rules of sfi

1. Respect your fellow Shawols and the staff.

- The rules are set to keep order and Team SFI is here to enforce it. SFI strives to be a friendly and active community for international fans of SHINee. This requires effort from the members and the staff, so help us to be the best that we can be.

2. No anti-type remarks, racist/derogatory terms, swearing, sexually explicit material, or hurtful language.

- Opinions, positive or negative, are okay but insults are not.
- Keep everything rated PG-13. We have young members and don't want to expose them to things they shouldn't see.

- The swear filter is on which will turn swears into ridiculous capitalized phrases.

- Trying to bypass the filter will result in a warning.
- The only exception to this rule is stories in the Fan Fictions section but in moderation.

3. No spamming or posting topics/replies with less than 10 words.

- Copying and pasting your replies in more than one topic counts as spam.

- If you double post in a topic, PM the Moderator of that forum to delete it.

4. Do not claim a celebrity to be yours or argue over pairings.

- Do not fight over which OTP is the best OTP. People have different perceptions and preferences.

The revised rules are very crystal clear, I like it Hopefully all members will abide by the rules

Ah, I really like these new rules. They're specific towards everything so it makes it easier to understand. And I really like the thing explaining the signature; hopefully we'll get less rule breakers for that. Hahaha.

i love sfi so much, i dont want it to went down again.
i will definitely follow all these rules.
sfiers, lets behave yeah!

i have read these rules and i'll try my hardest to follow it! thank you so much

i just reread the rules again..
i missed sfi. T.T
brand new look ^^::

✓ I have agreed to all the terms and conditions and I will do my best to obey the rules and laws of SFI. hehehe... thank you all for fixing the site!

I have read and understood the new rules, I'll do my best to follow them. :3 They're fair and easy to understand too~

keke since I didnt really pay my attention to the previous rules, I think these rules are kind of general for forums. well, maybe except those no ads parts (since I just found that rule here)

but anyway, imma make sure i'll follow the rules. just well, hope I got them all good XD

Have read and understood the newly revised rules Loving the neat format as well
I've missed SFI so much. Glad to see you back <3 x

New rules i'll try my best to follow them! but the signature and avatars things always mess me up >< i should go check on mine now

alrightyy new rulesss (its so neat and organized btw o___o)
read all of it every single word will follow them.

thanks for these rules now i can figure out what i can and can't do on SFI XDDD i'm glad its back up and running!

Thanks for the new SFI rules! I will follow them diligently (:

The new rules are really well organized and clear. I love how you showed examples of what is and what isn't allowed as a signature; it'll probably help a lot of people out who don't understand some of the signature rules.
I'll be doing my best to comply with these rules!
Thanks for these!
