Forum Policies
Before contributing to the Forums, please keep in mind a few best practices for conduct:

Be nice and treat people with respect.
 * People from all around the world read and edit this wiki and its forums. Like any other collaborative project, not everyone will agree all the time. Keep discussions civil and be open minded about differing opinions. We're all here because we like the same topic.

Ask for help.
 * Notice something that doesn't seem right? Or do you have a question? Ask for help here on the forums! If you need help from Wikia staff, please reach out on Community Central or via Special:Contact. Also, if you need help, ask a admin.

Place your thread in a correct topic.
 * If you don't put your thread in the right topic, your thread would be moved. If you keep spamming the forums with misplaced discussions, you will get blocked. If you are not sure, ask a admin. Note: the News and Announcements are for admin announcements, the Message Board is for any member announcements.

Forum FAQ
How do I stay on top of discussions I'm interested in?
 * With a Wikia user account, you can follow specific conversations and then receive notification messages (either on-site or via email) when a discussion has more activity. Be sure to sign up for a Wikia account if you don't already have one.

How do I remove vandalism?
 * If you notice some spam or vandalism on a thread, hover your mouse over the offending text. You'll see a "More" button appear. Inside the "More" menu, you'll find "Remove". This will allow you to remove the vandalism and optionally inform an admin, but first you should tell a Wikia admin or admin.  will take care of it then.

What are Kudos?
 * If you find a particular discussion or reply interesting, well thought out, or amusing you can show direct appreciation by giving it Kudos. They can be helpful in voting situations, too.

What are Topics?
 * Topics allow you to link a forum discussion with a wiki article. It's another way to keep Forums organized and to help people find interesting discussions. For example, a Forum thread tagged with "" will appear at the bottom of the "" article.
