Posting Rules and Guidelines, Read this before posting anything!

I welcome everyone who joined this forum. As we all post with our fandom, please do remember that this is a public board and you are not the only one who are posting and reading this forum so please be guided with the rules.

Ignorance is not an excuse not to follow rules.

General Posting Rules

1. No spamming
- As much as possible refrain from one line post just to increase your post count, we admins can lower your post count and refrain users from accessing private contents of this forum.

2. No double post
- It is annoying to see a thread with double posters. Use the edit button to edit your post. If your last post on the same thread is already more than 5 hours and there is still no one posted, it is an exception to the "no double post" rule. It is to keep the board clean.

3. No flaming, extreme bashing, excessive cursing and use of offending words
- Yes you can criticize but criticize on objective way. Please be sensitive to other people posting on the forum. All personal arguments should be settled outside of the forum and in private. Be respectful to other people. Well if you want to be respected, learn how to respect others.

4. Post in the right section
- Download links should be on its proper thread, same as news and info and so on. Also do not make topics when you see that there is already a thread for it like: "Official Questions Thread" and you will make a thread just to ask a question.

5. Use proper English when posting
- It is also annoying when you see letters like this: wElComE to ExIlE FoRuM. Also this is not a chat board so type proper English.

6. No offensive materials on board
- Not all of us are adults so please refrain from posting things not only limited to pornographic images and words but all kinds of offensive things on boards. If you happen to see those please report it to any mod/admin

7. Report any problem or concern to a moderator/admin
- Utilize the private message/report button so that a mod/admin will know your concern and problem

8. Utilize spoiler tags properly
- We have here a spoiler tags

. You can use it if you have very long posts (such as if you are sharing scans with many pages) or if you prefer to hide some information that you think it's a spoiler for others to anticipate for) BUT spoiler tags are not to be abused if you are posting offensive words and flames.

Discussion Posting Rules

1. Credits
- If you are posting news / translations, please put credits to the news site you get the news. If you don't have the links, even the resource person is enough for credits. We don't want to cause some trouble for other people especially those who worked hard to translate things.

2. Be objective
- On the first post for a news, please be objective so that it will make the news appear formal (You don't see a news section in newspaper that has opinions of the reporters). If you really want to say your opinion, make another post for it.

3. No hotlinking
- It is never allowed on all aspects of this board. If you are posting news and wants to post images from your news source, do not hotlink the images links. Instead, upload the images to another server.

4. No posting of download links on discussion threads
- The threads are not created to put on media links. It is to make the forum productive and as the word itself for open discussion. If you will be putting links on discussion link, be sure that it is a streaming link. No direct download links or torrent links

------------

If you follow the rules, there will be no problem and we will all enjoy posting in this forum. Welcome and enjoy posting!

Added New Rules

Signatures

- No more than 450 px (width) by 350 px (height) for images and no more than 10 lines for texts

Quoting (for discussion board only)
- No quoting of images, it's annoying to see the same image across the thread. Remove the image bbcode and just leave the hyperlink. Don't quote large post and just reply with one liners. If you want to reply on one's person's post, you can just put in the name and your message

EXILE Fantasy Forum tries to gather people who wants to discuss AND share things about EXILE, not only leech anonymously or take up space.
Therefore, thinking about the comfort of regular posters, we're sorry to announce that accounts will be warned/ purged/ deleted upon not following a few posting requisites:


1. Accounts with 0 posts (read: counting posts; be sure to check your total post amount and where you post) after a month will be warned/ purged;

2. Accounts with less than 5 posts (read: counting posts; be sure to check your total post amount and where you post) after 3 months of registration will also be warned/ purged;

3. Accounts with no activity in the last 5 months will also be warned/ purged.

So if you don't want to be purged/deleted, please be more active as soon as you join the forum.

Please have in mind
Accounts purging will usually take place on the 23rd of each month, forum's anniversary, so it does matter if you registered on the 22nd or on the 24th. It's a matter of luck.
Not all accounts will get warned before being purged or deleted, though we're usually very thoughtful of that. Too bad, it's also a matter of luck.

Media Section Access

Aside from the 20++ post required for the media section, it also requires a password which changes every month.

So even if you have 20++ post and you are not active (at least 1 post every month), you will not receive the password every month

Send me a PM if you feel you that you won't be active (I can understand whatever reasons you have) and I will give the password to you once you started to be active again

Do not PM me asking for the password. I will be the one who will PM you. The only exception for this is that I forgot to send you a password and you believe you are active on board.
