PostPosted: Fri Sep 29, 2006 4:51 am    Post subject: Forum Etiquette, Rules and Policies Reply with quote

Since this forum seems to be thriving these days we felt it was about time to set out some basic rules to keep this place orderly. There have been no major problems, you have all been very well behaved and have made the moderators jobs pretty easy ones, but it does seems best to lay out some ground rules. Most of these are general rules that are found in most other forum on the internet, still please review them and follow them as best you can.

Be Friendly
This is the number one rule at this forum. We want this to be appropriate for all ages. When discussing such subjects please do not go into graphic details, but instead, if you feel such information is needed for your theory to make sense provide a link to your source material and please make sure to add a disclaimer to the link describing how the link may not be appropriate for all ages. This also holds for when discussing images. If there is an image (even if it is a screen shot from a video) which may not be PG material, please do not embed it in the thread, instead link to it and include a disclaimer.

Double Posting and Spam
We will keep this section short and sweet. Just please don’t do it. If after making a post you suddenly realize you forget a point, instead of posting again just edit your original post. Also, try to make sure your post has something of a point to it, we understand getting excited and impatient for a video to get posted, but we would rather not see a hundred “Have you uploaded the vid yet Cu?” style posts again.

When and Where To Post
When trying to decide if you should create a new thread or not, please make use of the search functionality to make sure your point or question would not be suitable for an already existing thread.

Where to post? This has become an increasing problem over the recent days. It is best to understand that there are fundamentally three different sections to this forum: The Real World, LG15 the Series, Fan Fiction. The Real World section consists of Admin Announcements and General Discussion. If you want to talk about the website, or actors in the series, or anything else pertaining to real life please use this section. LG15 the Series consists of Mysteries in the Plot and Characters. If you want to talk about things relating to lonelygirl15 or DanielBeast videos use this section. Finally, Fan Fiction consists of Other Videos and Accounts. If you want to talk about any other videos (CiW, LonesomeOctober, etc) please use this section. We will now be enforcing this rule more strictly. Please keep all comments relating to other videos in the other videos forums. Even if you see a clue in a LG15 video, which you think will help solve a CiW mystery, please post about it in the CiW forum, not in The Videos or Plot Discussion forums.

We are not interested in censoring people, we want you talk about whatever you want to talk about, please just keep it in the appropriate forums. Thank You.


Disagreements: Attack the Argument, Not the Poster
With so many different theories being tossed about it is to be expected that people will start to debate with each other. We would just like to make sure everyone understands that it is fine to attack someone’s argument, to try and figure out where they are wrong, but it is never acceptable to attack, or insult the poster themselves. For example, “You’re stupid, your point is dumb” is not what we would like to see on this board, we would greatly prefer to see posts like “I disagree with your point because…”

Images: Avatars and Signatures
When embedding images in a thread please make sure they are not so big that they distort the thread, if you notice that is the case please resize the image you are linking to. We will also now be enforcing the rule that Avatars should be 80x80. Some variance may be acceptable, but if you receive a PM from a moderator asking you to shrink your avatar we would greatly appreciate it if you did so. Images in signatures will no longer be allowed, if you have one please remove it.

If you have any questions or concerns about any of these rules, or if you have a suggestion for an additional one you would like to see employed, please post in the appropriate topic in Welcome to the New Forum. Thank you for trying to abide by these rules; we hope they make this board into an even more enjoyable place to spend your time.
