|| AT Rules & Regulations ||
Appreciation threads are to be used to shower praise on and appreciate a particular actor/actress/characters. All discussions related to actor's/actress performance, looks, style and personality can be confined to ATs.
Any negative (bashing/filthy language) comments/opinion on other characters/actors or on 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 a relevant scene where other characters are involved but no speculation or hint about non-existent couple/love angle!
Many members have asked for a place where they can discuss about their favorites while being free of the negativity towards them that they might encounter elsewhere in the main forum and hence the ATs. The main purpose is to bond here with other members and share love for the actor/ actress.
Chatting - We do see members chatting, and while we encourage bonding with forum members, please reduce the personal chatting because we do have a chat club for that purpose. However, we do allow minimum chatting in ATs, provided it is related to the AT alone. Additionally, Do not spam with just emoticons/numbers to increase post count/pages. Do not quote long posts. You can edit the post to the parts you want to respond to or simply tag the member whose quote you're responding to.
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 their opinions and should NOT be judged/generalized based on their likes/dislikes however please remember it is an appreciation thread, so if you're not a fan, don't post there. If any of your fellow members/friends fail to follow the rules, kindly ask them to edit their post or tell them its wrong rather than joining them and aggravating the issue.
ATs/discussions threads can NOT be used to target other members and NO fault-finding/mocking or taking digs here toward other fan groups will be tolerated. Any derogatory references or name-calling against actors /characters/members/Dev team members are strictly PROHIBITED.
Report - If you see anyone breaching the rules in any of the threads in the main forum, DO NOT use the AT to rant it about it and snowball the issue further. Instead, make use of the "REPORT" button and report the post/thread by stating the reason clearly, so that the DT can take the appropriate action.
We can assure you that we only take action when there is a legit reason. Stalkers/ non-fans who report in order to get the AT closed down without a valid reason will be warned/ appropriate action taken by the moderator for stirring up mischief.
Penalties: If the DT notice more than 3 people breaking AT rules constantly for a week, the effects of violations will kick start, which are as follows:
First Violation - Warning Note
2nd - Another Warning Note
3rd - Another Warning Note
4th - Close the AT for 24 hrs (1 Day)
5th - Close AT for 72 hrs (3 Days)
6th - Close AT for 1 week (7 Days)
7th - Get rid of AT completely from the Forum/Shift it to Celebrity Fan Club Forum!
The rules are applicable for multiple violations and not a single post as it will be dealt with individually. Having said that, please do not assume that every report submitted by warring fan group will be entertained. We will go through the reports and only if we find the report valid based on above rules, then we will speak to the Admins of the AT and action will be taken accordingly as stated above.
