Welcome to the THE-OWI.COM forums.
Hi there, and welcome to THE OWI, a forum destination for those of you who would like to discuss NBC's popular series Heroes.
There are many people using this board, so please make sure you take a moment to read the rules BEFORE you start posting.
Ignoring the rules will get you warned. Repeatedly doing so will get you banned.
THE RULES OF THIS SITE:
1) This one's simple, but just to keep things clear: Treat your fellow posters with respect. Any insults, even couched, will result in a warning and/or a forum ban. If you feel someone is harrassing you, report the post. Do not fight back, or you could get a warning yourself.
2) Posts with the sole purpose of spamming will be deleted. Use your own judgement on this...
Anyone caught using our private message system or our userbase in order to harass other members will be banned without warning.
3) Absolutely no profanity or explicit sexual references are allowed on this board.
All content must be PG-13. Gauging what is PG-13 behavior is pretty simple. If you don't see it or hear it on prime time television, it doesn't belong here.
4) We do not allow threats or insinuations of violence toward anyone.
5) Since there are members on this board from a wide range of backgrounds, all posters must refrain from making comments that could ordinarily be construed as sexist, homophobic, ethnocentric, racist, or significantly demeaning any individual or group on the basis of disability, age, political inclinations or religion. What is construed as demeaning or hateful is up to the ultimate discretion of the moderators.
6) OUR SPOILER POLICY: LEAVE THEM AT THE DOOR.
7) Please do not promote or post about illegal downloading on this board. Posters discussing or promoting illegal downloads might find themselves banned without warning.
If your post was edited by a Moderator, DO NOT re-edit out the moderator's changes.
9) IMPORTANT: Leave the moderating to the actual Moderators. DO NOT attempt to "put another poster in his/her place." Even if you're in the right, we prefer instead that you use the Report Post link if you feel that someone is breaking the board rules or if something needs the attention of a Moderator.
10) If you feel you need to discuss a matter with a particular moderator, please do so via PM.
11) Before opening a new thread anywhere on this forum, please be aware that your thread MAY BE DELETED, MOVED, OR MERGED INTO ANOTHER POST if it meets any of the following criteria:
- It has a really vague, irrelevant or egregiously misspelled subject line.
The following are examples:
"Do you think"
"I was wondering"
"One question"
"quick question"
"omg lol okay whatdouthink?!"
- It starts with "I'm not sure this is the right forum in which to post this, but..."
Chances are good that it's the wrong forum. ASK A MODERATOR where it belongs first.
- It abuses punctuation marks.
Examples:
"Heroes Wardrobe?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!"
"HRG.................."
"Are Peter and Simone gonna hook up again?!?!1?????????"
- If it is posted in the wrong forum.
- It is a duplicate of a thread we already have. Please look through at least the last 3 pages of threads to see if your topic is already being discussed.
- It is making a general commentary or merely venting, instead of initiating a discussion.
***************
Helpful Hints For Starting a New Thread:
- Spell all names correctly in the subject line.
- Read through AT LEAST the last 3 pages of posts to make sure there isn't already a thread about your topic. For example, look and find out if there's a "Who is Sylar?" post BEFORE you go and make your own.
- Do not put in extra punctuation marks in the subject line
- Use proper spelling and capitalization in your posts.
- Capitalize all proper nouns and at least the first word in the subject line
- BE SURE that your thread is in the proper sub-forum.
