We use Google Analytics to measure user activity for the purpose of understanding our audience and improving the site. By accessing this site, you agree to the Alphabet/Google Terms of Service as it relates to the collection and retention of your data.

We store your IP address whenever you log in as a member. This helps us track spammers, bots, and trolls and restrict their access to the site when necessary. We keep collected IP addresses in our database indefinitely because tracking usage patterns over long periods of time is essential to detecting illicit activity.

We collect your e-mail address during the sign-up process in order to help verify that you’re a real person. Maintaining a valid e-mail address is a requirement for membership. Any accounts found to have an invalid e-mail address will be closed.

If you post in the forum, any text authored by you that is not quoted from or contained within another copyrighted work enters the public domain immediately. You retain ownership of any original media (photos, videos, artwork, etc.) you share here, but the text of the post itself is not your property. Should you request the deletion of your account at a future date, forum posts will not be deleted. Any posts deleted by you may be restored by the moderators at their discretion.

If you request that your account be deleted, we will delete your e-mail address and any related user logs. We will modify usernames or forum posts on closed accounts at your request if they contain personally identifiable information. If you are banned from the site for breaking the rules, you agree that we may retain your account information indefinitely, including your e-mail address and IP address(es).

Mediavine Programmatic Advertising (Ver 1.1)

The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.

First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. The “help” feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser’s cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.

Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.

The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:

Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers in order to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers and apps. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.

If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices to opt-in or opt-out of this data collection, please visit National Advertising Initiative opt out page. You may also visit Digital Advertising Alliance website and Network Advertising Initiative website to learn more information about interest-based advertising. You may download the AppChoices app at Digital Advertising Alliance’s AppChoices app to opt out in connection with mobile apps, or use the platform controls on your mobile device to opt out.

Content and Moderation

Interesting and productive discourse lies in the reasonable space between protecting delicate flowers from the slightest offense and promoting a crude free-for-all. We aim to provide an open and lively discussion forum while keeping things civil, hence the following rules.

Hard Rules

All members are subject to these rules in all sections of the forum. The General Chat/Off Topic section is once again moderated, so all rules below apply to that section as well.

Breaking any of these rules will result in a warning, followed by any number of temporary bans at any arbitrary length as determined by the moderators. Excessive rule-breaking will eventually result in a permanent ban. If you need to ask how many offenses are required for a permanent ban, you should probably reconsider your posting style.

Moderators reserve the right to edit or delete offending topics and posts without warning.

  1. Stay on topic. (Determined in part by the OP. See General Guideline #3 below for details.)
  2. Don’t attack other members personally. When debating, argue the point, not the person. Respectful criticisms of debate style (logical fallacies) are acceptable.
  3. While there are no specific restrictions on profanity, please exercise restraint. Dropping an F-bomb here and there isn’t going to get you banned, but excessive profanity shouldn’t be necessary to make your point.
  4. No politics; only light discussion of current events is permitted, and only in the Off Topic section. Your signature, which appears beneath all your posts, may not contain political content or social commentary.
  5. No image-only posts unless the image has a direct bearing on the topic at hand and it adds value to the discussion. Images may not contain nudity or graphic depictions of violence, death, etc.

Breaking the following rules may result in an immediate and permanent ban with no prior warning:

  1. Do not harass other members, either publicly or via PM. Any unwanted contact after a request to stay away will be considered harassment.
  2. Personal attacks and slurs based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, etc. aren’t tolerated under any circumstances.
  3. Socks (fake accounts where you pretend to be someone else) and team accounts (accounts used by more than one person) aren’t permitted. If we find you using a sock, we’ll ban both the sock and your primary account as well as any related accounts, and possibly IP addresses.

General Guidelines

  1. We encourage you to assist new members in learning the ropes, but making fun of them isn’t helpful. Either politely point them in the right direction or say nothing at all.
  2. Don’t moderate unless you’re a moderator. If you see problematic behavior, report it. Report new members you suspect to be trolls/socks, but don’t accuse them publicly without proof.
  3. The OP is considered the thread owner and sets the topic and tone for a thread. The mods will defer to the OP’s preference in determining whether posts veer too far off topic.
  4. Again, the Off Topic section is no longer unmoderated; the same rules apply there as any other section.
  5. If you see any spam on the site please PM a Moderator asap or use the Reporting Spam thread here. Do NOT reply to, or engage with the spammer or spambot - and do NOT click on any link they post.

Rules Regarding Fan Edits

  1. No discussions about financial transactions except for the buying, selling, or trading of official retail media. All For Sale/For Trade/Wanting To Buy posts belong in the buying/selling/trading forum.
  2. No profiting from any activities related to fan edits or preservation efforts. Those found selling their fan edits or preservation projects here or elsewhere will be banned.
  3. No discussions regarding traditional “warez”, such as bootlegs of current or recent theatrical releases, screeners, pre-retail/retail DVDs, and cracked computer software.
  4. No direct links to file downloads of copyrighted media (VOBs, WMV, QuickTime, torrent files, NZB files, ED2K links, etc.) or links to complete fan edits on sites such as YouTube or Vimeo. No direct links to pages containing such files. Short clips to demonstrate quality or content are permissible.
  5. The source of all materials used in fan edits and preservation efforts must be cited, including retail releases, laserdisc transfers, special features, menus, covers, and artwork.
  6. Before obtaining any fan edits, you must be in ownership of the official retail release.
  7. No pictures, gifs, memes or other similar links to pirated material - including cams, mobile phone recordings, screeners, leaks, pre-retail releases, or ‘for your consideration’ award leaks etc.
    8. Please do not discuss intimate details of projects on this site in other public forums or ask for donations of preservation materials (such as film prints) without the permission of those members primarily responsible for a project. Exceptions are sister forums, including Fanres and Fanedit.org.
