggested new relationship,
andrelated to the spoiler/episode/prediction.
What is not allowed?
Threats of violence - You may not threaten violence towards
others or use the site to organize, promote, or incite acts of
real-world violence or terrorism. Think carefully about the
words you use, the images you post, and even the software you
write, and how they may be interpreted by others. Even if you
mean something as a joke, it might not be received that way. If
you think that someone else might interpret the content you post
as a threat, or as promoting violence or terrorism, stop. Don't
post it. In extraordinary cases, we may report threats of
violence to law enforcement if we think there may be a genuine
risk of physical harm or a threat to public safety.
Hate speech and discrimination - While it is not forbidden to
broach topics such as age, body size, disability, ethnicity,
gender identity and expression, level of experience,
nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual
identity and orientation, we do not tolerate speech that attacks
a person or group of people on the basis of who they are. Just
realize that when approached in an aggressive or insulting
manner, these (and other) sensitive topics can make others feel
unwelcome, or perhaps even unsafe. While there's always the
potential for misunderstandings, we expect our community members
to remain respectful and civil when discussing sensitive topics.
Bullying and harassment - We do not tolerate bullying or
harassment. This means any habitual badgering or intimidation
targeted at a specific person or group of people. In general, if
your actions are unwanted and you continue to engage in them,
there's a good chance you are headed into bullying or harassment
territory.
Impersonation - You may not seek to mislead others as to your
identity by copying another person's avatar, posting content
under their email address, using a similar username or otherwise
posing as someone else. Impersonation is a form of harassment.
Doxxing and invasion of privacy - Don't post or ask for other
people's personal information, such as phone numbers, private
email addresses, physical addresses, credit card numbers, Social
Security/National Identity numbers, or passwords. Depending on
the context, such as in the case of intimidation or harassment,
we may consider other information, such as photos or videos that
were taken or distributed without the subject's consent, to be
an invasion of privacy, especially when such material presents a
safety risk to the subject.
Do not place Staff or the Rules on ignore list - On registration
you agreed to the rules of this forum. Just because you have the
option to ignore the rules board or staff, it does not mean you
won't be held accountable for any rules broken. If we determine
if you have placed staff or rules on ignore, your account maybe
frozen or placed on moderation. ALSO: Do NOT publicly challenge
staff. If you have an issue you need to discuss please send a
staff member a PM.
Do not post screenshots of the forum elsewhere - We take the
privacy of our members very seriously, as such, we ask you to
refrain from posting screenshots of forum activities on other
social media outlets. (Ex: Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr,
Instagram)If we determine activity of this nature has occurred,
your account will have warnings accrued or depending on the
severity, your account will be terminated
Do not question disciplinary actions against your account or
publicly defy staff. DO NOT post screen shots or copy paste
warnings or any infractions given to you by staff.
Forum Dating
This is a forum for TWDVerse. It is not Match.com, Tinder, or
POF. Treat it like a forum for TWDVerse not a dating
app/website. DO NOT DO IT!!! It NEVER ends well. See thread on
ONLINE PREDATORS!!!
HTML http://wearetwdfans.com/house-rules/online-predators!-please-read!!!/
Gossip - This is supposed to be a safe place for all members.
Please do not form "Mean Girl" cliques and alienate people. If
you have an issue with a member contact a staff member but do
not spread rumors, especially when you have no evidence. Mind
your own business and do not give out your private information.
Also do not PM staff and PRY for information about spoilers,
members, other staff members, etc... again MIND YOUR BUSINESS!
Sexually obscene content -Don’t post content that is
pornographic or sexually explicit. This does not mean that all
nudity, or all code and content related to sexuality, is
prohibited. We do not allow obscene sexual content or content
that may involve the exploitation or sexualization of minors.
Gratuitously violent content - Don’t post real images, text, or
other content without reasonable context or warnings. While it's
often okay to include violent content in video games and
descriptions of historical events, we do not allow violent
content that is posted indiscriminately, or that is posted in a
way that makes it difficult for other users to avoid (such as a
profile avatar or an issue comment). A clear warning or
disclaimer in other contexts helps users make an educated
decision as to whether or not they want to engage with such
content.
Active malware or exploits - Being part of a community includes
not taking advantage of other members of the community. We do
not allow anyone to use our platform for exploit delivery, such
as using this forum as a means to deliver malicious executables,
or as attack infrastructure, for example by organizing denial of
service attacks or managing command and control servers.
No Spam / Advertising / Self-promotion on the forums or in PMs -
Do not link to sites or products to self promote
Linking to websites, streaming sites, or services that pirate
content and violate US copyright laws is strictly prohibited -
Requests for such links will also be removed.
WeAreTWDFans reserves the right, in its sole discretion to edit,
modify, and delete portions of posts as needed without advanced
notice.
