Over the last few months, there has been a tsunami of topics discussing nepotism/personal lives/off screen events/personal images on social media/etc regarding the actors who work in YHM. And while the DT has been reminding people time and time again how none of those topics are acceptable in this forum, our requests/reminders/warnings seem to be falling on deaf ears.
As a result, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, any direct/indirect discussion of an actor's personal life, any comments on their personal relationships or any mention of interpreted nepotism will result in an immediate 20% WL raise. This includes those who make the initial post, anyone who responds to said post and propagates the argument and anyone who instigates/implies such discussion via innuendos (if you're smart enough to understand you innuendo, please know that everyone else is too). Posting off screen/on screen pictures/posts from other social media websites to propagate arguments will result in a WL raise. The only thread where posting onscreen/behind the scene pictures of actors related of YHM is allowed is the already established Insta/Twitter/FB thread.
In the same grain, the use of any nicknames or names for any character/actor that are found to be inappropriate will result in an immediate 20% WL raise. Calling someone "abshagun", "filthy pig", "mosquito" is not only derogatory but extremely offensive. Just because this is an online platform does not mean that we forego all civility while discussing. Anyone unsure of what may or may be an "inappropriate nickname" should probably err on the side of caution and not post at all. If you do however post something that is found to be inappropriate, please realize that the entire responsibility will fall with you and WL will be raised.
And while we're on the topic of what is and is not appropriate, if a member posts a comment that you DO NOT AGREE WITH and you respond by attacking that member (even if you do it sarcastically and via innuendos), please understand that you will be issued a direct 20% WL raise. If you have concerns about any post, the ONLY appropriate way to respond is to REPORT it. If you choose to "teach them a lesson" on your own, then please know that is a choice you make and that WILL without doubt result in a WL raise. The level of intolerance on this forum is down right unacceptable. You do not have to like a post, but you have to respect it's right to exist. And for posts that need to removed/corrected, you need to alert the YHM DT via reports instead of jumping into a member bashing match yourself.
The members of this forum have demonstrated a unique conviction to act like children for the past couple of months with no tolerance for opinions different than their own, no respect for individual actors that do not like, and absolutely no boundaries when it comes to those actors' personal lives. As a result, this forum will be treated as such until such time that the members here can learn to coexist with and respect one another.
Freedom of speech may be a unalienable right but that does not mean it is without consequence.
