User blog:Manic The Hedgehog/PSA: The Forums and You

Good day to you all! Six months ago, South Park Archives had the opportunity to beta test the new Forum feature as it was being developed. Three months later, it was officially released, and since then, we've seen a lot of fantastic discussions happening. For the most part, it would appear that the forums are well received, but I feel the rules need to be reiterated.

Forum messages may discuss anything related to South Park. Fanon, such as shipping, fanon characters, and fanon plots, are not allowed on the forums. However, things falling in the gray area, such as episode speculation, may be permitted on a case-by-case basis. Best use your good judgement.

Forum messages must be placed in the correct board. If you are unsure of which board to place your message in, please place it in the General Discussion board, and an administrator will move it for you. The descriptions for the boards may be a bit ambiguous, so they'll be outlined below.


 * Admin Noticeboard - Important announcements from the admins will appear here!
 * Sometimes, administrators will need to make announcements. They will appear in this board. Please do not post in this board unless you are an administrator with a relevant announcement.
 * General Discussion - Talk about anything South Park or South Park Archives related here!
 * Messages that do not fit into the other boards may be placed here. If necessary, an admin will move the message for you, if placed in this board first.
 * Episode Discussion - Discuss your favorite and new episodes here!
 * Any topic related to an episode, or a season, should be placed here.
 * Character Discussion - Discuss your favorite characters here!
 * Any topic related to a character, organization, or group, should be placed here.
 * Video Game Discussion - Discuss any official South Park game here!
 * Any topic related to an official South Park game should be placed here. See List of South Park Video Games for a list of valid games to talk about.
 * Forum Feedback - Feedback relating to the forum feature on South Park Archives should go here!
 * If you find a bug or have a suggestion for a new feature on the Forum, your topic should go in this board. This board is for discussing the Forum feature itself and no other subject matter should go in here.
 * Helpdesk - Found a bug? Have a problem with another user? Make a thread here!
 * If you find a bug or have a suggestion for improving one of the templates, it should go here. Discussions about Projects should go in General Discussion.
 * If you have a problem with another user, and cannot work it out on their message wall, you may post a thread about that user here. You should attempt to talk to the user directly on their message wall before posting about them here.

If you have a suggestion for an additional board, please message me directly. Though, keep in mind, there has to be a significant demand for it in order to be considered. As always, remember to be polite and stay on topic.

Thanks!
