Welcome to the Minitokyo Forums!
If you haven't already, please be sure to read the Policy and the FAQ. ^_^
Participating in Threads
+The Search box is your friend
Before creating a new thread, do some searches to make sure that an active thread does not already exist for a
particular topic. As many topics have been discussed before in the forums, it is highly likely that a thread already
exists on any particular topic.
+Posting
There is a 10 character minimum for forum posts, which shouldn’t be hard if you put some thought into your post. Posts
consisting solely of emoticons or other excessive symbols will be deleted. Additionally, posts that have nothing to do
with the topic at hand will be deleted as they are encountered.
+Old and inactive threads
If a thread has not had any new posts in over four weeks, it can be considered inactive and a new thread can be opened
on the same topic. Additionally, please do not post in such threads if you do not have anything new to add to the discussion. And especially if the subject is outdated. (Example:
Spoiler threads for completed series-- technically they're not spoilers anymore)
+Language
The language of the forums is English. Please use it. Additionally, as we do have a lot of younger members, please try
to keep it clean and refrain from excessive swearing. (This goes for the ShoutBox as well...)
+Tolerance
When you are in a community with so many people from different backgrounds, it is inevitable that you will see opinions
that will be different from your own. Remember that there is more than one way to view any particular issue, and that
everyone is entitled to their own opinions.
+Offensive comments
Please try to treat your fellow members with respect, and refrain from personal attacks. Additionally, we do have among
us a number of younger members, so please use your common sense when posting. Think: Is
this something I would want my little brother/sister/cousin to read?
Consequences
Breaking these rules may lead to Muting, or in extreme cases Banning. Please be sure to follow them!
Questions and Concerns
If you feel that a particular post or thread goes against the Minitokyo Policy, FAQ, or the guidelines outlined here, please use the Report link. Please be as detailed as possible because the more detailed you are, the better we will be able to help you. ^_^
Sincerely,
fireflywishes, your friendly Forum Moderator
