| The Rules |
 |
To join
Members need to live in the DFW area, or otherwise be based out of it. We understand that a lot of people go to school elsewhere, and that's fine, we will make exemptions for things like that. In order for your account to be activated, you have to read all the rules.
Forum Rules
1. Any one under eighteen may not post personal information (last names, phone numbers, addresses, etc.) on the forums. Adults may post at their own discretion.
2. While we are fans of anime, this is not a place to discuss the adult content of yaoi, yuri, or hentai.
3. Avatars and signatures need to comply with our rules. Read the signature and avatar rules here.
4. Observe proper forum etiquette, as seen below.
• Act within the laws of society and cyberspace.
• Stay on topic.
• Don’t double post unless you're updating something. Other wise just go back and edit the previous one.
• Use chat speak and slang sparingly.
• Do not use all caps for the majority of your post. It is considered yelling.
• Don’t troll and don't flame.
• Don’t feed the trolls. Report them.
• When appropriate, use our private message system.
• Chit chat needs to be kept to instant messengers. If you don’t have compatible ones, take it to Kuragiman's chat room. If a forum conversation starts to get rapid fire or chatty, just say, “Hey guys lets move this to our IMs/ the chat room.” and leave it at that.
• Our quote system quotes everything in the quoted post. Cut out what you don’t need, just the post you’re quoting.
• If the image you want to post is really big, resize it so that it fits. Over sized images expand the size of the page itself, make things harder to read, and take longer to load.
• If a mod informs you that you have violated a rule, don’t take it personally, and don’t talk back. They’re just doing their job.
Misc. Rules
1. Don't bring your drama (personal attacks, etc.) to the forums or club events.
2. We require active membership. Active membership is defined by posting at least once every six months, and attending a club function at least once every six months. A six month period is from January 1st to June 30th, and from July 1st through December 31st. A two month warning will be given near the end of the attendance period if your account is considered inactive. If you sign up after the two month warning is sent, you are exempt from the membership cycle. (We do allow exemptions for certain circumstances; i.e. lack of internet connection.)
3. The group’s name may not be used in any walk-ons, skits, or competitions.
4. Do not share the official contact list with some one who is not on it themselves. You must attend three meetings or events in order to get on the contact list.
5. Do not share someone’s personal information unless they have expressly given you permission, i.e. real names, home address, phone numbers, etc. Go directly to someone if you need some of their information.
6. Bringing alcohol, recreational drugs or non-prescribed controlled substances to a club meeting or party is forbidden and will result in a ban.
7. RSVP to any event you attend in the appropriate forum. Meetings held at members houses may have limited space, and the host may need to cap attendance. Hosts reserve the right to refuse members/tagalongs who did not RSVP. Events in public places are open to all, but RSVP so that we will have a general idea on how many people to expect.
8. When we have events or meet ups in public places, behave in a mature manner. (Our public conduct policy is currently under revision, a link to a separate page about them will be posted here when they're complete.)
9. We require that in order to join, you must be atleast sixteen years of age.
10. Those who are under the age of eighteen must have parental consent to attend club events.
The role of the mods and admins.
Administrators and moderators will delete posts that blatantly disregard our rules. Administrators and moderators will not waver in the enforcement of rules. Even those who are friends with admins and mods outside of the forums are not exempt from the rules.
Consequences
If you choose to disregard our rules the consequences will be as follows.
For your first offense, you will be given a warning.
The second offense will result in a suspension from the forum and club activities, then length of which must be decided by a majority vote carried out by the moderators and admins.
The third offense may result in a ban, 2/3rds of the moderation team must be in agreement if that this is called for.
Ignorance of the rules is not an excuse. All members are required to read and be familiar with all of our rules. In the case of a severe violation, a ban may be called for without any prior warning or notice. A ban from the forums is a ban from all club activities.
In order for your account to be activated, the following text must appear at the end of your questionnaire; “I have read the rules and agree to abide by them.”
We reserve the right to refuse or terminate membership for any reason deemed necessary. Rules are subject to change without notice. |
