-------------------------------------------------------------------------
General Rules
1) Please respect each other. Debate is welcome but no personal insults. No 'flaming' (blatant attacking). If someone has broken a rule or offended you, report them and let staff deal with it.
2) Keep things tidy. In most cases it is best if you Edit your already existing post in a thread, rather than double post. Please try to post in the correct forum section based on the descriptions.
3) Bumping. of old topics is allowed. Please understand that you will need to be patient when waiting for replies. If there is an old topic already talked for your subject feel free to post there, no matter how old it is.
6) Do not spam. Going off-topic is OK though. If the off-topic aspect of the thread becomes particularly long, the thread may be split by staff to the Off-Topic section, just so you know.
7) Do not flood. Flooding is when you repeatedly post content that offers no contribution to the forum in an effort to push all relevant topics/posts aside etc.
8) Be kind to new people. Post count and other statistics is not a measure of ability and should not be used as a form of judgement.
9) No explicit adult content (e.g. porn etc.) is allowed.

Discussion of Alien 9 (Classroom Gossip Sections)
1) As said, debate is welcome, I expect that most people who decide to post here will be fans but even if someone isn't exactly a fan of Alien 9 and comes along to debate about negative aspects they saw in the series, let's all be civil about it. Attacking people with a different view won't help promote this series but will turn them away.

Creative Works (Chalkboard Sections)
1) When posting your own works, if you don't want any (constructive) criticism then please clearly state as such so that there isn't any confusion and therefore no room for offense.
2) When posting the works of other people please be sure that you credit the original creator of the work.
3) For those wishing to offer criticism to help improve the work of the artist/writer/creator then please be sure to make your advice constructive.

There are quite a few default Alien 9 related avatars I added to choose from by simply going to your Profile and scrolling near the bottom to the Avatar section and selecting Show Gallery, then have fun choosing.
