Just so we can have all the site policies in a place where they are easily findable, here are the site policies for any new members, or members who are just curious. Don't worry.....it's nothing shocking or anything like that. Even if you think you know all the policies, why not give it a read?
Level 1 Offenses
These would be minor or less serious offenses that would result in a warning from the admins. If these behaviors repeatedly continue though, it would be a higher offense.
1. Posting Illegal Links to Sites NOT licensed by CN and/or WB
This could be anything from Youtube to Watch Cartoons Online. Some things on Youtube can be OK, if it's not a direct link to an episode or it was licensed by CN or WB. As we've said before, it's a legal area the site doesn't want to be involved with.
2. Hostility Toward Others
This would be posting snarky, mean, or just plain disrespectful responses to another person's posts.
3. Major Public Arguments
Minor arguments are OK on the forum. However, if you have an major argument with a member, please do it in private such as in pm or email. It can be disruptive to the forum to engage in long, drawn out arguments with other members, and it can make other members uncomfortable. This could be to a member or an admin. Any major arguments on the forum that are disruptive will result in the thread being locked and any members involved getting a warning.
Level 2 Offenses
These are more serious offenses and can get you a final warning or even a temporary ban (the length of the ban will be decided by the admins due to the seriousness of the offense).
1.Links to inappropriate sites
Any links to inappropriate sites (sites with vulgar language or inappropriate content) will be deleted and the member who posted it will get a warning.
2.Minor Harassment
Any members found to be harassing another member (whether through pm or on the public forum)will get a temporary ban. "I was just kidding around" or "It was a joke" are NOT excuses
3. Inappropriate Posts
Any post found to be innapropriate or with vulgar language will be deleted and the member will get a warning.
4. Repetitive Behaviors
Any members breaking any site policies repeatedly will be banned. Even if it's a Level 1 offense, and you do it multiple times, you could possibly be banned depending on the severity of the offense.
5. Bothering Members
Please don't try to bug members or get on people's nerves. We've had some trouble with this when a member was constantly bugging other members to give them images of certain episodes....and trust me, it got old pretty quick. So, long story short.... don't bug other members.
Level 3 Offenses
These offenses will get you a permanent ban from the forum.
1. Major Harassment
Any members found to be harassing another member majorly will get a permanent ban. There are NO excuses for harassment, and you will be banned immeadiately.
2. Spamming/Solicitation
Any members found to be spamming or soliciting (this includes asking members to buy you things and ship them to your house, which members have done) will be banned permanently.
3. Hacking
Don't hack into the forum and change content. Enough said.
4. Threats
Absolutely no threats on the forum. You will be banned if you are found to be threating anyone on this forum.
5. This forum is not a dating site
Any member posting private information about yourself or anyone else for the purposes of dating is not allowed on the forum. This will result in a permanent banning. This may seem like a very strange rule.....but anyone who's been on the forum for a few years will know it has happened.
6. Vulgar or Demeaning Language
This forum has zero tolerance for sexism, racism, anti-gay/lesbian or demeaning language. Any member found to be posting this in attempt to purposely offend a member will be permanently banned.
7. Spam Links
Any member posting links with viruses/malware in them will be banned permanently.
