2) If someone offends you, don’t blow up. Respond in a polite, mature way, point out what offended آپ and why آپ find it offensive. If it’s something serious یا happens to be one of the things forbidden in Rule 5, chances are people will back آپ up and the problem will work out. If it isn’t, reread Rule 1.
3) Twi-hards, this isn’t a place to drool over Edward یا gush about how amazing the Twilight کتابیں are. It’s fine if آپ like doing that and we hold nothing against you, but please don’t do it here. Take it to a مزید appropriate spot and keep it there.
4) Twi-haters, this isn’t a hater یا anti spot. Don’t abuse it. Do not make personal attacks against Stephenie Meyer یا her fans, and don’t throw nasty یا immature insults at Twilight. This is supposed to be “Critical Analysis of Twilight”, not “Mindless Bashing of Twilight”.
5) Make sure the material آپ کرائیں جمع stays true to the spirit of this spot. Whether it’s a soapbox, image, video, etc...please make sure it doesn’t have excessive language, scathingly cruel humor یا any other offensive content in it (like "sparkly vampires are faggots", "Stephenie Meyer is a [bleep]", "Twitards are mindless scum blah blah blah"...etc). When it comes to videos, no book burning یا other forms of Twilight carnage. If آپ found a really good/funny video that happens to have something like that in it, don’t post it. Instead, just ask around and PM لنکس to the people who want to see it. (If enough people say they want to see it, perhaps we could start a special فورم thread with a warning یا something. But for now, let's not go there.)
NEW RULE:
6) If آپ look at the forum, you’ll see there are two rant threads: one for Twilighters and one for anti-Twilighters. If آپ want to vent your rage یا feel like you’ll explode if آپ don’t get it out of your system, take it there and keep it there. Please use them wisely, put up a warning for each rant آپ make so people will know what they’re getting into, and don’t ever stoop down to bad language یا personal attacks.
NOTE: These are the only two threads for that kind of stuff. Everywhere else is a “safe zone”. If آپ go to either of the rant threads, be prepared. DO NOT venture in if آپ can’t take the heat. The warnings are there for a reason. If the rants make آپ mad, please don’t respond. Either PM the ranter یا vent it out in the appropriate thread (and if آپ do the latter, don’t call out names یا point fingers at anyone). That way we can keep the carnage to a minimum.
And these are all the ones I can think of at the moment. If any of آپ have any suggestions یا ideas on how to improve them, please talk! These rules and guidelines are to ensure that we keep the peace, prevent abuse of the spot and help everyone to enjoy their stay. The last thing we want to do is give Fanpop a reason for taking us down.
Thank آپ so much for your cooperation! Have fun and play nice, duckies!
