2) If someone offends you, don’t blow up. Respond in a polite, mature way, point out what offended Du and why Du find it offensive. If it’s something serious oder happens to be one of the things forbidden in Rule 5, chances are people will back Du 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 oder gush about how amazing the Twilight Bücher are. It’s fine if Du like doing that and we hold nothing against you, but please don’t do it here. Take it to a Mehr appropriate spot and keep it there.
4) Twi-haters, this isn’t a hater oder anti spot. Don’t abuse it. Do not make personal attacks against Stephenie Meyer oder her fans, and don’t throw nasty oder immature insults at Twilight. This is supposed to be “Critical Analysis of Twilight”, not “Mindless Bashing of Twilight”.
5) Make sure the material Du Abschicken 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 oder any other offensive content in it (like "sparkly Vampire are faggots", "Stephenie Meyer is a [bleep]", "Twitards are mindless scum blah blah blah"...etc). When it comes to videos, no book burning oder other forms of Twilight carnage. If Du 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 Links to the people who want to see it. (If enough people say they want to see it, perhaps we could start a special Forum thread with a warning oder something. But for now, let's not go there.)
NEW RULE:
6) If Du look at the forum, you’ll see there are two rant threads: one for Twilighters and one for anti-Twilighters. If Du want to vent your rage oder feel like you’ll explode if Du 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 Du make so people will know what they’re getting into, and don’t ever stoop down to bad language oder personal attacks.
NOTE: These are the only two threads for that kind of stuff. Everywhere else is a “safe zone”. If Du go to either of the rant threads, be prepared. DO NOT venture in if Du can’t take the heat. The warnings are there for a reason. If the rants make Du mad, please don’t respond. Either PM the ranter oder vent it out in the appropriate thread (and if Du do the latter, don’t call out names oder 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 Du have any suggestions oder 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 Du so much for your cooperation! Have fun and play nice, duckies!
