Board Thread:News and Announcements/@comment-4450205-20170613170514

Hello, everyone. This blog has been a long time coming, but I'm going to be going listing a few rules that have been discussed over the past month or so.

For starters, complaining comments are allowed, but if it becomes excessive, then action will be taken. First offense is a warning, second 3 days ban, third 2 weeks, fourth permanent.

Next, due to popular vote, admins and discussion mods will now be deleting comments saying "Deleted" for the reason of author request.

Now onto some character gallery guidelines:

What is allowed:


 * Pictures depicting actual scenes of the character in their episode or the sprite/model used in the animation of their Death Battle.
 * Pictures referring to famous feats or events involving the character that were mentioned in their Death Battle, such as Bane breaking the Bat.
 * For characters with multiple forms, one picture of each form used in their Death Battle. If the character has more than 15 forms, no more than 15 can be shown.
 * For pages consisting of multiple characters in one duo or team, a picture for each notable team member, like the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, a single picture of each ranger and their zords.
 * 1 picture for each of a character's core weapons used or mentioner in their Death Battle, with a max of 15 weapons.
 * Pictures of a character's ridiculous feats mentioned in a Death Battle, such as Lex Luthor stealing 40 cakes (if a Death Battle isn't out yet, wait for episode's public release to post these images).
 * Pictures depicting the origina of a notable reference in Death Battle, such as a panel of Iron Man's playing human quote to Daredevil that inspired his similar quote to Lex Luthor.

What's not allowed:


 * Pictures of the character from multiple media they have been in.
 * Pictures of the character doing nothing with no context.
 * Pictures of character's alternate forms, weapons, or feats that were not mentioned in their episode of Death Battle (if an episode isn't released, then the pictures can remain until the episode is open for public discussion, one hour after its Youtube release).

Next up, we need a formal list of chat rules to follow. We've been lacking them for some time, and we need to create a list as chat becomes more popular

Some ideas I and Faxinnh had:


 * Flaming, complaining, spamming, and pornographic rules remain the same.
 * Death threats are an instant, permanent ban without warning.
 * Spoiling an episode is a week long ban without warning.
 * Posting connections to a fight in public chat are block-text, so they are only allowed in PM or in public chat if everyone in the chat allows it. Posting without an active chatter's consent counts as spam.
 * VS debating is allowed in chat, but it must remain civil.
 * Role playing is allowed in public chat, but only if everyone in the chat agrees to it. If someone gets tired, it must move to PM or stop. First offense is warning, second is kick, third is 2 hour ban, fourth and onward are 3 day bans with potential of longer depending on severity of the problem.

That should be all for now. If you guys have any suggestions or objections to the chat rules, please voice your thoughts down below.

tl;dr: New rules, especially on image galleries, looking for a chat rule list and accepting recommendations.

Until next Time
