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 love the same topic.

Try to find existing discussions first, but don't be afraid to start a new thread.
 * Please take a moment to sift through the Forum boards to see if a discussion already exists about something you want to talk about. If you can't find what you're looking for, jump right in and start a new discussion!

Try to use the right board for your thread.
 * Please take a moment to read the Forum board descriptions to see which location is the best fit for your thread. If you aren't sure which board to use, everything is welcome in the General Discussions board!

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.

Have fun!
 * The community is happy to have you here. We look forward to seeing you around as we discuss this topic we all love.

But Don't Spam
 * We want to make information about this game available to as wide an audience as possible, the goal is to get the information/help to the people who need it. As such, links are allowed when they are used to help people or spread game information. However, when link(s) are solely used for self-promotion, they are considered spam. Spamming will not be tolerated on the wiki or on the forum. Threads/posts that just contain links and no context are considered spam. As is creating multiple new threads containing the same link(s), or using multiple accounts to post the same link(s). This is a community forum, not a place to peddle your site/wares. You can leave the blatant ad space filling to Wikia. Users who post forum spam will have their posts removed. If a post that is otherwise appropriate includes links considered to be spam, those links will be removed. Repeat offenses will result in a ban.

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.

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 "Updates" will appear at the bottom of the "Updates" article.
