Fanclub making Rules

Don't make yourself a club
Fanclubs are dedications. You don't make yourself a club, you have a friend do it for you. It's just how it works, and it's all in the fun of having a Fanclub.
Do not annoy to get what you want
Don't go pestering every random member you see with a PM asking them to make you a Fanclub. It's annoying, and wouldn't it be weird to have a Fan club made by someone you've talked to once?
If you notice someone is repetitively PMing people on PC about making them a Fanclub, please report it.

Posting Rules

Keep it on topic
If there is a topic, stay on that topic. We know that simply asking questions about the member can get pretty repetitive, so you can go off topic, but don't post any random junk. SPAM is still recognised in this forum.
An example of going offtopic, but keeping it acceptable would be stating a movie a user saw, then afterwards having a brief discussion on that movie.
Do not flame or show disrespect to members
As in any forum, flaming and showing disrespect to members is strictly prohibited. Why flame a member in his or her fan club?
PC's original rules
And of course, all of PC's original rules are enforced here.

Member Fan club Custom Infractions and Point Values

As you should know, the Member Fan clubs have rules you should abide by, which means by breaking them, you will get infractions or warnings. Now, the Forum-wide rules apply here, but there are a few custom Member Fan club rules you need to be aware of also.
Don't make yourself a club
Making yourself a club will result in a warning (not be confused with an infraction), and also in your thread being closed. However, if you attempt to make yourself another club, you will get an infraction. This infraction will be worth 3 points, and will last 3 months.
Do not annoy to get what you want
If you are reported for having annoyed someone, or multiple people via PM to join your fan club, the infraction will be treated as harassment, therefore worth 3 points, with a duration of 4 months.

Threads are Under Moderation

Many threads get made without having permission, so we've decided to put threads on Moderation in the Member Fan clubs.

How can I know my thread will get approved?
First of all, the thread needs to be approved in the Club Approval thread. Secondly, it cannot be just a one-lined, non-serious thread. You have to be dedicated to your club, and put effort into the first post to give appeal and to have people join. Anything less will be treated as SPAM and disapproved.

Will I know if my thread hasn't been approved?
We will disapprove your thread without further notice, so if your thread isn't showing up on the thread list for a while, you can bet that it's been disapproved. If that is the case, just re-make your thread, but put more effort into it.

Can I ask you to approve my thread?
It will be greatly appreciated if you do not PM or contact any of our staff solely to ask to approve your thread. We will approve or disapprove your thread on our own time.
