POS Posting Guidelines

RESPECT THE FORUMS

1. Moderators and admins of the POS Forums are comprised of volunteers who are dedicated to the art that is anime and POS. Their primary purpose is to make sure the rules of the forum are enforced. They moderate discussions and steer them back on topic, and they can reprimand violators and hand out warnings to those concerned. With that said, please do not take it personally if a mod or admin gives you a warning, since ginagawa lang nila ang kanilang tungkulin. If you have a problem with a mod or admin, settle it like civilized people and discuss it with them via PM.

2. Off topic, spamming and other disruptive behavior is not allowed. We encourage active and lively posts to preserve the quality of discussions sa forum na ito, so please avoid posting one liners, off topic posting, making topics out of boredom, and other disruptive behavior na nakakagulo sa normal na discussion sa mga boards.

3.A word on double posting: If you were the last person to post on a thread, and you posted immediately after your last post, that is called double-posting. Oftentimes in the past users do it to pad post counts, so we would humbly request that if you have something to add to your last post, please use the EDIT function instead. If you really can't help yourself, please wait at least ONE (1) HOUR before posting again, at sana yung post na yun ay may kabuluhan at di pandagdag lang.

A word on 'bumping: Posts are displayed on the forums chronologically from the time of the last reply to that thread. If you've posted a thread and nobody has posted in it, it will gradually "sink down" from the first page. The act of bringing a post that's been idle for a period of time back to the top of the list is called 'bumping". While we do not frown upon bumping threads, we would appreciate it if you bump threads only when you have something new to add to the discussion, and not just to say "I agree/Okay to!/or anything else that doesn't add anything new to the topic discussed.

A word on spamming: Spamming can mean two things in this forum: One is the act of posting multiple threads/posts with either one or two lines or words which add nothing to the conversation except to increase post counts. The other is a specific type of post, like the examples below

A post with 2 or less words
A post with only smilies
A post with no explanation of why or why not you like/do/want/etc. something.
A post with no relevance to the subject
A post which is illegible
A post that makes no sense (like a post with only question marks or exclamation posts, or a post with nothing but a link to a site/video)
A post only stating that the previous poster is spamming
A post repeated in same thread
A post repeated in other threads(cross-posting)
A post with links to websites or services, not relevant to the topic
A post for no apparent reason, other than increase post count
A new thread, identical to what someone else have already started in that forum
A new thread, without a proper subject description
a new thread, without a proper or coherent introduction (like a topic about a certain show having only a wikipedia entry as a first post)

3. Please avoid posting in txtspk or aLtErNaTeCaPs. This isn't so much of a hard rule as it is a guideline talaga. Basically, try to write legibly and avoid txtspeak in respect to the people na di marunong magbasa nito or mga mahina ang mata. Libre po ang vowels kaya wag po tayo magalit sa kanila.

Same goes with wRiTiNg iN AlteRnAtE CaPs, lalo lang pag CmBined xA wd txtSpK 2 f0Rm tEh UlTm8 p0$t pUohh dVahh. Alalahanin na di lahat ng member natutuwa basahin ang mga post na ganito, and para sa mga mahina ang mata hindi sya lalo naiintindihan. Let's learn to write properly para maintindihan tayo ng mas maraming tao. Matuto tayo magpost ng maayos.

4. Inappropriate posts are not allowed. The HERO TV FORUM is more or less a general patronage forum, so all posts must be work safe and kid-friendly. With that said, please do not post profanity, nudity, smexually explicit or gory posts and pictures, vulgar, insulting and/or threatening language, promoting and/or encouraging war or violence of any kind, and posting, requesting, and/or sharing material that is considered obscene, graphic and the like.

RESPECT YOUR FELLOW MEMBERS

5. Bashing: Please do not bash your fellow members, companies or characters. Medyo maraming pwedeng iconsider na bashing, pero basically any post that is extremely negative without giving any reasons why ay considered bashing. This does not mean that you are not allowed to have your own opinions, only that you have to be mindful of how you say it. If you don’t like something, you can say so. If you even don’t like HERO TV, you can say so, but do it in such a way that doesn’t mindlessly lash out at the subject you don’t like. Bigyan namin kayo ng example:

Bashing: “Pangit ni Naruto…b0bo lahat ng nanonood sa walang kwentang anime na yan.”

Not bashing: “Hindi ko gusto si Naruto…medyo overused na ang ‘lampang-bida-na-may-natatagong-lakas’ na type of characters.”

6. Do not flame or troll your fellow members. Flaming is basically posting hurtful remarks with the purpose of making other members feel upset and/or angry. Trolling is posting with the purpose of provoking people to respond with flames. Flaming/trolling via PM counts.

RESPECT YOURSELF

9. Do not swear/use vulgar language (Tagalog or otherwise). Swearing does not add anything to discussions. Also, this is more or less a General patronage forum, so please be considerate to the minors here. Trying to get around the swear filter (by using asterisks, i.e., d*mn or h*ll) will not be tolerated and will likely get you a stern warning, so be careful.

10. Multiple accounts are not allowed. You only need ONE account to log in to our forums, so please choose one and drop one and we’ll take care of the rest. Change of username is now allowed only ONCE and the forumer must submit a PM (private message) to g-dawg stating his/her reason of the change of username and the EXACT FORMAT of the new username.
