The Duckyboos Forums are family oriented, so please read the following rules:
Revision 18/MAR/2009
Joining In
* Do not make multiple accounts, even if it's to role-play as a character. This causes confusion, making people think you are new when you are not. Members caught doing this will be asked to choose only one name, and stick to it, while the other accounts are removed.
* If you are banned, you must not make a new account to bypass it. Users caught doing this will simply be banned again, and if repeated, your IP address will be banned too.
* If you are having difficulty registering or having your account activated, first, please look into your spam filter for the confirmation mail. If you have an automatic spam remover running, please temporarily disable it before registering.
Keep it clean!
* We do not allow posts that are found to be vulgar, defamatory or otherwise offensive. We will also not allow arguments between members, which can also include political, religious or otherwise ideologically sensitive debates. Such posts will be locked and possibly deleted.
* Please don't swear - the most offensive profanities are auto-censored and must not be overridden. Users caught swearing or saying nasty things in general will have their posts edited and be given a warning.
* We will not allow inappropriate images - pornography, vulgar or otherwise offensive - anywhere on these forums, and such will be removed and the user responsible will be banned.
* Spam WILL be deleted and the offending user banned.
* Treat our members the same way you'd like to be treated. We will not tolerate harassment in any way either on the forums or in PMs. If you are being mistreated by another member, please report it to a member of staff.
* Fanfictions, RPs and the like should be at most rated PG. Users caught posting such that are more mature will be asked to remove them. They make Fanfiction.net for a reason.
Posting
* Please make sure you are posting in the right forum - for example, if you are posting a fan fiction, the thread goes in the Fan Fiction section of the Fan Area, but not in the General Discussion section. If you are not sure, please allow a member of staff to review it and place it in the right section.
* Do not make multiple threads about the same subject, as this clogs up the forums. If you're after something, please search for posts about it before posting your own.
* Do not double post. If you have difficulty posting a message due to a slow connection or a timeout for example, please refresh.
* Birthday threads are allowed, but not encouraged for members who are sadly inactive. They must always be in the Off Topic board.
* Bumping is allowed only if you need to make an important reply to an old thread. Other than that, it is greatly discouraged.
* Please make your posts as legible as possible. Avoid chat speak like "i rele lik dis" and "c u l8r!!!!" and excessive use of letters, exclamation marks and other forms of punctuation.
Copyright
* At present, the full Count Duckula series is available on DVD in the UK and there are releases available in Germany, USA, Mexico and Australia. Do not ask for downloads of episodes in any language [eg. torrents, Megauploads etc], or warez in general. Such posts will be locked and possible removed.
* At the minute, I will allow the sharing of comic and magazine scans only, because unlike the episodes, these are very hard to obtain, especially the British comics.
Avatars, Signatures and Banners
* Avatars can be linked off-site [Photobucket is highly recommended for this!], but please make sure they don't exceed the maximum size of 100x100 pixels.
* Signatures must not exceed the maximum of 6 lines.
* Banners are allowed but must not exceed the maximum size of 500x100 pixels. They must also not exceed 100KB in size, for the benefit of users on slow connections.
Other image rules
* Ideally, we'd like no more than 5 images posted, but if you must post more, then please warn us that the post will be image heavy. This is for the absolute benefit of those with slow connections.
* Also, please keep the resolution of your images to a reasonable size - 600px on either side maximum. Anything bigger than that will cause page distortion which isn't a very nice thing. If you must show anything bigger, then please link to it.
Linking to videos and sounds
* Posting links to Duckula related videos and sounds [e.g rare content, dubs etc], along with not so related videos on sites such as Youtube and Google video, are fine, but please do not link to anything that we may find inappropriate or offensive [see "Keep it clean!"]. Do not link to full episodes that are easily downloadable.
Most importantly, have fun! ;D
