Just like on any other forum there are a few rules that I would like you to follow in order to keep this place fun for everyone. This board will hopefully contain no censorship as long as it is related to the discussion of Tanz der Vampire. We know that the majority of these will be common sense to most people, but please at least scan them anyway. The reason we post these is to help the boards run more smoothly. If you have any questions regarding these rules, then feel free to PM me.
RULES
1. Be friendly towards others.
2. Please do not post any personal information of any kind, be it yours or anyone else's.
3. If you have not been reading the boards for at least a week or so, please do not post yet!
4. If you are starting a topic, make sure you're posting it in the correct forum.
5. Don't post the same topic more than once or in more than one forum.
6. Don't start a new thread about something covered in another thread (common board courtesy is to scan the board first), and especially do not start a new thread to post a reply message to something in another thread.
7. Try not to post more than several times a day.
8. Please don't create a thread to tell us you think the boards are boring.
9. Posting any kind of spam is strictly forbidden. Any account that appears to have been registered simply to spread spam (usually recognized by their use of nonsensical, suspicious, or obvious names) will be removed on sight. Spammers beware! I will be comparing the IP and email address of every new user with the StopForumSpam.com database. If you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to worry about. All others, fear and tremble!
10. Let's have meaningful posts please, no otherwise useless opinions unless you're letting us know why you think so as well, and thereby sparking a discussion.
11. Do not reply to posts if you have nothing to add other than that you agree with the poster above you. It's a waste of time and space.
12. Do not post any material that can be regarded as illegal on this forum.
13. Do not overuse emoticons, exclamation points, or any other punctuation mark, do not add "LOL" to every single post (we know you're not really laughing, and neither are we), and do not type in all caps, alternating caps, or cell phone/text pager code. You are not limited on how many characters you use. It annoys everyone else.
14. Please keep all images to a reasonable size or else only post the link. Avatars can have a maximum size of 65x65 pixels. Keep your signatures to a reasonable size as well!
15. If you have a technical problem using the boards, please PM us about the problem and we'll post a topic tracking our progress in fixing it on this board.
16. If you want access to the "Trading" section, you will need at least 20 posts. To obtain access, go and explore the forum and make 20 'quality' posts. (Posts like a short "thank you" or a simple "yes" or "no" do not count.) Remember that the staff will be moderating your posts carefully. Also, while having a trading list or being a trader is, of course, recommended, it's not required. Once you have reached 20 posts, you should automatically have access. It's very important that once you have access, you should immediately read the forum rules before posting or downloading anything. By not keeping to the rules, you risk having your special access taken from you, and in the worst cases, you could be banned from the forum entirely.
TYPES OF POSTS THAT WILL BE DELETED
a. Any topic posted in more than one forum
b. Any post that contains a personal attack on another board user
c. Any post that contains sensitive personal information (whether true or untrue) about anybody, be it yourself or someone else
d. Threads that are not related to the forum in which they belong
e. Any post containing graphic pornography
f. Anything over a couple of months old, when we need to reclaim space on the server
