What Topics are and Aren't Allowed?

People have asked or questioned what members can and can't discuss on this forum and that's something that is going to be discussed here.

Allowed:

• Other Horrors: There is a separate forum section to talk about topics outside of F13 relating to discussions.
  
• Fanfic/FanArt: Discussion about fanfic and fanart is allowed.
  
• Debating: Any and all forms of civil debating are allowed.
  
• Promotion: Note this is only for F13/Horror-related content nothing outside of it will be allowed. (If you want to promote outside content DM me directly.)
  
• Criticism: If you are seeking honest online opinions then this is the place BUT do not get mad when hearing the truth when you asked for it!!
  

In-Between:

• Politics: This is something that is debatable, I personally don't care for politics, but others do and it will only be allowed if kept positive! so the Administrators/Moderators will be supervising to make sure its within the rules/on-topic!
  
• Trolling: Alright, this subject is 50/50 but there is a line between trolling with the intent of being funny and trolling with the intent to create chaos if it becomes a huge problem we will act upon it as civil and fair as we can/could but if not...you'll meet the machete! (Aka Banned) (aka ban!)
  

Prohibited:

• Pedophilia: ANY PROMOTION OF PEDOPHILIA IS PROHIBITED!
  
• Rape: ANY PROMOTION OF RAPE IS PROHIBITED!
  
• Slander: ANY acts of slandering someone with fictitious statements or out-of-context conversations is prohibited!
  
• Doxing: Leaking private information or information that someone wants to keep private (unless it's breaking laws of course) is prohibited.
  
• Stalking: Any acts of discussion where you want to stalk or harass someone is not tolerable.
  
• Nudity: Now listen.....Nudity on this forum is a big NO-NO! I asked the official forum support staff from the head website and they state we can't upload any type of Nudity regardless if it's censored or not!
  
• Gatekeeping: What is gatekeeping? Its when someone uses a common hobby or interest as a means of elevating themselves above others to give oneself a sense of being superior transforming their passion or knowledge about a particular subject into an ugly tool of self-inflation, this superiority complex will not be tolerated, you will be warned once to remove this "I am the only True fan" fallacy ideology or else you will keep being banned from the forum until you realize your faults.
  

Staff Roles,Powers, and Descriptions

• Adminstrators (aka Chief Counselors): The Admins/Chief Counselors are the 2nd highest ranked positioned members (Under the Founder) they rank above the global moderators in power they also keep the forum running and keep the forums safe for all members, the admins have the power to Ban members who become problematic.
  
• Counselors (aka Moderators): The Global Moderators of the F13 Forum are the 3rd highest ranked position members of the staff whose job isn't just to Warn Members but their main job is to enforce the rules and police the forum especially if the Admins aren't online and so they act as the final lines.
  
• Jr. Counselors (aka Chat Moderators): Joining in on the Chatbox is real-time feature so if you decide to break the rules in the chatbox the chat moderators have full authority to kick you, and if you decide to become problematic the Chat moderators can ban.  (Note: Dont try and seek the Admins or Mods as they can't revoke Chatbox Bans unless its the Chat Mods or Me)
  

Note: All staff are human beings, THERE ARE NO BOTS! WITH ADMINISTRATIVE OR MODERATIVE POWERS! So don't try to talk to them any way you believe!

If a Staff is shown to abuse their power on the forum it will be up for a Staff Vote between us (Admins, Mods, and Chat Mods) all some will be suspended or permanently removed from their role if necessary, report any and all abusive behavior to me aka @Jason Voorhees
