No flame-wars. Seriously. I have no qualms about being a mercenary little shit, and deleting and banning violators. End of rule.
Don't be a douchebag (see rule one).
This is your forum, too. Wanna see something that isn't here? HMU at beetle.comma.the@Gmail.com or message me onsite. Anywhere my presence can be found on the 'net is fine to notify me or ask me questions. I'm not particular.
I'm going to be adding to this as I get more savvy/experienced/think of things. And as admins come and go. It's your job to stop by here every once in a while to see if new stuff's been added. For new rules, I will always make an update post as well as adding to this post. No excuses for breaking the rules. Especially since there won't be many or tough ones.
No outing people. No spreading their fandom works, whatever they are, to their friends/family/coworkers/the actors who play the pairing. That's just mean and douche-ish. I won't tolerate it. I'm not a spiteful person, but . . . yeah, I kinda am. DO NOT push me on this rule. No exceptions, no forgiveness.
Try to avoid ableist language. If you're unsure what that is, you have the Googles. You probably have a presence on The Tumbles. Look that shit up. Have a care for the feelings of others. If you need some help getting started on being woke, try Decrepunk.Tumblr.com.
Mental illness is a Real Thing. Don't make fun of it or bash people living with it. Again: I will be a mercenary little shit and end your time on this forum.
Try to avoid all the bad 'isms and phobias. You know what they are: racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, heterophobia (it IS a thing and I don't like it at all), etc. If you can think of an 'ism or phobia I've left out, message me and I'll add it gladly.
Again, because it's so worth repeating: DON'T FLAME. If you don't like it or can't find anything nice/constructive/non-mean to say, keep your trap shut. It's real easy. I do it all the time because I'm a salty little bitch who hates just about everything. If I can keep my yap shut, so can you.
Second rule of Fight Club is: You don't--wait, sorry. Wrong forum.
Be a mensch. Google, if you don't know what that is.
Try to stay on topic within the boards, just to avoid confusion. I'm not trying to be a hardass about it, but . . . I am the Admin, so, if anyone gets to be and should be . . . if there's a topic you can't find or think isn't covered, message me or email me and I'll add it if you can't. I LOVE ideas for adding to this forum. As long as it's not about something seriously gross/wrong/rightfully illegal, or religion or politics, I'll probably add it. And hell, even if it is about religion or politics, I'll add it, with a shit-ton of warnings and some new rules, 'cause . . . NO FLAMES.
NO PEDOPHILIA FICS/ART. NO EXCEPTIONS, NO FORGIVENESS. It's creepy and triggering and, oh, yeah, WRONG.
Also? Please WARN FOR POTENTIAL TRIGGERS. Even if it spoils a surprise. Some surprises are better-off spoiled.
No hawking wares for pay outside of that specific board. It's the internet. There're ads everywhere. But on this forum, we only sell stuff in designated areas. Thanks.
I don't care what your platform is. No one does. As long as you extend others the same courtesy and don't try to belittle the site where they make their fandom-home (AO3, LiveJournal, Dreamwidth, Fanfiction.Net, Skyehawke, etc.), we'll all get along that much better.
No bashing het pairings. No bashing slash pairings. No bashing furries or anime. If you don't like doujinshi, don't hate on it, just don't bother with it.
Introducing yourself in the board for that isn't mandatory, but it's a nice, mannerly thing to do, and someone will almost surely say hi back. It's always nice to be welcomed.
Don't understand/agree with a rule? Message me or email: beetle.comma.the@Gmail.com. My ears and mind are open, except where indicated above. Thanks for being the best part of Fandom!
