Board Rules Clarification: PLEASE READ AND RESPOND ALL POSTERS!
Dear posters of the Glee board,
It's come to the attention of the mods that some of the rules of this board need to be addressed to avoid further conflict. We've seen some problems in a multiple number of threads so we thought we would make a general statement to address these problems. First, we have a no bashing policy on this board, which is why we don't allow anti-threads. The glee fandom is a big place, full of fighting and ship wars, but we want to keep this board free of any conflict. We want this board to be a safe haven all Glee fans can come to without the fear of having to see their favourite characters or ships bashed constantly. Thus, no bashing is allowed in any of the threads, including shipper threads or episode discussion threads. Additionally, bashing of actors or writers will not be tolerated at all, since it is a general rule of Fan Forum. Now, not to be alarmed, we're not saying you cannot talk about storylines, characters, or ships and point out confusion and problems with them - that's all allowed. Also, we're not discouraging discussion, but merely putting a limit on how far you can go with hate towards the storylines, characters or ships. So here's a list of things that are not allowed:
Things that are allowed:
Please try to discuss the show in a civil manner. Secondly, spoilers can not be posted in any form on this board, seeing that it is a Fan Forum rule. Please post spoilers in the Glee thread on the Spoilers board, or on the S&S threads in respective Glee actors/actresses boards. Spoilers can not even be posted in sp tags other than in the 'What Glee song are you listening to?' thread where you can and should put a song spoiler in sp tags. Interviews can be posted from actors/actresses but any spoiler parts of the interviews should be in sp tags, or it would be wiser to link the interview. The same formula applies to tweets that have some spoilers within them, but are not entirely a spoiler. What is considered a spoiler:
What is not considered a spoiler:
Third, there's way too many characters/ships on this show, so to lessen the number of threads, we have certain guidelines for opening threads. For shipping threads:
For friendship threads:
All other friendships and ships can be discussed in the UC thread. Guest stars must be discussed in the guest star thread or the glee project thread (for TGP winners), they can't get their own thread unless they're major characters like Sam, Jesse, etc. If we find out TGP winners will be staying on Glee for Season 4, we will make threads for them then. Thank you for reading this super long post, please respond that you've read and understood. We love all our posters here and we want everyone to feel welcomed without fear of having to enter another place where all they will see is hate and fighting amongst the fandom. We want to provide posters with that safe bubble they usually seek. __________________

Yes we're planning on bringing the glee back to Glee and the unity and fun back to the fandom which is why these rules are important.

Though, if you have any general questions about the rules or the board, you can just ask them here if you'd like instead of private messaging us if that would be easier and more comfortable for you and in the future you can always ask questions/make comments on the board guide as well. It's only if you have a problem with a certain poster or thread on the board and what they're posting, then you must private message one of us. and thank you everyone who has read and responded so far! |
