Forum policies
Before contributing to the our forums, please keep in mind a few best practices for conduct:

Note: Full rules can be found on our rules page.


 * All rules from General Rules.
 * Unless the owner of the post says so, stay on topic with the post you're on.
 * The only place you're automatically allowed to get off topic is on the Fun and Games board.
 * Do not post extra long theories in article page comments.
 * When posting on the forums, post in the section that the post most fits with.
 * If you feel like disagreeing with somebody, do it in a polite way, don't hurt their feelings, or post anything rude.
 * Do not argue, fight, etc.
 * Do not ship-bash, character-bash, episode-bash, etc. This can be disrespectful, and generally leads into arguments.
 * Do not use all capital letters when posting your comments. This implies you're screaming, which isn't respectful.

Forum FAQ
How do I stay on top of discussions I'm interested in?
 * With a Wikia user account, you can follow specific conversations and then receive notification messages (either on-site or via email) when a discussion has more activity. Be sure to sign up for a Wikia account if you don't already have one.

How do I remove vandalism?
 * If you notice some spam or vandalism on a thread, hover your mouse over the offending text. You'll see a "More" button appear. Inside the "More" menu, you'll find "Remove". This will allow you to remove the vandalism and optionally inform an admin.

What are Kudos?
 * If you find a particular discussion or reply interesting, well thought out, or amusing you can show direct appreciation by giving it Kudos. They can be helpful in voting situations, too.

What are Topics?
 * Topics allow you to link a forum discussion with a wiki article. It's another way to keep Forums organized and to help people find interesting discussions. For example, a Forum thread tagged with "Lord Voldemort" will appear at the bottom of the "Lord Voldemort" article.
