    To do list;

    Make thread
    Compose Charter
    Fill with rules in a humorous fashion - not as humorous though
    steal stuff from other charters
    Lock thread
    Think of a mod for forum

    Ok 3 down, 2 to go.
    Glee Forum

    Please familiarise yourself with these rules before posting in the forum. If you do not like or do not agree with the rules, then simply do not post on the forum BUT please do, we would love to have you here.
    • The forum is based on mutual respect, and as such please treat all other posters with due courtesy and respect.
    • If you have issues with a post or a thread, please use the Report Post function to let us know. All you have to do is press this button beside each post - report.gif - and we will look at it. Please do not retalliate to the post as this will get you into trouble as well. You can contact Boards.ie by using the contact page - http://www.boards.ie/contact
    • Do not link to material which may be offensive to others
      - Includes SPOILERS,hotlinks, pictures or videos of episodes.
      - Covers Porn, links to download episodes, games etc. etc.
      - Material which may be offensive to Gleeks.
    • Try not to slag off other peoples love of particularly cheesy songs
    • Misbehaviour will result in an infraction and a banning. Continued misbehaviour will result in a longer or permanant ban. A 3 strike system is in place. 1st offence: Infraction, 2nd offence: temporary ban and 3rd offence permanent ban.
    • No trolling, flaming, fighting, sleazy/inappropriate comments. This will get you an infraction or a ban.
    • If you find any posts offensive, if you notice a "spam" post, or if you notice anyone breaking the above rules, please click the report post button to draw the moderators attention to it.
    • If you feel that any action taken against you by a moderator is unfair, then please feel free to PM the moderators and discuss your issues in a civil manner. If we receive any PMs that we consider to be worded in a hostile/aggressive/abusive manner, we will report them to the admins. If you are unhappy with your polite discussion with the mod go to the Cmod (Me or An Cat Dubh) and we will try settle the issue. If that doesn't work we will forward it to the admins.

    Just for your info people, the use of spoilers and labeling of threads are as follows:

    If for example the thread refers to Season 5 and it refers to the most recent episode broadcast in America it must say US: in the thread title and indicate if it contains spoilers.
    IE:

    US: (this refers to Season 5, up to where it's been broadcast in America)
    UK: (season 5 when it starts in UK, up to the most recent episode)
    S1: (contains discussion on season 1 ONLY)
    S2: (contains discussion on season 2 ONLY)
    *Spoilers* (Contains Spoilers) [Spoilers]
    etc...

    Also as per the Lost forum, Prison Break forum etc.. you're not allowed post ANYTHING about an upcoming episode or series if the thread title doesn't indicate it.

    For example if something is labelled S2, you can't discuss Season 3, 4 or 5, even with spoiler tags.

    This way is better because we can openly discuss the show in the thread without ruining it for others.

    In General discussions that the need arises to say something that will include a spoiler, use the spoiler tag:

    [noparse]
    Your text here
    [/noparse]

    Your text will then look as follows:
    Your text here

    Sparky-s Will :pac:

    Thanks, and we hope you enjoy the forum!

    Good work Will!

    I was thinking. Could we maybe have a "I hate Glee thread" and then send all the really negative pointless stuff there? I think from the forum request there are quite a few people who really don't like it and I'd hate all threads to have posters saying "glee is crap in them". Obviously discussion and critiquing is fine but perhaps we could have a venting thread to give all the really negative stuff in there?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    Or just tell em to fook off? This is a forum for glee and it's admirers. If someone comes into tattoos and piercings giving out about body art they won't be entertained long, likewise here I would imagine.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,532 ✭✭✭Ginja Ninja


    how about enforcing a "spoiler rule" to actually use the spoiler tags for what they were meant for and to save some of the folks who are watching it on terrestrial channels a ruined surprise from those that have seen it online.


    I can haz mod status? wait,did I just jinx it,awww.Oh well maybe next time

    I'm presuming the access thingy will be sorted in the next while - it'll stop coming up saying I'm banned, cos my poor F5 button has been under immense pressure during the week modding a different website, and its was just getting a break cos the website kept going down :D

    *stops banning rebel girl for the lulz* :)

    But yeah permissions should be ironed out by tomorrow morning once the backups have been done. I'm getting the same error messages too :(


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators, Regional Abroad Moderators Posts: 15,183 Mod ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    I'd advise dis-allowing people to link to unofficial sites where you can watch episodes, much like the rule in Pro Wrestling.

    I thought the mods had banned me yesterday!, yabbering on like some 13-year-old girl! :-)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,367 ✭✭✭✭watna


    Will - I'll volunteer to mod if you are still looking for mods. I've a good bit more time at the moment because I've finished studying at the evenings/weekends. Not sure where you are with it at the moment.

    If you want to get an inexperienced/new mod as co-mod I'm happy to show them the ropes too.

    /goes back to listening to Glee soundtrack. It got banned at work and everyone is out at lunch so i can get away with it! :D

    I'd like to be your mod sidekick if I could! :D You Rachel, me Mercedes??? :D:D

    I'd like to be your mod sidekick if I could! :D You Batman, me Robin??? :D:D
    *couldn't think of a better analogy, can someone please give me a better one :D:D

    The Sue to her Shue?? The Finn to her Quinn? At least it's Glee themed!
    If you're still looking for a mod I'd like to volunteer, now that the wedding planning is mostly done I've got much more free time to spend with my friend Boards. (I has friends IRL too honest!)

    Great idea, the Mercedes to her Rachel is another one!

    Tut tut ladies, don't you know the way to remove yourself as a potential mod is to ask for it? :P

    I don't think 3 mods would be needed really. 2 at a stretch.


  • Administrators, Business & Finance Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 16,905 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Toots


    I concur. Two would probably be best, that way there'd always be one to cover if the other was watching TV ;)

    I've just popped in to post up a link to the Glee thread in Ranting and Raving. This will be to save you having to make an anti-Glee thread, and is also a way of deterring trolls.

    Glee in R&R


    And no, I actually don't like Glee. Sorry

    Why all the haters? :eek: - negative nannies :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 410 ✭✭trapsagenius


    You know those of us who know how indisputably atrocious Glee is ?Are we allowed post threads deservedly slagging Glee off?And are we allowed post in other threads criticising its sheer hopelessness?Please allow us, it would mean a lot to all of us Glee-haters to be able to do this.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 21,634 ✭✭✭✭Richard Dower


    ^ maybe give the Glee haters one thread?...mods?, i mean...we should have balance. But just allow them to post in one thread.

    Any further opinions?....i belive people should be able to express all opinions, but not disrupt the overall forum.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,894 ✭✭✭Chinafoot


    Yeah I mentioned in the proposal thread that having a Glee Haters thread would be a good idea. Its a forum for Glee fans so I don't think anyone should have to put up with "Glee is shít, you're all losers" type posts in every thread. One stickied thread would definitely be enough imo.

    The thread in R&R is already full of people who don't like Glee, don't think there is a need to put one here as well - could have a thread entitled "If you don't like Glee", have the link to R&R in the first post and lock the thread??

    I mentioned this in this thread as well. I thought it would be a good idea to allow it but to contain it in one thread. Will posted a response that he didn't think it was necessary. If you don't like Glee, don't post here.

    Why though?What makes Glee above criticism?I don't want to ruin the whole forum, thats why I posted here first, but as far as I'm concerned, Glee is an abomination that needs to be eliminated at the earliest possible opportunity.The fact that anyone likes the show is just repulsive to me.Its a fvcking disgrace.
