Thou shalt readeth these rules + Strike Policy

[Bno]

Yes, I was forced into making these rules below for you to follow. They made me do it, otherwise they would of beaten me.

Anyway, less about me, and on with the rules.

1) Thou shalt not flame members of the community

2) Thou shall not double post. There is a nifty little (edit) button to use, to go back and edit your post, or add more to it.

3) Thou shalt not make repeated topics. If the topic/Movie is already there, then there is no need to make a new topic.

4) Thou shalt not talk about inappropriate movies/tv programs. Remember, people of all ages visit these forums.

5) Thou shalt respect others opinions on the movie/tv program of the topic.

6) Thou shalt not "back-mod". We have moderators already, so you don't need to. Just contact a mod using the little PM system

7) Thou shalt recognise that Igg, .neko. and Bno are quite clearly the best moderators in the world.

8) Thou shalt not link to illegal downloads of televison shows or movies.

Strike Policy

These forums operate a system to dissuade members from abusing the forums and/or each other. Abuse can take many forms and some of us have had first hand experience of this.

The Moderators of this forum have been empowered with the ability to award 'strike' points to members who don't follow the Terms & Conditions of the forum and any other general etiquette expected when taking part in this Community.

Therefore, if members fail to heed the Terms & Conditions of the forum, as we have seen in the past, or ignore requests from Moderators, they can expect to be jumped on.

The Moderators do not have to tell you if you have been awarded a 'strike', but they will regularly report any abuse of the Forum to the Administrators who will take action against repeat offenders.

Incase you're wondering just what might await you if you don't abide by the Terms & Conditions, then there is a simple guide below.

One strike will bring your future actions under close scrutiny by the Moderating team.

Two strikes will interest the Administrators, who will then pay special attention to you, and not in a good way.

If you manage to get three strikes, then you will find yourself banned from the forum for a set amount of time. This amount of time will depend on what you have done to earn those strikes in the first place.

Each strike thereafter, up to a maximum of six strikes will get you banned, again for a certain length of time to be determined by the Administrator dealing with you. When you reach six strikes, you're history. No discussion, no argument. The Administrator's decision is final.

Serious offences against the Forum or other users will result in an immediate ban.

All strikes will be wiped at the end of every month, apart from those with six strikes who will be permanently banned from the forums. The reasons for the strikes being awarded will be kept on file for future reference.

The vast majority of members will never get a strike as they conduct themselves perfectly respectably on the forum. The odd double post or less than three word response is not going to get you a strike. You will get a polite reminder from the Mods that you may want to carefully consider for next time, but if you respond badly to that advice, then they are perfectly within their rights to award you with a strike because of it.

We understand that people who are new to the board may make mistakes without realising it, so minor offences for those that have been here for a week or less will also be given the benefit of the doubt.

Thanks for reading.
The PPT Moderator Team.

9) All spoilers (information that would ruin the enjoyment of someone who hasn't seen the TV episode or movie you are talking) must now go in the spoiler tags provided with the newly upgraded forums.

To create a spoiler tag, click on the spoiler button in the set of buttons right above the box you type your message in (it should be the last button). Once you do that, just type the spoiler right in the middle of the boxes that appear. If done correctly, it should look like this...

Code: Select all

[spoiler]You win![/spoiler]

You win!

If you have any questions about spoilers or how to make them, please feel free to contact a member of the mod team for this forum!
