Hi everyone, we really want these rules to be taken seriously so please read all of them and follow them to the best of your ability.
1. Posing
Posing is not allowed. Don't know what posing means? Let's say you come in here telling us your Emma Watson, ha, nice try. We won't believe you. Please don't pretend to be someone your not.
2. Cussing/Swearing
Cussing or swearing on the forum is not allowed. Some members on here are small and are not yet familiar with these words, and people that do swear will influence them. Please keep it kid-friendly. We wouldn't want to set a bad example. But, words such as "frigging" or "dang" are allowed. Just don't go overboard.
3. Multiple Accounts
You are not allowed to make multiple accounts on this forum, period. If you were banned before, and you make another one, we will know, trust us. And one of the staff members will ban you. Also, don't make multiple accounts to just vote for someone on a contest, or to pretend you have many friends. That's just pathetic.
4. Bashing
Bashing is prohibited. If you bash any of the HP actors, why did you even join this forum? haters are not allowed and will be banned, period. This is a Harry Potter fan forum, therefore we will not allow haters. Secondly, please do not bash other celebrities either. If you don't like them, just keep them nice and say it in your opinion so people don't get offended.
5. Spamming
Do not Spam. Of any type, whether it be weird letters such as "lol", "idk" "welcome". We will delete your posts if you do this.
6. Posting correctly
Please make sure you post in the correct forums, posts in the wrong forums will be moved by mods/admin to the appropriate ones. And please keep off-topic posts in the Forum Hangout area.
7. Avatar and signature size
Yes, there is a limit to how big you avatar or signature is. The biggest your avatar can be is no more than 100x100. And for a signature, no bigger than 500x400. That's it. If we see that it's bigger than those, we will tell you to resize it, don't know how? We will do it for you.
8. Respecting others
Be respectful of all members, do not flame or harass other members.
9. Problems with a Member/Moderator/Admin
If you have a problem with any of the members or moderators, please pm one of the admins and we'll try to solve it. But if you have a problem with us, the admins, then please pm us telling us what's bugging you about us, don't be afraid, we won't bite you. We'll just try to solve it.
10. Pointless threads
Do not make threads that are pointless. Threads such as "omg, please help me!" are called pointless. And please make the title of your thread understandable and specific so people won't get confused.
11. Double posting
Do not double post, or else we will delete one of your posts. If you think that a thread you made is being ignored or you want to add something to it, please just edit your post.
12. Bumping
Please do NOT bump threads unless necessary. If someone wanted to post there, they would have already.
13. Advertising
Advertising your site/forum is only allowed in the PLUGGING section, no where else. We see it and it gets deleted. Also you need to have over 30+ posts in order to advertise in the plugging section.
14. Usernames
Usernames can only have 15 characters, this is to prevent members from having names too long that stretch the page. Also, please try to make your usernames simple, stay away from things such as: »←?╜32f╩^ilovehpsomuchomg½ª]".
15. Disrespect
Posts which include profanity, racist, inappropriate or hateful remarks are not allowed and will be edited or removed and the member warned. Trying to beat the word censor by using spaces, dashes or other symbols in place of letters to post a swear word will result in a warning.
16. Leaked Links
Please do not post links to download any copyrighted music, videos, or other content on the forum. This includes links to any full song or album downloads.
17. Spoilers
Please don't post spoilers. If you are going to post a spoiler, please write before your spoiler something like "SPOILER ALERT" or make the spoiler into tiny letters.
18. Other Stars
If you would like to have an official thread about other celebrities, please post it in the "Entertainment" section. You can make it, but with the title "The Unofficial ___ thread." If you want to make it official, just pm a staff member, and they will make it official. (:
Follow these rules and you won't have to deal with us, staff members.
