I know, I know. We didn't have any rules on this board. But guess what. Times have changed. We have a bigger crowd now. People are actually posting everyday. Some of us have reached over 1000 posts. So I'm laying it all down. No worries. We are still going to be the coolest, free-est board around. We'll still get to do pretty much whatever we want! Key words there, 'pretty much'. Okay, here goes....
Rules:
1. Absolutly nothing harmful is to be said about anybody. That goes for other boardies and characters/actors from Buffy/Angel.
2. For all news posted, it must be...
3. To get news approved, PM me or any of the mods. Do not post it anywhere on the board first.
4. Although this is mainly a Buffy/Angel board, you do have the freedom to post about anything you feel the need to. Even if it happens to be about the lightbulb you just changed. Just make sure you post it in General Talk and not James Marsters News. Boardies that want to read news about James probably don't want to hear about how long it took you to change that lightbulb. Trust me, it goes in General Talk.
5. Guests have the right to read most of our postings, but you must be a member before you can reply. If you disagree with this rule, you can email me, but I doubt that I will care very much.
6. No average member or guest can enter the Admins and Mods posts. So if you can't get in, there is nothing wrong with your internet service. I'm just not letting you in.
7. I and the mods all have the right to edit/remove any posts that anyone makes. It is our board, you know. We do with it what we like.
8. If any person on this board breaks any of these rules, we will be compelled to do something about it. At first, we may PM you with a warning and a copy of these rules to show that you broke it. If it happens again, we have the right to remove you from our board.
9. For any boardies that do not post anything in atleast a month from registering, you will receive an email as a reminder. If we don't get an answer from you in two weeks from the time we send you an email, we will send you another one. A week after that, if we still here nothing, we will send you a third email explaining the reasons we removed you from the board. When you receive either the first or second email before that time is up, reply to it giving us a reason why you haven't posted. If it is a good reason, you can stay on the board. If not, you will be removed immediatly.
10. We do not have strict rules on language. Only this. If every other word you post is fuck you, shit, ass hole, etc, you will be removed without any warning.
Karma: Exalting and Smiting
I've noticed some uber-exalting happening lately, so it's about time to lay down some rules.
Just as all the other rules, these MUST be followed. If these rules are broken, I will reduce your karma as a warning. If they continue to be broken, I will take further action (example: banning for a short period of time).
Thanks for reading this! Now go have fun and enjoy the board! If you have any other questions concerning rules, or anything else, just PM or email me or any of the mods.

Karma: Exalting and Smiting
I've noticed some uber-exalting happening lately, so it's about time to lay down some rules.
- Karma is to be given/taken by a post someone made or a PM sent. And on occasion, given randomly because you love the person (which, of course we all do).
- Everytime someone gives karma, it must be stated in The Exaltation Thread. That is why we created it. Everyone wants to know why they are loved. If you give it randomly, atleast say that it was random instead of saying nothing at all.
- If you happen to smite someone, I would like to know about it. You do not have to post about it, but you DO have to PM me telling me who and why. That way, if there is a problem, I can try to do something about it. It is my job, after all.
Just as all the other rules, these MUST be followed. If these rules are broken, I will reduce your karma as a warning. If they continue to be broken, I will take further action (example: banning for a short period of time).
