In CinemaSins fashion, this thread is all about what not to do on the hype. Just to give you a few examples:

  • Don't put up a poll asking what two irrelevant movies are better.
  • Never reference Citizen Kane in your argument, it's a pointless rebuttal to fall back on when a movie is being criticize.
  • Don't have numbers in your name unless you're me.
  • Don't be a DarkSentinel.

You know, stuff like that.
 
Don´t say cake is better than pie & vice versa. :o
 
momma flippin'

VEGGIE COMICS

Don't do it kids
 
Don't respond to me with "well that's just your opinion"

No s*** Sherlock, of course its my opinion, stop wastin' my time
 
*don't post spoilers (images,text etc)
 
Don't make typos on the title of your threads? :o
 
Don't post a thread asking people to vote and then say "wait, how do I post a poll?" :o

Don't post a youtube video if you don't know how to use youtube tags :ninja:
 
Don't feed the Fantastic Four threads after midnight.
 
Don't quote multiple images just to post "lol".
 
don't post a warning that the videos you're posting have profanity, and then be surprised that you got infracted for it lol
 
Points against you if you commit one of the following sins in the BvS boards:

"Cavill is balding" (+1 sin)
"Batman's neck is too fat on the Empire cover" (+1 sin)

"Batman's gauntlets are bronze or black" (+1 sin)
"Eisenberg isn't threatening enough" (+1 sin)
"WB doesn't know what they are doing" (+1 sin)
"I'm going to pretend David Goyer wrote this movie and not Chris Terrio" (+5 sins)
"You know what? Tyrese Gibson really should be John Stewart!" (+5 sins)
"I can see Aquaman in that one underwater trailer shot!" (+5 sins)
"WB should be more like Marvel" (+5 sins)
"Gal Gadot is too skinny" (+5 sins)
"I hate the new Batsuit" (go **** yourself)

BONUS ROUND (Suicide Squad edition)

Now see here good sir, for i take offence to the 3rd point! :sly:

No offense but I think that's one of the dumbest rules on the hype. I seen many posters use curse words in posts ( even though they are censored) and no mod comes after them for it. Most of the posters here are in their 20's and onward (even if they don't always act like it) and we all have heard curse words before in our life. So I don't get why people get infractions for posting links to videos with with strong language even if they give a warning or label it NSFW.
 
This is a site where we talk about people who run around in tight clothes and beat each other and it's not an adult site despite that. Kids will come here so we should behave.

Besides, the owner wants it to be PG so we obey or get out.

the forums are PG
censors block curse words when you type them here.
just because you label something doesn't mean it gets a pass when it's not allowed here

and fwiw, you wouldn't know if a mod "came after someone" unless the mod did it publicly, or the member brings it up. there are many here who can attest to the fact that i've edited posts and/or messaged them privately about stuff they've posted that isn't allowed. i tend not to infract unless its done repeatedly, ignoring warnings
 
I don't want to learn any of the filthy words you guys use in day to day life. I have my innocence to protect.
 
Someone quoted another just to :facepalm: and say nothing else.
 
Kane is going to be afflicted with a mortal Aziz for that sin

I just hope its not contagious
