We're hoping to make a space for Act 8 fans which is inclusive and safe, without being too strict about what manner of fun goes on within. However, certain common sense rules will be in place; this is meant to make things easier for everyone.
1. Keep it PG-13. You can swear and curse, but don't take things too far. Don't be needlessly crude or overtly sexual. Don't post NSFW images. Use an NSFW tag if you ever link to such offsite content, and if you do link it, make sure it's for a good reason. We are bound to have minors who read Act 8, and this is intended to be a space for every fan.
2. Be polite. Flaming is not allowed. Period. Not in PM's, and not in public. We can't control what people do and say off this board, but people who are known to be impolite and inflammatory might receive warnings to keep it clean on here. You're welcome to disagree and argue, but if you can't get along, you will be separated.
3. Be considerate. Some people have a genuine attachment to their favorite characters. Sensitivity regarding each character in the story is required. This doesn't mean you can't talk and rage about how they were treated in canon or by the fandom, but try not to post anything inflammatory against other fans. "I can't believe Hussie screwed Vriska over like that" is acceptable, "Eridan is the worst character and everyone who likes him is bad" is NOT.
4. No disruptive behavior. This work is for fans, by fans, and this is meant to be a positive space. Criticism is strongly encouraged, but being pedantic, argumentative, or generally being an inhibition of discussion and the light friendly atmosphere intended for this forum, will be met with moderation. The reason for this is that a good ending for every character is bound to draw the attention of people who hate certain characters. We will not be tolerating trolling or being intentionally disruptive. You can argue, you can get passionate, but you cannot deliberately make people uncomfortable.
5. Off topic threads go in the Off Topic Discussion board. Some socializing in on topic threads is fine, but if you want to start an entirely new thread about a subject unrelated to Homestuck or Act 8, please do so in the Off Topic Discussion sub-board, which is located inside the Blood & Breath aspect board. If you want to chat about your day, share cute pictures of your dog, or ask for book recommendations, this is the place for it! The rest of the forum rules still apply here, including Rule 1. Keep it PG-13.
6. Protect the clown. Gamzee is love, Gamzee is life.
