Forum policies
Search before you post
 * Before creating a new discussion, please do a quick search to see if you topic already exists. If it doesn't don't be afraid to start it.

Try to alert before spoilers
 * Just say "SPOILER" or something before a spoiler. Easy enough right? When I have the time I might put in a spoiler function or something, but I'm full of empty promises.

Spam will not be tolerated
 * This simply means that you'll be slammed with the b& hammer for the usual stuff like repetitive self promotion or gore or something. We're not that strict, but you know the stuff that'll get you insta-banned. Everyone gets 1 chance and an appeal if a mod feel like listening (they don't have to).

Forum FAQ
How do I stay on top of discussions I'm interested in?
 * With a Wikia user account, you can follow specific conversations and then receive notification messages (either on-site or via email) when a discussion has more activity. Be sure to sign up for a Wikia account if you don't already have one.

How do I remove vandalism?
 * If you notice some spam or vandalism on a thread, hover your mouse over the offending text. You'll see a "More" button appear. Inside the "More" menu, you'll find "Remove". This will allow you to remove the vandalism and optionally inform an admin.

What are Kudos?
 * If you find a particular discussion or reply interesting, well thought out, or amusing you can show direct appreciation by giving it Kudos. They can be helpful in voting situations, too.

What are Topics?
 * Topics allow you to link a forum discussion with a wiki article. It's another way to keep Forums organized and to help people find interesting discussions. For example, a Forum thread tagged with "Lord Voldemort" will appear at the bottom of the "Lord Voldemort" article.
