All Sections
Language should be kept minimal in these sections, especially considering that these sections are some of the more likely for a younger audience to be posting. Any abuse of vulgar language will result in a deletion of the post and a warning sent via Private Message. If the language persists, then the account will be warned. Further punishment using banning will occur if the language cannot be cut down.
.:Sourcing Information:.
All Sections
When posting in these sections of the Entertainment forum a user may ponder “How do they know that?” This is a good place to show your research and discuss your sources on certain information, such as a rumored video game, when a book is being released, etc.
Please post the appropriate url in the thread. If I follow the link and find that it leads to a pornographic site, a warning will be given directly to the account at fault. If I follow the link and find that it leads elsewhere than where it was stated that it would lead, a Private Message will be sent to the account, warning them about their dishonest actions. Both actions will result in a deletion of the post. Further punishment will be taken if necessary.
.:Links:.
All Sections
When linking things in these sections – such as a source or an image of a character or cover – I want these links to lead to where you state that they will be leading to. I don’t want to be lead elsewhere, or to a pornographic site.

Television, Movie, Music, and Video Game Rules
When showing a YouTube video, you may only show one per post – this does not mean that you may double post here. If the video is inappropriate in nature I will delete your post and warn your account.
Videos that are okay to show are the following:
Book and Manga and Comic Rules
There should be no reason for a YouTube link to ever show up in either of these sections, so I had better not see one. If I find a YouTube video shown in a thread in either of these sections, the post will be deleted and a Private Message will be sent to warn the user. If this happens again, the user will have a warning given to their account, followed by a two day ban, then a week long ban, then a month long ban.
The bans start at the third offense.
