See Fan Club Rules [Updated] in both FC sections. (B. Haddrell)




Updated Fan Club Rules.

* All fan clubs must be made and submitted as you would any other post however in the fan clubs forums it will be viewed by a mod before it is either allowed or rejected.

* Stay on topic, as related to the character/pairing of your fan club.

* Before making a fan club do a search and make sure that one doesn't already exist. If a fan club owner has been inactive for 3 months you may take over ownership of an FC. Please make a new FC with the same version number as the current inactive FC but add NEW to the title.

* If a fan club owner is inactive in an FC but active on BA and you want to take over the FC, seek their permission via vm or pm first.

* NO ANTI FC WILL BE APPROVED. This could result in an instant ban on the first offence.

* If you go over 1000 posts, be warned that posts after 1000 will be deleted.

* FC owners cannot make specific rules that must be followed, you are not mods. If there are problems in your FC click the report post button or PM a moderator.

* We do allow country FC's but these are basically so that people from the same country can socialize and get to know each other and arrange possible meetings in their community. We do not allow FC's for specific towns/states etc please stick to the country FC's. If you are caught bashing members in another language in your country FC you will be banned.

* If you do not like a pairing DO NOT read or post in that pairing FC. If you have an issue with something said in a fan club, use the report button or PM a mod, DO NOT take it into your own hands or start a war. This could result in an temp ban with no warning at the mods discretion.

* Do not discuss other pairings in your pairing fan club OR characters from a rival paring not apart of your paring. The FC should only discuss the specified pairing or character. This will be handled with quickly at the mods discretion. Posts will be deleted without warnings. Single/Multiple offenses could result in a temp ban without warning, depending on the severity and frequency. These rules apply to everyone on the forums, including owners and co-owners of fan clubs.

* Neg reps to rival pairing FC posts won't be tolerated. I consider this being in an FC of a pairing you don't like therefore breaking a rule. There are no warnings for this, this is a ban-able offense on the first time.

Added:

* The banner-size is up to the owner (but please don't make it too big)

* You may only own 5 FC's
(this is to ensure every FC get's the dedication it needs)



Added for clarification by B. Haddrell:

You may only own 5 FCs. This means 5 single character and pairing FCs in total.

Anyone who wants to join a fan club may do so by posting in that club and requesting membership. There is no limit to how many fan clubs you may join.

Owners and co-owners: Fan clubs should have active, involved owners who work to create a welcoming atmosphere for members.
  • Responsibilities of the owner: The owner’s job is to maintain the membership list and guide the discussion. When a fan club reaches 1000 posts, the owner should submit a new version and ask a mod to close the old one. Please do NOT start a fan club if you know that you will be unable to take care of it for any reason.

    Responsibilities of the co-owner: Co-owners should be active and involved in their fan clubs. If the owner becomes inactive, the co-owners should try to contact the owner. If the owner does not respond within a reasonable amount of time, then co-owners may ask forum staff to update the membership list.

    If the owner is temporarily absent, the co-owners should keep track of new membership requests and send a VM of the list to the owner. If the owner does not respond or make updates within one month, co-owners may then ask forum staff to update the membership list. Co-owners should not ask moderators to make updates without trying to contact the owner first.

    Owners may choose co-owners at their discretion. There is no limit to how many co-owners a club may have.

The rules have been tweaked a bit. Please be sure you are aware of the changes. As always, if you have a question about the rules, please ask a moderator or administrator.

Co-owners: Please remember that if your club's owner becomes inactive for more than a month, you need to collate the names of those who request club membership and send that list to forum staff.

Please be sure to contact the owner before contacting forum staff to add updates.

~~~~~

If you have created a new club or a new version of a club, please DO NOT create multiple versions because you don't see your first submission yet. All fan clubs are approved by forum staff, but we don't always notice the new ones right away.

That said, clubs are *usually* approved within 72 hours. If, however, you don't see your club listed after 72 hours, you should definitely send us a VM.
