A few rules to follow when you post

Your comments may be deleted if they don't comply with any of the following rules. Moreover, you may be banned, depending on the content or the insistence of your messages. These rules may be applied even if your comment is about DBM!

#1. Any comment about the moderation will not be tolerated in that comment space. It's not allowed to ask why your comment had been deleted either. It's out of topic. If you want to discuss it, please send your question to : "DBMmodSyrias" [at] "web.de"

#2. In that comment space, comments are only about DBM, and mostly about the current page. It's forbidden to speak about anything else. Debates linked to DBM but drifting to something else than the current page must not last for too long. If it's related with the current page but the two sides just stand firm, then it's useless to let it go on further.

#3. Do not post insult, provocation, racist, sexist, (etc) comments.

#4. Follow the rules of the English language as much as possible. No sms. If we consider a comment isn't readable, it'll be deleted.

#5. No flooding. So, do not send twice (or more) the same message, links or comments whose content is written with capital letters. The 'first' and other comments of the kind are not tolerated either.

#6. Ads aren't allowed in the comments, even if it's just for one time. Even if you're introducing yourself. Even if they're about DBZ. Even if they are short.
The 'partner sites' page is here for that.
No link can be posted, unless it had a direct connection with the current page.

#7. The “signature” aren't tolerated either (a signature is a sentence or a link at the end of your comment, that is repeated – or not – and that doesn't have any connection with what you just said and with DBM)

#8. Please, make sure that your comment does make sense, at least a little. So, please, do not send comment that are just 'yeah!' 'oh!' 'huh?' 'pfff'... so that people may know what you're talking about.

#9. Do not double post (two posts one after the other). You can use the 'edit' button. Of course, you're allowed to send several comments on the same page (well, no spamming either).

#10. Do not pretend you're another commenter.

#11. Do not write several messages with exactly the same idea on a page.

#12. No value judgement! Provocation and/or judgements (such as 'you're an idiot', 'you certainly are a kid', 'learn to read', 'your comment is rubbish', 'such a debate is useless'...) are forbidden. You comment and debate about the comics, not about the readers and their intentions. Moreover, if a debate doesn't interest you, do not take part in it.

#13. Besides, do not try to second-guess what the authors (or even the readers) have in mind. For instance: “It's obvious they're not motivated anymore”, “DBM will soon end”. You can't read people's thoughts.

#14. Please, avoid political, religious, identity, community etc... references.

#15. Do not accuse one another of this and that. For instance: a reader who dislike Bra isn't necessarily misogynous, a reader who dislike Uub isn't necessarily a racist.

#16. Do not be extreme to the point you lose every objectivity, even if you're defending DBM. Do not think you're moderator. So, for instance, do not write: 'Don't read if you don't like it.' 'Go and try and draw better!' or 'Stop criticizing!!' Readers may, or may not, approve of the scenario, the characters or the drawings. Debate if you wish, but keep objective. Really: do not try to do the job of the moderators, you just give them more work to do.

#17. If ever you've questions about DBM (the publication of the next page, how we work...), do not ask it here. Read the FAQ. If you can't find the answer in there, you can send a mail to the DBM team in the 'The Authors' section.

#18. Do not reply to anyone who doesn't follow one of these rules for your comment may be deleted, even if it's about DBM too.

#19. Don't ask how gravatar works, don't test your gravatar here. Seriously. Gravatar is easy to use. If you can't do it, just post without avatar. If you want help, search internet or gravatar.com.

Text processing:

Add *, / or _ around some text, and it'll format it *bold*, /italic/ or _underlined_.
Usual BBcode works too: [b][/b], [i][/i] and [u][/u].
If you type a url or e-mail directly, it'll be made as a link. If you want to make a link around text different than the url, use [url=thelink]the text[/url], like in phpBB.
To show an image, use [img]url_of_image[/img]. This image must be uploaded on another site already.
If you begin your line with >, the color will be different, use it to quote other messages.
You will be able to edit your messages for a limited time.
