    We want to maintain an open community here, but we do have a few general rules that everyone should follow.

    Please also note that periodically, new rules are added or existing rules are modified.

    1. GENERAL CONDUCT
    There is zero tolerance for behavior that makes other members feel offended or uncomfortable. This is a community for Yoon Eun Hye fans and it's our goal to foster a friendly atmosphere.

    1. Always remain civil in your discussions and show respect to others.
    2. No profanity or cursing.
    3. No bashing. This is a forum for YEH fans. Please don't post if you just want to bash her. There is a difference between constructive criticism and bashing.

    2. POSTING

    1. NO SPAMMING. Examples include posts irrevelant to the topic at hand, one-liners that don't contribute anything to the topic, advertising, etc.
    2. DO NOT START DUPLICATE THREADS. When starting new threads, make sure a similar one doesn't already exist. Duplicate threads can't be merged (yet) and will be deleted.
    3. REMAIN ON TOPIC. Within threads, please stay on topic. If you want to discuss another topic, post in the appropriate thread or start a new one. Off-topic posts can't be moved (yet) and will be deleted.
    4. DO NOT QUOTE IMAGES. Remove image tags ([img][/img]) when quoting. Images slow down the page and if you're quoting, the image is already shown in the original post.
    5. DO NOT DOUBLE POST. If you are the last poster in a thread and you want to add more, edit your last post instead of adding a new post. If a mod is feeling nice, they will merge your posts, otherwise they may just delete double posts. Exceptions include splitting large image galleries or if the last post is yours but it's older than a week. Even in these cases, moderators will use their discretion and may merge double posts.
    6. POST IN ENGLISH. This is an international fansite and English is the designated language. We can't moderate posts in languages we don't understand. If you post in a foreign language, please provide translations.
    7. NO NET SPEAK OR LEET SPEAK. Write your posts properly so that people can read them.
    8. Images should always be attributed to the original source, preferably with a link. Unless you are the originator of the image, a credit should always be included.
    9. When using image hosting services, please use one that doesn't strip or reduce image quality. ImageShack.us is a good option.
    10. Do not use link-forwarders or file-hosting services that help you make money based on clicks. Such links will be deleted.

    3. TAGGING

    1. Add relevant tags to topics. Try to use tags that are already available and minimize the number of tags you use. If in doubt, don't add tags at all. An admin or moderator will add them.
    2. Don't just add random tags. Irrelevant tags constitutes a form of spamming.
    3. There is no need to add a "Yoon Eun Hye" tag as everything on the forum has to do with YEH by default.

    4. DISPLAY NAMES / USERNAMES

    1. Do NOT spoof your username and impersonate someone else! Doing this will be grounds for an immediate ban.

      This forum allows you use a "display name" that is different from your username. Your username must be all lowercase so some people may want to use a display name with capitals and spaces. However, do not ever change your display name to match someone else's display name.

    5. ANNOUNCEMENTS FORUM

    1. Do NOT start new topics in the Announcements forum unless you are an admin or moderator. You may reply to existing topics to express your opinion or give feedback but do not start new topics.

    6. SHIPPING

    1. Everyone has a different opinion about who YEH should be with. You may start shipping threads, but keep things respectful. Other people may not share your views, so do not try to impose your opinions on others. If you disagree, then don't participate in shipping threads! Do NOT bash other people just because they disagree with you.
    2. Do NOT bring shipping into other threads unless it has something to do with a drama's fictional characters or actual reported news.

    It's a slippery slope but if things get out of hand, we will not allow any shipping at all.

    7. SIGNATURES

    1. Maximum of 4 lines.
    2. Each line must be short enough that it doesn't wrap.
    3. Font size for lines cannot exceed size 3.
    4. Empty line still counts as a line.
    5. Do not add additional dividers or separators in your signature.
    6. Maximum of 2 banners/images and they must be on the same line.
    7. Maximum dimensions for each banner/image = 400 pixels (width) x 150 pixels (height).
    8. Maximum file size for each banner/image = 50KB (51,200 bytes)

    Side Note: There are signature limitations because large signatures are too instrusive and break the flow of the topic. We want to focus on the content of the posts, not the signatures. Large signature images also slow down the loading of the page.

    8. VIDEOS

    1. Do not post inappropriate videos like adult-oriented and violent videos.
    2. Do not start a new topic just for a video. You may start a new topic if a relevant topic doesn't already exist.
    3. If a video is posted on this site's Youtube channel, similar/identical videos posted in the forums may be replaced or removed.
    4. Do not use this forum to advertise your Youtube channel (i.e. "subscribe to my channel!") or make your video posts feel spammy.

    WARNINGS

    A warning system will be implemented fairly soon, so I wanted to lay out some general guidelines as to when a moderator might warn you.

    What can you get warnings for?

    1. Offensive/abusive comments and profanity.
    2. Repeated violations of any of the POSTING rules above, despite notices from moderators.
    3. Repeated violations of the SIGNATURES rules above, despite notices from moderators.
    4. Deliberate impersonation of another user by copying their display name.
    5. Any content the majority of users/moderators find very objectionable.

    When a member receives 5 warnings, they will be banned from the forums for 1 month. This temporary ban is triggered automatically after 5 warnings. Each warning expires after 1 month.

    Warnings will be rare, since moderators will be extremely lenient in giving out warnings and will often just notify people they are breaking certain rules. But when members repeatedly ignore rules and moderator notices, then a moderator will issue a warning.

    To receive a temp ban, a member essentially needs to get 5 warnings within a 1 month period. Given our leniency with warnings, you'd have to be engaging in ongoing and very objectionable behavior for this to happen. 99.9% of our members would never have to worry about this.

    REPORTS

    Users will soon be able to report objectionable posts to moderators as well. However, reports do NOT automatically result in warnings. This is simply a way to draw our attention to something we might have missed. Moderators will exercise their judgement in determining whether reports are valid and merit disciplinary action.

    Reporting will be implemented on a trial basis. If we receive many invalid reports, this option may be disabled.
