A Friendly Guide To The Forums

Welcome to Fans United for SatAM (or FUS for short) Message Board. This board is for all Sonic fans, although we prioritize over the Saturday morning Sonic cartoon involving Sonic, Sally and the Freedom Fighters in the struggle against Dr. Robotnik. As with any message board, we have rules of conduct that are expected of our members in order to keep the board a fun place to be. Below are the rules or the forum. We require that you read and follow these simple yet very necessary guidelines in order to make your experience on this board as enjoyable as possible. We look forward to getting to know you.

================================================================

What Not To Post

1. Spam

Pretty obvious. Don't Spam the forums.

2. Crazily Off Topic

We can't stop, nor do we want to stop, the natural progression of discussion, even if it takes the comments away from the original topic. But that's not the same as posting something completely irrelevant, without any sort of build-up. Please at least try to keep comments relevant. Of course there are certain topics that are meant for random purposes. 1000 Pages Or Bust for example.

3. Offensive Language

Sometimes there are topics that in themselves aren't offensive, but which can lead to hurtful or offensive language in the comments. Any kind of racist, homophobic, or a outright attack on a person's beliefs is probably the quickest way to banville on here. Now I understand people joke about some of these things and if both parties involved take it that way its fine. However if you downright attack someone you will be banned.

In addition, try to refrain from attacking other commenters in ways that are particularly disrespectful or offensive. I know sometimes the guy who commented above you is just such a total idiot that you need to let him know, but please try to attack arguments and not people.

4. wut up g? I b c-n u l8

Posts are to be in English. Its alright if you aren't the best in spelling, or if you speak a foreign language to begin with. Just make it legible. This isn't a instant chat program or a next message.

5. Warez and Illegalities

Do not post Warez (illegal program downloads.). Do not post links to pirated TV episodes. Do not share links to issues of the comics and do not post ROM links, overall--- don't do anything that could be deemed illegal, either publicly or through PM. YOU CAN tell people HOW to find such things, for example: You can search for SatAM Episodes on Youtube or You can go find issues of the comic if you really need to on a bit torrent tracker, but you may not lead them directly to the source.

6. Creative Works

We love artists here. In fact so much so we have a section dedicated to the posting of art, including a Gallery system! With that said do not post stolen art, stolen fiction or other such works. If it is proven you stole art (this includes: replacing your name on another's work, tracing without giving due credit, or otherwise just posting credit towards someone else when you post art or creative works), this is an instant, permanent ban. Art and other creative works must also be yours

There you have it. Mostly just the same ol' rules just tweaked up a little bit. Saw rules on another site that were similar so I kinda took some of theirs and tweaked it to fit us.
