Post Movie Forum Rules. Please Read!

Welcome to the Council of Elrond's Movie Forum!

This is from Rivka, plus some stuff that we the moderators have added in.

Hi guys,
I'd like to remind everyone that this forum/site may be different than what you're used to dealing with at other sites, and that we may be a little more strict here about what's allowed. Please do the following:

1) Read the Site and Forum Rules.

2) Please read the post about forum decorum.

3) If a mod contacts you about a post or thread, please take their comments seriously. They are contacting you for the good of the site overall; it's not a personal thing on their part. Please don't get snotty with them, just because they're doing their job by reminding you of the rules.

4) If someone makes a comment that is offensive to you, please do not respond in like manner. Bring the post to the attention of a mod or admin, and they will deal with it, OR you can contact the poster (if you feel comfortable doing so) and remind them of the site rules. Remember: some folks are brand new to the site, and are not aware of our rules, so please keep that in mind when dealing with other members.

We have many people visiting the site that bring with them new attitudes, new cultures, and new problems. We all have to work together to ensure that this site stays a happy, fun place.

Our suggestions: Please:

* Make sure there is not an existing Topic already posted (check back pages), duplicates will be locked to further posting, and you will be directed to the other thread.

* If you post a Poll, let that be the first word of your title, so people know they can vote, e.g., "Poll- Who's the Best Actor in TTT?"

* If you post a Topic with 'spoilers' or a reply with 'spoilers' please put **spoilers** in the title of the topic without saying "Frodo Dies" or something like that IN the title! Note that most threads with spoilers belong in the Rumors and spoilers forum.

* Use a title for your Topic that clearly states the question or issue... don't use titles like "Whaaaa...?" "WKWTST" and then spell it right. Please do not post any titles like "Post here!" or "Read this!" Also please do not put half a sentence in the title and finish it in the post. This is very confusing and we will change it if it is done.

*Please do not spam or write one word replies that mean nothing. Please try to stay on topic.

* Keep the drooling over cast members to a minimum. The Casting Forum is the place to go for drooling. They stock more towels.

* Image Posting: images within posts must fit the 590x450 size limit so they don't clutter or stretch the page.

* If you're not sure about anything, feel free to PM the Movies Mod.

Just a reminder to everyone that all discussion of ROTK (the movie) should be held in the Rumors and Spoilers Forum. That way, anyone that wants to avoid news and discussion of scenes from the next movie won't inadvertently stumble upon them here. This includes discussion of images you've seen from ROTK, and speculations about scenes in ROTK that weren't in TTT. Some people on this site may not have read the books, and still want to avoid any spoliers. Thanks!

In case anyone was wondering, the topped thread called "Things that bug me - Mistakes of FOTR" has been un-topped in order to make room for some important ROTK threads. It's still here, and you can easily find a link to it (since I know you all hate searching) in the "Movie Forum Threads of Interest" post. Thanks!

Everyone, Please please please use the search module to see if there is a topic that would fit your opinions. Of late, I have been noticing more and more repeat threads popping up. It is not to difficult to click on the search link and do a search for your topic. More than likely there is already a thread.

If you don't know where the search is, it is located on the top of the forums on the left hand side, under Council of Elrond, you are logged in as so-and-so.

Please try to use it! It would be so much help to us moderators when we are going through all the threads.

Thanks!

Hello Movie Fans:

I've posted a new rule for the Movies Forum (near the bottom of the list):

Image Posting: images within posts must fit the 600x450 size limit so they don't clutter or stretch the page. Larger images can be resized using the [ img=widthxheight] url of image [/img] code (without the extra spaces).

Thanks.
