Serendipity's Rules:
1. No spamming the board. Spamming is repeatedly posting after yourself in a thread or the same topic over and over.
• If you want to post something in a thread that you just posted in, and no one has posted after you, EDIT your post. Do NOT post again.
• Do NOT post “I agree”s, emoticons, or other 1-3 word posts in a discussion thread. That too IS spamming. It’s pointless and unnecessary.
2. Respect your fellow fans/members.
• There will be no name calling.
• There will be no flaming (personal attacks on or insults toward other members)
• There will be no derogatory remarks about other members’ posts (e.g. referring to members’ comments, argument, or opinions as stupid, lame, etc.)
3. Do NOT Direct Link to other people’s web sites for pictures.
• What is Direct Linking?
- Finding a picture you like on another web site; copying the URL address; and using it in your posts, personal pictures, or signatures.
• Why is that a bad thing?
- Because people spend money to have web space on the Internet; they also have bandwidth limits that are monitored, and are charged more money if they exceed their bandwidth
• What is Bandwidth?
- Bandwidth is the time it takes to transmit, from a web space, to your computer. The more pictures you have, the more time it takes; which equals more bandwidth.
•So, what does that mean?
- That means that EVERYTIME a member of this board goes to read a post, and you have a picture from someone else’s web space, it charges the original host to load it. EVERYTIME! Look how many registered members there are on this board. That’s a LOT of loading. So, PLEASE be considerate to your favorite sites out there.
• Don’t link to someone else’s picture!
- There are many free image hosts to use, for example Photobucket.com and imageshack.com. You can use those to host your images.
4. Please try to only have ONE ID on Serendipity.
• Posting under more than one ID is deceptive to the other members of the board. So if you have more than one ID, pick one them to continue posting here.
• If you just like to read the forum that is fine, you don’t have to be a member to do that. But there is a one user id rule per person.
• You can change your look of your name by changing the display name but please do not create multiple id’s.
5. Trolling will not be tolerated.
• Trolling consists of purposefully posting a thread with the intent to cause trouble on the board.
• Any post that is deemed “trollish” will be deleted and the poster will be given a warning. It is also possible for a troll to be immediately banned without any warnings, depending on the severity of the offense.
6. While it is okay to criticize their work, no personal bashing of the actors or actresses. Malicious gossip and rumors are prohibited.
7. No stalker-like behavior towards the stars or any of the members will be tolerated. Stalking includes seeking out the person's personal address, phone number, work place, or attempting to track the individual down in person. If this occurs, PM me immediately.
Serendipity reserves the right to change these rules as needed for the good of the board.
Have a great time at Serendipity!
