13thcolonyYay for tonight's season three premiere! In light of this joyous occasion, we expect this community to become active again and wanted to remind everyone of the community rules.
The most important points are: use an LJ cut on any posts about the episode for a week AND respect other posters.
1. No spoilers. Period. Once an episode has aired on the Sci-Fi Channel, we ask that you use an LJ Cut to conceal spoilers for seven days, to allow people who may not have seen the original airing time to catch up.
Addendum: This is the number one rule, and one we intend to enforce. Posts that violate the No Spoiler policy will be summarily deleted, and the poster will receive a warning. If the poster violates the policy a second time, they will be banned. This is a simple rule, folks, and in a no spoiler community it's only good manners. If you're able to read and write posts, you're able to understand the rules.
2. This is a discussion, NOT a fiction or icon community. Please take posts related to fiction or icons to other venues (see below). On a related note, please don’t ask for sources for episodes here – there are other communities that will be glad to help you out and BSG is available for legal download from iTunes - it takes about 24 hours for a new episode to be posted.
3. Please respect all varieties of fans, including those who want to see heterosexual or homosexual subtext. Anyone who makes posts insulting, degrading or attacking someone else will be banned.
In addition, we’d like to remind you that this show is fictional, and real world comparisons might or might not be applicable. We have no problems with people who want to analyze the show by means of real world comparisons, but please recognize that this represents opinion, not fact, and respect those who respond with other points of view.
Honest mistakes are understandable, but there are limits and we don't hesitate to ban around here if we feel the situation is warranted.
