Forum policies
Before contributing to the Forums, please keep in mind a few best practices for conduct:

Don't Be A Dick.
 * Dappy doesn't tolerate dickery. Don't do it. Be nice, and don't make stupid and irrelevant topics. Joke topics are only funny to an extent.

Don't start clonethreads.
 * If there's already a discussion, contribute to it, don't make a clone.

Report tomfoolery.
 * If you tell us, we'll take action. We're not psychic.

Don't make One-Liner Topics.
 * If your topic is titled "this is a topic" or "Ayy LMAO" and contains something stupid meant as a one-liner, I will be angry. And I will remove it. And you. Forever. Amen.

Dappy Is Law.
 * I don't care who you are, even if you're Archangel's Headmin or even the Prime Minister of Canada. Dappy is the Law. These forums are here for convenience, fuck them up and you get punished regardless. Except if you're Norc. Then I'll just throw flaming kittens at you.

On that note, respect the Serverside/Forumside staff unless your name is Dapperus.
 * If Norc or an admin comes here and says things, they still hold a modicum of authority in any sense but the running of this forum. If the topic pertains to something in their jurisdiction, they hold the power, and we can, on their request, punish you for the nonsense you pull on their watch.

Et Cetera.
 * If someone on the forums is doing something unsavory, be it against the rules or not, tell us. All reports, however, eventually must go through the Dapp for a decision unless instant action is warranted.

Be Vigilant.

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.
