TSCC CODE OF CONDUCT
(1) Membership:The 10 Rules
- Respect Your Peers. Although you may not share a member's enthusiasm for a particular character, actor, contestant, judge, aspect of the show, etc., please respect their opinion. We encourage you to discuss opinions as long as they stay respectful. This forum was created to discuss a wide range of topics, and attempts to drive off a member because they have a differing opinion will not be tolerated. If you post with respect, you will be respected. If not, your stay here will be short.We encourage you to post your opinion, but you aren't permitted to insult, harass, or intimidate other members for expressing theirs.Profanity (even if it is masked) and name-calling is also forbidden. Harassment includes, but is not limited to, disparaging or hateful comments based on gender, age, appearance, race, sexual orientation, ethnic background, locality, or religion. The question the moderation team asks when deciding whether to delete a post or thread is: "Is it mean-spirited or malicious?" If the answer is "Yes," it comes down. If a member establishes a pattern of mean-spirited posts, their account will come down. Further considerations...Threads lead strange lives. Many begin well but deteriorate into flaming, bashing, and general negativity. If a thread becomes dominated by this type of post, the entire thread will be deleted.
- Do not use offensive language.Inappropriate, crude, or abusive language is not only unacceptable, it’s a lousy way to convince anyone of your point. Any posts that contain such language will be deleted. Repeated offensive language will result in your membership being suspended or canceled.
- No Flaming. There are no stupid questions — Everyone’s input is welcomed and honored. “Flaming” others or demeaning their participation may build your self-esteem, but it won’t help build community spirit. Repeated flaming will result in your membership being suspended or canceled.
- Report inappropriate Content/Behavior. If you see an offensive or abusive post (or one that violates the forum policies in some way), please report inappropriate content or behavior to the Moderators, and refrain from electronic arguments with the perpetrator. Content dealing with the following areas will be removed without notice: sex, drugs, weapons, baiting or threatening members, use of foul language, and gay bashing.
- Do Not Post In Uppercase. In Internet terms, posting in all uppercase constitutes yelling. Please respect your peers and do not post in uppercase.
- Not A Dating Service. This is not Match.com or eHarmony.com.TSCC fans come here to chat with other TSCC fans about the show. They do not come here to be hit on.
- Respect The Cast of TSCC.Do not post any revealing or embarrassing photographs that are clearly an invasion of an actor's privacy. The cast have a right to respect and privacy, just as each of us does. Photo's or content deemed inappropriate will be removed. Threads, posts or photos that violate this rule will be deleted without notice.
- No Self-promotion or Marketing. This is a no-no. The TSCC wiki exists to support an organic and communal body of information. Shameless self-promotion or hawking of wares is strictly forbidden. Any infraction will result in your membership being canceled.
- No Spamming or Advertising. This site is a community for TSCC fans to talk about the show. Posting of advertisements and/or spamming is strictly forbidden. Any infraction will result in your membership being canceled.
- Do Not Plagiarize Material. Do not publish content that is trademarked or copyrighted. If you are on another site, please contact the author or the webmaster to obtain their permission before posting here. Make sure to reference the author in your post. The other alternative is to include a link in your post to the other web site.
(2) Off-topic (OT) Threads
OT threads will be tolerated within reason. OT threads concerning sex, drugs, or weapons are not allowed. For some members, off-topic threads can be distracting. For others, off-topic threads are a way to come together as a community. Given various members views on OT threads, it does not seem appropriate for this wiki to implement specific rules for OT threads. However, in order to make this wiki a place where all members can feel comfortable, we ask that you follow a simple practice of starting new OT threads using the Water Cooler forum.
- OT threads appearing within the Water Cooler forum will be required to meet the COC rules and guidelines.
- Failure to place your OT thread within the Water Cooler forum will be cause for deletion without notice.
(3) Political/Religious Discussions
Political and religious discussions are frowned upon by this wiki. These types of discussions come with a lot of emotions and strong opinions, and never end well. However, we ask you to follow the same process as for OT threads. Start political or religious threads using the Water Cooler forum. These threads will be deleted without notice if they become inflammatory.
- POL and REL threads appearing within the Water Cooler forum will be required to meet the COC rules and guidelines.
- Failure to place your POL or REL thread within the Water Cooler forum will be cause for deletion without notice.
(4) About Members
Moderators and registered members are sometimes not who they seem to be. By that, it's meant that this wiki is officially recognized by the Fox Network as the TSCC community wiki. As such, visitors associated with Fox, WB, and TSCC (producers and writers) may visit this site from time-to-time as registered members.
(5) Community Spirit
- Use the moderators as a resource. Contact themoderators for guidance or advice on how to best to leverage the site or address issues if they arise. They are there to help.
- Share the experience. Be an ambassador of the community by enrolling others in the discussion, sponsoring a lively but respectful debate, and setting a good, collaborative example.
(6) PRIVACY
- Your Privacy:
- Do not post email addresses, phone numbers, home addresses, etc. in threads.
- Do not share information with someone on this site. This wiki will never ask for personal information. Get to know someone well before you share personal information with them - even then it's strongly recommended that you do not share personal information. If you decide to share your information, do so privately using the site's private messaging feature
- Do not respond to requests for personal information.If someone contacts you via an email, and asks you for personal information, just delete the email. Better to be safe than sorry.
- Creating Your Profile:
- When creating your profile, don't include any of the following identifiable information:
- ZIP code
- Date Of Birth
- Last Name
- Phone Number
- Area Code
- Email address
- Home address
- SSN (Social Security Number)
- ....and more like Driver License Number, Medical numbers, etc.

(7) Moderators
Questions. At any time you have a question, wish to share an idea, need to lock or unlock pages, or need to report inappropriate behavior (flaming, foul language, spamming, etc.), feel free to send a private message to any of the moderators. All of your PMs (Private Messages) are confidential and follow-ups are handled with discretion.
(8) Warning! Please Do Not Feed The Trolls
Someone who purposely joins an online community to cause problems and to irritate other users is often referred to as a "troll". As suggested by the popular sign at left, the easiest way to get rid of a troll is to not feed him, i.e. do not encourage a trouble maker by responding. It is your heated response that fuels a troll- they want you to notice them. They want you to be irritated.Please report inappropriate behavior to a site moderator.

Just a quick reminder that the rules of the discussion forum may be found on the Wiki Code of Conduct page.
http://terminatorwiki.fox.com/page/Wiki+Code+of+Conduct Besides laying down the law of the forum, it also recommends that you refrain from giving out any personally identifiable information on this site (either in discussion threads or via PMs)--doing so is at your own risk! Please report any inappropriate behavior to a moderator. Thanks! |
