Here's some of the rules over at the Teen Titans Unlimited forum where I also moderate that could be useful here:
Posting
- Keep your posts clean. No foul language, and absolutely no religious, ethnic, or sexual slurs.
- Unless English is not your first language, please keep your posts coherent to the best of your ability. DO NOT USE NETSPEAK.
- If you start a thread, please post it in the correct forum. Sometimes the moderators have more important things to do than moving threads because someone posted it in the wrong forum. Please read the forum description as to what may be discussed in that particular forum.
- Stay on topic, and keep your posts constructive. Do not make posts that contain either one word or one line (such as "You better believe it") that contribute nothing to the discussion. Nonconstructive posts will be subject to deletion with little or no notice.
Conduct
- Do not be a jerk. Always show respect towards other members and their opinions. It is okay to debate a topic, just as long as it does not turn into a flame war.
- If a problem arises that requires the assistance of a moderator, please notify one immediately via private messages or use the "Report" feature, which is located in the lower right corner of each post. Do not further disrupt the thread by making off-topic complaints to the moderator.
- For your own safety, please do not give out any personal information (home address, full name, telephone number, etc.) on the board or your profile. Also, unless you have permission, do not request any personal information from another member, in which case this should be handled privately.
- Listen to the staff and try not to annoy them. If they ask you to stop doing something, please do so. Not complying may result in a strike against you.
- A moderator will only take action in case a thread gets out of hand, so do not further disrupt the thread by arguing with the moderator.
- Any and all disagreements should be dealt with in private.
- Impersonating another member is strictly forbidden and will not be tolerated. This will result in an automatic ban. No exceptions, no questions asked.
- If you ask to banned, or think you should be banned, you will be banned. No questions asked.
- If you feel you were wrongfully warned or banned by a moderator other than myself, you can appeal to an administrator. However, any decision made is final and cannot be overturned.
