Forum Rules and Regulations

[elena.jorges.pro]

1. Be Respectful and Courteous
No Personal Attacks: Disagreeing is fine—attacking or insulting is not. Personal harassment, hate speech, or threats of violence are strictly prohibited.
No Discrimination: Comments containing racist, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise discriminatory language will be removed.

2. Stay on Topic
Relevant Discussions: Keep your posts relevant to celebrity-related topics (entertainment news, rumors, fashion, etc.).
Use Correct Categories: Post in the most appropriate sub-forum to help others find discussions easily.

3. No Spamming or Self-Promotion
No Unsolicited Advertising: Don't flood the forum with links to your website, services, or referral codes.
Limit Self-Promo: If you want to mention your work, do so sparingly and only when genuinely relevant to the conversation.
No Repetitive Posts: Posting the same content repeatedly across multiple threads is considered spam.

4. Respect Privacy and Copyright
No Personal Info: Don't share others' private details (addresses, phone numbers, etc.). This applies to both forum members and public figures.
Copyright Infringement: Do not post large excerpts of copyrighted text, leaked content, or media without permission. Summaries and small quotations with proper credit are allowed.

5. Keep it Family-Friendly
No Explicit Content: Profanity should be kept to a minimum; no explicit or NSFW (not safe for work) images, videos, or text.
No Violent or Graphic Content: Avoid posting graphic or violent content that doesn't relate to legitimate entertainment news stories.

6. Avoid Misinformation and Rumors
Clearly Label Rumors: If you're posting unverified celebrity gossip, clearly label it as rumor or speculation.
No Harmful Misinformation: Refrain from posting outright false or malicious information. If you're unsure, state that you're not certain.

7. No Illegal Activities
No Encouragement of Piracy: Don't share links or methods for illegal downloads of movies, music, or leaked celebrity content.
No Solicitation of Illegal Acts: Discussion or endorsement of hacking, identity theft, or other illicit behavior is prohibited.

8. Keep Debates Civil
Attack Ideas, Not People: Heated discussions are fine, but refrain from name-calling or personal attacks.
Agree to Disagree: If an argument isn't productive, move on or take a break.

9. No Trolling or Flame-Baiting
Trolling: Intentionally provoking users with inflammatory statements is not allowed.
Flame Wars: Threads devolving into personal insults and off-topic arguments will be locked or removed.

10. Respect the Moderators
Compliance: Moderator instructions must be followed. If you have questions about a moderator's action, contact them privately or use the designated forum feedback channel.
No Public Disputes: Don't start threads to publicly complain about moderators or staff decisions. Use the private messaging system if you need clarification or want to appeal a decision.
Why it matters: A transparent but orderly process helps moderators keep the forum running smoothly and fairly.

11. Reporting Violations
Use Report Function: If you see a post that violates these rules, use the "Report" button or contact a moderator.
No Vigilante Moderation: Don't confront violators yourself in an aggressive manner—let the moderators handle it.

12. Consequences for Breaking Rules
Warnings and Temporary Bans: Minor violations may result in warnings or short suspensions.
Permanent Bans: Repeated or severe violations (e.g., harassment, spam, illegal content) may lead to a permanent ban.
No Ban Evasions: Creating new accounts to bypass bans is grounds for immediate permanent suspension of all related accounts.

Final Note
We want our forum to be a fun, informative place to discuss the latest celebrity news and entertainment trends—play nice, stick to the topics, and help us grow a thriving community! If you have any questions about these rules or suggestions to improve them, please contact the moderation team.
