Following the recent issues we have had with the appreciation threads, the DT would like to reinforce certain rules about ATs. Everyone MUST read these rules and abide by them at all times.
Appreciation Thread: Appreciation threads are to be used to praise and appreciate particular favourite actor/actress/characters. All discussions related to actors/actresses' performance, looks, style and personality can be confined to ATs.
Any negative (bashing/filthy language) comments/opinion on other characters/actors or on the storyline that are not relevant to the thread's topic, scene or actor/characters scene with other characters should NOT be discussed here. Members can discuss relevant scene where other characters are involved but no speculation or hint about non-existent couple/love angle! We are forced to implement this restriction because many members asked for a place where they can discuss about their favourites while being free of the negativity towards them that they might encounter elsewhere in the main forum. The main purpose is to bond here with other members who like the same thing, while being free of negativity towards what they like.
a. Chatting: We do allow minimum chatting in ATs, provided it is related to this AT alone. Additionally Do not spam with just emotions/numbers to increase post count/pages. Do not quote long quotes. You can quote three posts maximum and they should be small.
ATs are open for everyone, however, do not invade the AT with the purpose to rile up the fans or instigate them. Everyone has their right to voice out their opinions and should NOT be judged/generalized based on their likes/dislikes. If any of your fellow members/friends fails to follow the rules, kindly ask them to edit out or tell them its wrong rather than joining them and aggravate the issues further and equally responsible for carrying forward an unfavourable situation. Hence be responsible and take responsibility because that way you may prevent action taken against your AT thread.
ATs/discussions threads can NOT be used to target other members and NO pinpointing activity/mock or taking digs here toward other fan groups. Any derogatory references or name callings against actors /characters/members/Dev. team members are strictly PROHIBITED here. Talking about what a member has said on another thread on the forum/talking about non AT members from other threads is strictly prohibited
b. Report: If you see anyone breaching the rules in any of the threads in the main forum, you will not come here and have a discussion about it and snowball the issue further! Instead make use of the "REPORT" button and report the thread by stating the reason clearly. As soon as the Dev. Team comes online they would take the necessary action.
We can assure you guys that we only takes action where it's legit reason. However, here is a little catch for the members who just want to report in order to get the AT closed down - If you report any post/comments that has no legit reason, you will be reliable for action against you for stalking.
c. Penalties: If the DT sees more than 3 people breaking the AT rules constantly for a week, the effects of violations will kick start, which go as follows:
First Violation - Warning Note Second - Another Warning Note Third - Another Warning Note Fourth - Close the AT for 24 hrs (1 Day) Fifth - Close AT for 72 hrs (3 Days) Sixth - Close AT for 1 week (7 Days) Seventh - Get rid of AT completely from the forum and move to CFC section
(Although BV DT have been very lenient in the use of the above warning steps, this is the general progression of warning for most forums). We hope everyone will read these rules and abide by them. BV Dev. Team
