Having an argument with another member is allowed. Substantively criticizing or analyzing the opinions, views, or statements of another member is acceptable. However, criticizing another member as a person for whatever views they may hold is not acceptable. Please discuss arguments, not each other. Racial, ethnic, gender based insults or any other personal discrimination will not be tolerated. Spamming & Non-constructive posts. The following is a (non-exhaustive) list of what may be considered spamming and will be deleted without warning: Commercial or unsolicited (standard) spam, advertisements, and self-promotion with the intention of making revenue off of clicks, affiliate links, advertisements, or products. Creating a new topic in order to draw attention to another topic. Responding to a post in another topic by creating a new topic. Creating several new topics at once. If you have multiple questions, please group them under one topic. For Q&A, look for "newbie" threads. Making short or non-nonsensical responses or threads in order to increase your post count/solution count/reputation farming (ex. "FIRST!"-type posts). Posting solely of content (videos, memes or similar images, etc) without contributing to the discussion. Cross-universe "Versus" topics. Cross-posts (posting the same thing in 2 different threads). Kanye West Posts generated by AI. Topic Bumping. Please do not "bump" your thread excessively. If nobody is responding to your thread, it may be because nobody is interested rather than people not seeing it. Though some bumping will be allowed sporadically (once per day), excessive bumping (several times per day) is not permitted. Private Communication Via Public Forums. The forums are not a substitute for email or instant messenger. Please use the board's private messenger function or email for direct contact with members. Bandwidth Stealing. Please do not post an image here in our forums only to then link to it from other websites or forums. Avatars - Size Limitations. Avatars must be no larger than 200Kb. Resolution should be 128x128. For optimal appearance, you should resize your avatar before uploading it. Though the forum software will scale a larger image to 128x128, it will not look as good as it would were you to upload a pre-sized image. Animated avatars are allowed provided that their content does not violate any Macross World forum usage rules or guidelines. Signatures - No Images. Signatures must be limited to text only. No images are allowed in signatures. Text signatures should be no taller than eight lines of standard-sized text. Poll Spamming. Please do not post several polls at once. If there are already two polls visible and underway in a forum, please wait until they fall off the first page before making a new one. During periods of heightened activity, polls may be automatically closed after two weeks. Non-Descriptive Topic/Click-bait Titles. Please do not create topics with non-descriptive or misleading titles. Forum staff may rename topics with inappropriate titles. Multiple Accounts. Users may only have one account on Macross World. Registering more than one account for the purpose of posting while posing as someone other than yourself (original account) is prohibited. If you do not remember your old account or wish to rename your account, please contact administration. Copyrights and Trademarks - Fan art and Reproduction of original casts/molds Discussions pertaining to direct listings, sales, resales, trades, auctions, raffles/lotteries or direct web links to offsite listings, sales, resales, trades, auctions, raffles/lotteries of any recasted items or parts of items without consent of those product originators are not allowed on Macross World. Macross World is not associated or liable for any user-generated artwork or original custom items or parts. Copyrights and Trademarks - File sharing and Streaming links File sharing and streaming links, discussion of file sharing or non-official media streaming are not allowed on this website. MacrossWorld.com is NOT a file sharing nor a media streaming website. Please go elsewhere. Spoiler policy Discussions detailing story or character plots prior to release date MUST use spoiler tags. [spoiler]spoiler material here[/spoiler] Exceptions may applied. TV shows: Spoiler tags are required for 48 hours after the original air date. Movies: Spoiler tags are required for 10 days after weekend of the release date. Novels/Printed material: Spoiler tags are required for 2 months after release date. Section II: Staying On-Topic This forum is a Macross discussion forum. Therefore, topics discussed here should be limited to topics that interest Macross fans. If a topic is not specifically about Macross, it should have broad appeal among Macross fans. The 'Anime or Science Fiction' section exists on these forums because those genres are generally appealing to a vast majority of Macross fans. That is not to say, however, that every thread in that section is therefore exempt from the "Off-topic" rule. You may love the movie "Megaforce," and it may indeed be a science-fiction movie. But, that does not necessarily mean that "Megaforce" is entitled to its own thread in the "Anime or Science-Fiction" section. The staff reserves the right to delete and/or lock topics that are deemed to be off-topic at their sole discretion. Section III: Robotech Robotech may be discussed only as it relates to Macross. We do not want this forum to be another Robotech site. Macross World and its forums are dedicated to the original Japanese vision of Macross before Robotech changed so many aspects of it. Please do not just come here to attack or to defend Robotech or things related to it. Section IV: The For Sale and Trade Section Disclaimer - Buy, Sell, and Trade At Your Own Risk! These forums are provided to facilitate communication between private, independent parties that are interested in buying, selling, or trading Macross (and similar) merchandise.

This rule includes (prohibits) "Make me an offer" listings. Failure to post a price will subject the thread to immediate deletion. Items offered exclusively for trade only must be listed as such, otherwise they must have a posted price. Failure to do so may may subject the thread to immediate deletion. For clarification purposes it should be assumed that potential buyers posting "dibs", "PM Sent," or other such posts in sale/trade listings should not expect any special consideration given to them by the seller for being "first in line" unless they have heard directly from the seller that they are indeed the purchasing party. Always rely primarily on direct communication and confirmation from the seller. Do not assume that you are guaranteed an item by being first to post in a thread.
