The following rules are designed to enhance forum enjoyment for all posters, while maintaining a standard of decorum:
1. Think before you post.
2. Trolls, solicitors, etc. are not allowed.
3. Be respectful of others. We all have our own perspectives and opinions, and we won't agree with others all of the time. Please be mindful that we are all entitled to our own opinions. Refrain from insults.
4. Do not bombard others with your opinions. It is okay to disagree with others and to say so, however, once you have stated your opinion, let it be. It is unnecessary to state your opinion repeatedly in the same thread.
5. Absolutely no bashing of William will be tolerated in any way, shape or form. This should go without saying. This includes any and all aspects of William and his personal and professional life. Note: There is a difference between bashing and constructive criticism. Constructive criticism is allowed, but only if it is minor and not incessent. (For example, saying "I do not care for the role that he played in that tv show" or "I did not like that episode" is fine, and so is giving a reason why). When in doubt, ask the board administrator or a moderator before posting.
6. No "shipping" of William and any of his co-stars. William is in a committed relationship. Any comments suggesting that he should be or is with someone else are flat-out disrespectful to William and his family. Leave the fantasy shipping to fanfiction, and save it for William's characters.
7. No posts reporting or discussing tabloid matters. Keep the filth out of here. There is too much inaccuracy and flat-out lies when it comes to the tabloids.
8. Threads should stay on-topic. It is understandable that discussions can go off on tangents, as conversations naturally progress. If this happens, please get back on topic. Purposely hijacking threads is not allowed.
9. Do not double post. If you have something else to say, and nobody has posted after you, please use the edit feature on your original post. If a couple of days or more have gone by, then it is okay to double post.
10. Do not tell others what they should or should not be posting. That is the job of the Moderators and Administrator. If you have an issue or problem with something someone has posted, please pm a Moderator or Administrator. Merely disagreeing is not an adequate reason to report someone to a Moderator or Administrator. If someone has violated a forum rule or if you find something they posted to be truly offensive, please pm a Moderator or Administrator, and we will do our best to respond in a timely manner.
The current forum Administrator is: Melanie
There are currently no forum moderators
*Note: The Administrator and Moderators of this forum cannot be here 24/7. This is a hobby for all of us, and we all lead busy lives. We will do our best to respond to all pm's in a timely manner. Please be patient. We are not ignoring you.
11. No "I sent you a pm" or "Check your pm's" posts or anything like them. It is the responsibility of each member of this forum to check their pm's when they are logged-in. The entire forum does not need to know that any member sent another member a pm at any given time.
12. Please post in English. I understand and appreciate that William has fans from all over the world, however currently I (Melanie) only speak English, and can only moderate the forum effectively if all posts are in English. Spanish and all other languages may be used, but only if an English translation is provided as well within the same post.
13. Abide by all additional rules and guidelines established in other sections of this forum.
14. New rules may be added at any time. Please check the news fader on the main page for any new rule announcement.
