Hi, my name is Puck. This is my friend. The Out of Character Thread. Treat Him nicely.
The Community Thread serves the following purposes as regards the BA:
1. The discussion of anything BA related such as characters, battles and writing technique
2. Writing in general may be discussed as well. Giving helpful hints about writing style and helping others to improve their writing are very welcome
3. Immersive situations can also be discussed in this thread wher a member may come up with a situation and ask other members to share their opinions or answers to such a situation.
4. Small, fast-moving discussions are best left in a chatroom. Like the EH's Chatroom, for instance. You can find it
here.
Now, beyond that, the OoC Thread also exists for casual chatting and general discussions on any number of topics. Serious discussions are also catered for, as writing often draws from internal reflection. Just remember that this is not the I:SB. The OoC Thread may be somewhat lenient, but that doesn't give you the right to abuse it.
Da Rules
The following rules are non-negotiatable and will be adhered to:
1. Posts that contribute nothing to the discussion will be deleted on-sight.
2. Posting without an approved character is not allowed.
3. Flaming will be severely frowned upon and may lead to an infraction.
4. Blatant sexual content will be met with an immediate infraction.
5. Excessive swearing will be rewarded with an infraction.
6. Evading the swear-filter will warrant a post deletion or editing.
7. Picture plugging is to be kept to a minimum, this is not an image-board. Supply links instead. Only images that are small enough to fit in signatures (about 400 x 150 pixels) will be tolerated, but even so, use them only sparingly when they really are needed for what you are saying and a link will not suffice. The images must follow the
rules for signatures and avatars, meaning that no vulgar or inappropriate content in them will be allowed. There should not be more than one image at most on a page for the sake of those with slower connections.
8. There will be no exceptions or special favours. Those who deserve an infraction will get one,
regardless of gender, status, popularity, pwnsomeness or Councilorship.
9. Mods are expected to fullfil their duties and you as BA'ers must demand that those duties are fullfilled and that any violation of these rules is immediately reported to them.
Overall, this is to be kept family-friendly. Smutty behaviour is not outlawed, of course, but not at the expense of intelligence. We're here to have fun, humour, discuss and socialise. Just don't step out of line.
And your BA Councilors Are...
