Common sense and respect for others form an integral part of Aman-Valinor, as well as the following rules which must be adhered to by all who participate here.
All posts MUST be made in English. This is a rule of the host of our forum and violation of this rule may cause the site to be deleted without any warning. Please be aware that many hours have gone into making this site and to have it deleted would break our hearts.
For the sake of all members here, try your best to use proper English (proper capitalization is a must as it can be difficult to read otherwise). Don't worry, we are not going to correct your spelling or grammar, but do remember that there is a spell check tool available that you can use before sending in your post.
We are all here to have fun, not prove how smart we are or how much we know about Tolkien. There are plenty of sites on the internet where people can stretch their Tolkien muscles. This isn't one of those places. We welcome the novice as well as the expert and hope that both can live here in harmony. No flaming or derogatory comments will be allowed.
Absolutely no pornography or adult content is allowed on this site. Failure to abide by this rule will cause you to be banned without warning. If you have any questions on whether something is permissible, please contact the site administrator (Varda Elentari).
Keep the language clean! Take this opportunity to expand your vocabulary by finding different words to express yourself.
There are many people here from different sites. Some of us know each other and some of us don't. We expect everyone to treat each other with respect regardless of past associations.
One account per user, please. Also, be sure to introduce yourself. This isn't a place for lurkers. We want all to participate. The membership list will be periodically cleaned of those who have never posted a comment. We understand that some of you are shy, but do try to participate. It will increase your enjoyment.
We are very picky about giving credit where credit is due. Do not use someone else's work and try to pass it off as your own. Also, do not use other people's bandwidth (i.e. hotlink) to show pictures or files.
Some specific boards have their own set of rules. These will be posted at the very top of the board. You will be expected to follow those rules as well and we ask that you become familiar with them before posting.
I know that this seems like a lot of rules, but they are really there to make this place the welcoming and fun experience we hope it will be so the final rule is ... have fun!
