Morty's TV Fan Forums Posting Rules


Recommended Posts

 

For over a decade, Morty's TV has provided free and open forums each summer for discussing Big Brother and the Houseguests.  Big Brother is a game that sirs strong emotions and opinions in fans as well as the contestants.  Please make sure you are familiar with the Forum Posting Rules and abide by them as you enjoy this open and (relatively) uninhibited platform for discussing Big Brother.

We want to make Morty's TV Forums a pleasant place for TV fans to hang out with each other. In order for this to happen effectively, it would be greatly appreciated if you read the rules before posting, so that you are aware of what we allow and do not allow.

 

Spamming is characterized by the initiation of threads or posts that contribute nothing to a forum, be it off topic or on topic. Examples include: empty posts, posts with few words that have no relation to the current thread or discussion and those posts that state they are spam, either to annoy or increase a member's post count. This determination is made by the forum Moderator or Administrator and is not up for discussion. Affiliate links give posters an unfair advantage over others. As well, affiliate links may lead to false representation simply in the effort to gain a lead or referral. Therefore, Affiliate links will be modified or deleted.

 

No Warez or Illegal Software or Adult links: This includes linking to illegal downloads of not only software but copyrighted images that must be purchased. It also includes movies and other items being illegally distributed.

 

Language: The use of common language is allowed in these forums for the purpose of quoting houseguests in the commentaries of Big Brother. If an author spells it "sh!t" is it any cleaner? While profanity, when used properly, is an effective way of conveying emotion and/or thoughts, when abused it can be detrimental and offensive. Please keep your use of "common language" to a minimum, keep in mind that we do have young people browsing these forums. Excessive profanity will be deleted; continued abuse will result in loss of posting privileges.

 

Be Respectful: No Flames! Flames are considered a deliberate personal attack on another member or group of members. Having a difference of opinion is fine but try not to let it get out of hand. If it turns into a fight to get the biggest jab at the other person, then it has gone too far.

If you are a long-standing member, act like one. Lead by example and assist other newer members rather than attacking them. We look upon our veteran members to use this opportunity to teach the newer members the appropriate way to use these message boards.

Treat new members with respect and vice versa. You were new at one point, as was everyone else. Please treat newcomers to the forums with respect and new members should treat everyone else the same way.

 

Stay on Topic: Posts in a particular forum need to try and stay on topic. If you want to talk about something that is drastically removed from the topic of a forum, please do it by private messages.

 

Signatures: Images are not permitted in signatures to speed up page loading times. However images are still active in posts and may be used only when necessary. Signatures may only be 255 characters in length and may not include URLs to other sites. If you want to promote your web site, you can put your site's address in your profile. If your signature violates our guidelines, it will be modified without notice.

 

No Role Playing: (Ex. the Big Brother Ehouses game or Flop-House threads that were once hosted here). Please do not use this forum for role-playing games. It's a great concept, but it didn't work and disrupted the forum. Please check the forum index (here: Forum Index - Click Here ) to see if there is another forum dedicated to that type of game.

 

Enjoy yourself! You can have a great time posting and we look forward to your feedback.

 

Morty's TV Forums Administrators and Moderators reserve the right to change or alter these rules at any time. Anything not expressly covered in these rules is subject to an Administrator/Moderator's approval. An Administrator and/or Moderator
