These are the rules for the How to Train Your Dragon Wiki Discussion Boards. The discussions staff will be enforcing them. Rules may be altered or added at any time. Breaking any one of these rules may result in your post/comment edited or deleted, and continuing to do so may result in a ban. It is only for the staff to decide when exceptions may be made. If you have any questions concerning anything, please contact the staff as listed at #20 below.
For your convenience, here's the link to the OC Dump thread, where you can share all your Original Characters with the community.- OC Dump
And here's the link to the Meme Dump thread, where you can post memes to share with other users. (Please keep all memes isolated to this thread)- Meme Dump
_______________________________________________
1. If you have a question, please try to find the answer on the Wiki first. There's articles with detailed info about virtually everyone and everything; both for the franchise, and books! Please explore the navigation bar at the top of the page, or check out our main page at Main Page.
2. Linking to illegal sites to watch or read any media for free is prohibited. Same goes for directing other users in how to hack one of the games.
3. All posts must be about HTTYD somehow; whether it be the book series or the film franchise. Comments should also remain on the topic of the post they're made on.
4. Turn your caps-lock off! You may use all caps for a FEW words as emphasis, but do not create entire posts or comments in all caps or bold.
5. Don't comment more than twice in a row. You have the ability to edit your comments, so please resort to that rather than commenting again.
6. Only two posts per user may be created per day to give everyone's posts a chance at being seen. 1 day = 24 hours.
7. Of the two posts allowed per user per day, only ONE may include a picture or poll. Additional pictures may be posted in the comments within that day, but new posts containing a picture or a new poll on the same day will be deleted. Plagiarism is strictly prohibited! NEVER say you created an image if you in fact did not!! Plagiarism is theft, and will result in a ban!!
8. Profanity is strictly not allowed. The strongest curse words allowed are those like "damn", "hell", or "crap".
9. Do not begin casually "chatting" with another user in the Discussion Boards. Instead, you may send the other user a direct message on their Message Wall. For Discord, you can only see three channels and only talk in two channels until you’re assigned a role: https://discord.gg/bMFV9g6
10. Repeating posts within a week is not allowed. For example, if someone creates a post asking, "Who's your favorite character?" that question is not allowed to be asked again by anyone else for at least a week. If it is asked again within that week, it will be deleted.
11. All opinions are to be respected, including unpopular ones. You do NOT have the right to attack anyone because you don't agree with them. If you can't say anything polite, practice "scroll and ignore". In the case of trolls and spam, simply report and ignore. Do NOT feed trolls!
12. Please make sure to choose the correct category for what you're creating a post about. If you're not sure what category to put your post in, just choose "General" and a member of staff will change it for you later. But after you've been here for a while, you will be expected to know how to categorize your own posts. Please see this post if you have questions.
13. Don't create a new post to respond to a comment under another post. This includes responding to a post that has been locked or deleted. If a post is locked, that discussion is not allowed to continue. And especially do NOT create a post to attack another user. Bullying and harassment will result in a block.
14. Please don't overuse emojis in a single post or comment. They can become distracting and an assault to the eyes.
15. Please use proper grammar so that everyone can understand what you're trying to say.
16. Do NOT abuse the report button. Reporting posts you simply disagree with wastes the staff's time, and those who make a habit of it will face consequences.
17. Fan fiction is not allowed here. Please join the Fanon wiki if you wish to create/post your own fan fiction: httydfanon.wikia.com/wiki/Fanon_Wiki_Homepage . You may also write your fan fictions on websites like fanficton.net and wattpad.com and post a link here. Please don’t post a link to fan fiction more than once a week.
18. Roleplaying is not allowed here. You may also roleplay at the Fanon wiki posted in the rule above.
19. This is the English wiki for How to Train Your Dragon, so only English is allowed to be spoken here. There are a few other language HTTYD wikis—
