OFFICIAL FORUM RULES « Thread Started on Jan 15, 2008, 10:30pm »
In order to maintain control over "Movie Reels"--I will be enforcing a set of rules that you must all abide to. Failure to follow these simple rules will result in account suspension, loss of privileges and possible ban/deletion.
RULES:
Don't be a dick: This is the most important rule of all. We try to maintain a fun atmosphere here, and dicks ruin that. Examples of dickery include making fun of other users for little reason other than their mere presence, insulting their films without writing reviews or offering any constructive criticism, and making annoying threads in inappropriate boards advertising your films and TV shows.
Reporting Members/Fighting: We do not expect a utopian website where no fights occur, but please try not to pick fights for little to no reason. If a once valid argument descends into mere flaming, members involved will be warned and possibly banned for a length of time based on the gravity of what has been said.
Chat Box: Impersonating other users in the chatbox is allowed, but you must adhere to some guidelines. You are not allowed to imitate members with the sole purpose of insulting them or hurting their feelings; you may poke playful jabs at them by satirising their personality, but only if your relationship with the member in question is at a point where they would be comfortable with this. Going to extreme lengths to convince other members you are somebody other than yourself is also banned; imitations should be satirical and exaggerated so that there is no confusion.
Duplicate Ticket Sales/Selling: Effective from 17/01/09, you are only permitted to purchase one ticket per film. If you lose the film password, you may request a replacement, but this will not be reflected in the ticket totals.
Only send your TV episodes to TV moderators: It is part of Daz and Hanelle's job to post your TV episodes for you, so please do not pester other members of staff who happen to be online. If you have a specific date you would like your episode to be released on, then send it to either Daz or Hanelle in advance making this date clear. Don't log onto the site on the day of intended release and expect other members of staff who may currently be online to post it for you.
