Hello everyone,
Please note that for the past while I've been noticing that there have been several problems arising on the CID forum that I'm sure many of you have noticed. Due to this the following rules are coming into effect starting today for ATs. It is my attempt to bring the forum back to normal. I know that you can all easily move to the FCs and continue there, but I hope that you will also help out in bringing the forum back to its original state.
Chatting - Please note that chatting will no longer be allowed in the ATs. For this purpose please use the General Discussion thread. All discussions must be around the actor or the character only.
Spamming - This is different than chatting. Spamming comprises of posting one liners like "TFS" or "I love abc" or simply posting one picture in each post. You can continue to post pictures, but please post at least 2 or 3 pictures together. Also post the pictures in the Picture Gallery and if they are from current episodes then post them in the current EDTs as well.
Bashing - Let me repeat that bashing will in no way be tolerated. I have taken action in the past and I will continue to take action against comments. But do not bash actors, characters, or forum members in the ATs either. This hasn't happened yet, but this is just a warning to not do it.
Discussion of other topics/ATs/AT members/Forum members/FCs - No discussion will be allowed on other topics, ATs, AT members, forum members, and FCs in the AT. Only discuss the actor and character the AT revolves around.
Quoting - Quoting of more than 3 pictures and creations and long posts is NOT allowed. Other smaller posts can be quoted for a maximum of 3 times, but use the @ symbol for other posts. This allows people with slower nets or logging in from their phone/iPad/etc. to see the page properly.
If the DT see more than 3 people breaking these AT rules constantly for a week, the effects of violations will start, which go as follows:
First violation - Warning note
Second violation - Another warning note
Third violation - Last warning note
Fourth violation - AT will be closed for 24 hours (1 Day)
Fifth violation - AT will be closed for 72 hours (3 Days)
Sixth violation - AT will be closed for 1 week (7 Days)
Seventh violation - The AT will no longer be allowed in the CID forum
