This spot has had a lot of different problems come and go in the year that I've been here, and I think that making some ground rules for the spot would be a good idea. Not to try and control everyone, just some basic ones to keep the spot from falling apart at the seams.

Now I'm not just gonna say here are the rules and everyone has to follow them, because I'm not in charge of you and that would be really unfair. Every single fan's opinion matters because every fan is an equal part of the PoM community here.

So, I really want everyone here to say what they think any basic guidelines should be. It could be how different images should be classified when you post them (fanart, screenshots, photos, wallpaper, icon), your opinion on OCs, on rpers, on off-topicness, or even if you just think this whole forum is a stupid idea (but PLEASE, if you're gonna say that, give me a GOOD reason why.)

Once we figure out what guidelines we want (if any) then I can add them up here.

1) All OC related posts are to be put at the Fans of PoM spot, not here.

2) No swearing, unless it's in an article.

3) No porn or (too) dirty language. Remember, there are some younger fans here.

4) No flaming

5) Classifications
a)Images
- Screenshots: Images taken directly from the show.
- Photos: Any editted screenshots or miscellaneous PoM pics (such as PoM merchandise) NO SCREENSHOTS, NO FANART
- Fanart: Any fan-made PoM related picture (OCs allowed ONLY IF more canon characters present then OCs AND no canonxOC pairings)
- Icon: Smaller PoM pics that can easily be used as a user icon
- Wallpaper: Generally larger pictures that could easily be used as a desktop back ground (Not just enlarged screenshots or fanart)

b) Wall can include:
- Information regarding a fan's status or activeness on the spot (getting medals, won't be active for some time, ect..)
- Information regarding the status of the spot itself (hitting certain numbers of fans, bringing up any problems we need to fix, ect..)
- Anything at all related to The Penguins of Madagascar

c) Wall can NOT include:
- Advertising for other spots/sites unless they are about The Penguins of Madagascar
- Anything not directly related to The Penguins of Madagascar, the fans of this spot, or the spot itself
- Any OC content

d) Fanpicks- Opinion based questions about PoM OR can be used for fan-picked contests (such as the presidential election).

e) Quiz- Real, proven facts about/from PoM and the staff of PoM.

6) Do not post more than 15 images in one day.

7) Act as you would at school or at work. Avoid overreacting over romance or making drama
