[glow=blue,2,300]RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE LEGENDS FORUMS[/glow]
Membership
Membership is absolutely open to all fans/marks of the WWE's John Cena and Randy Orton, no matter where you're from, how old you are. Of course it is an unspoken rule that bashers/haters are not allowed in these threads. If you came here just to do that, you're wasting your time, you're wasting the fans' times, but yours mostly, so step off.
Posting
1.) I like what the mods at one forum that I once joined did, so that's what I'm going to do. There are picture-specific threads, wherein the basic rule is each reply must have a picture, one or more. Other than those threads, pictures and other multimedia are not allowed in other threads unless specified.
2.) Regarding Picture threads --- These threads are where all picture posts will go, and that includes news photos. The general rule here is NO PICTURE, NO REPLY. Each reply MUST have a picture in it, even just one. NO DOUBLE POSTS, but I'm flexible on that one. If you're going to post news that has a picture to go with it of the specific person (e.g., Cena or Ortz), the picture goes into the picture threads, the news articles get their own posts.
3.) Regarding Curse Words --- I won't even pretend I don't use them, but let's keep them down to a minimum, shall we?
4.) Regarding Personal Stuff --- It IS avoidable to talk about all that, you know? "Does Cena have a girlfriend?" is old, and I'm not even gonna acknowledge that anymore because I personally am of the opinion that it is impossible for a guy like John-John to not have a girlfriend at his age. SERIOUSLY. As we all know, Randy and his fiance Samantha are getting married in the fall of 2007 (at least that's the plan). And now that I've said those, there's not much to talk about in those fields anymore, is there? GOOD.
5.) Regarding News/Gossip articles: 2 rules -- Always cite your sources, and add your own reaction or opinion to it. Stuff from pro-wrestling websites such as PWInsider.Com or PWTorch, unless marked as "WWE NEWS AND NOTES" (as PWI.Com does) are considered rumors or gossip, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't cite your sources. ALWAYS cite your sources.
6.) Regarding Spoilers: Show spoilers are NOT ALLOWED in the threads. If you want to talk spoilers with other people, PM's will have to do until I'm able to find another way.
7.) Regarding typing style: Please don't type LiKe ThIs, cuz it's really annoying. I'm fine with subjects being in all caps, but please don't do that in your replies and in the post text themselves.
8.) Regarding other members: No bashing of the other members, please. That's just low, in my opinion. If you don't like what someone else is saying, argue respectfully and civilly. I won't have World War III starting in my forums.
9.) Regarding "PIMPING" --- I will have a thread specifically for member pimpage. If you want people to visit your blogs, your MySpace, your LJ's or whatever, that's where you can post your plugs, but please don't do them anywhere else.
Signatures and other profile graphics
I don't have a particular size limit, but if I decide something looks to big, I'll ask you to resize it.
Reaching The Admin and The Mods
...Will be the easiest. Never ever EVER hesitate to PM us if you've got questions or problems.
Warnings and Repurcussions
I, Marciana, know what it's like to get on the wrong side of a mod, so please don't do it, for all our sakes. It's going to be a hard thing to ban a member from these boards. We mods will of course give due warning.
I think that's all for now. I'm sure once we've picked up some heavy duty steam I'll be adding more, so make sure to review these threads.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read these rules. Do take them seriously, and we'll have smooth sailing from here on out.
