lollipop_monkey Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Jack - you're awesome! That's going to be hugely helpful to new members. One thing: "Mika’s manager, Jerry Blair, is based out of the US and Jerry accompanies Mika while he’s in North America. John is his tour manager and works with Mika in Europe." John was also present on this last US tour, so he's not a strictly European fixture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humphrey Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Really, Yasmine confirmed it? I haven't heard that, that's pretty cool! If you can link me to where she talked about it, I will add it to the answer right-off. --Jack Yup, she did. She didn't talk about it though. She just confirmed it when the interviewer doubted Mika hehe. I see that you've already changed it but I tracked down the interview on youtube anyway. (It wasn't as hard as I'd thought ) Mika starts talking about the whole subject at around 3:00 and the "Humphrey, we're leaving" part is at about a minute later. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aScnzu8JM7E Plus, it's a great interview (of three parts)! well, not much important but I thought it was interesting . wav grace.wav - 0.49MB >>> "humphrey we're leaving" (by Mika's voice) Wow that's cool! Thanks for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 JackViolet - awesome piece of work! And the tips about the forums are really helpful, the forum FAQs are a bit too technical. And is this going to be made available in other languages, for the fans who don't speak English as their first language? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcdeb Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hey Jack, could you add something about closed threads? Maybe something like: Q: Hey, I went to post in my favorite thread and it's closed! What happened? A: If it was a really popular thread, it probably was nearing 3000 posts, which is the maximum number of posts we'd like in any one thread -- too many more than that tends to slow the forum down. When a moderator sees a thread nearing 3000 posts s/he will close it and ask the originator or an active poster in the thread to start a new one, and then will link to it. Another reason your thread may be closed is if it was a duplicate of another that was already started. Finally, your thread may have been closed due to an extreme circumstance such as arguing or sexual content. Contact a moderator to determine the reason. Thanks! dcdeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdeb Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 OK, more additions/changes: MikaFanclub FAQ:Forum Rules: The MFC is a world-wide community of fans, and as such it is important that we make sure to treat everyone with respect and contribute to an open, comfortable atmosphere for all posters. This is a very open forum, IMO. But it is moderated in an attempt to keep everyone civil and create a friendly environment for everyone. Since we've had a couple requests recently for clearer guidelines on what is and isn't allowed, I've tried to refine or clarify some of these points. Not sure if you want to add the info here, Jack, or make additional Questions/Answers items. --Hateful language, including but not limited to racist, sexist and/or bigoted speech is prohibited here. I think that's pretty clear. No putting someone down due to their religion, sex, race, physical impairment... -- Personal insults or attacks are also prohibited Again, pretty clear, right? No mocking someone because of their appearance, or the way they speak, or the amount of time they spend on the forum, no calling someone stupid or a moron just because their opinion is different from yours, that sort of thing... And no hiding behind saying it was meant as "a joke", or or white text! Just saying you didn't mean something as an insult doesn't make it any less of one. -- Posts containing obscene or pornographic material will be deleted While some may say that obscenity/pornography is subjective -- well, I guess you'll have to live with what we mods decide. We are a fairly liberal bunch, but there are some things that simply are inappropriate. -- avoid swearing, explicit sexual posts, or other content that may be inappropriate This would include posts that describe a sex act, or strongly imply one. This also includes the form of fanfiction known as "slash" -- which would be sex between a celeb and a fan. As far as swearing -- well, the forum automatically xxxx out certain words. But there are some that it doesn't catch, and you may be asked to stop using those words by a moderator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackViolet Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 fanfiction known as "slash" -- which wouldbe sex between a celeb and a fan. Deb--"slash" is fanfic specifically dealing with a male-male romantic relationship, celebrity or not. Let's not single that out and just say that we don't don't do sexually explicit fanfic, period. I think adding these clarifications to the initial post may prove too cumbersome, but I'll link your post. If/when these become official FAQ (ie, ot on the boards but having their own page linked from the MFC homepage), I'm sure deano can code it so that the clarifications show up either when you click on the rules, or when you put your pose over them. --Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to add your question about threads being closed to the appropriate section but could not... I can no longer add any questions to the post as it stands, I think, because it exceeds the maximum number of characters. Darnit. All the more reason for Deano to give these their own page... --Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcdeb Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Jack, I've been thinking that there might be need for one more Q, since you mention the possibility of banning. Q. What is banning? What is an infraction? A. If the moderators "ban" a user, that means that user will not be able post on this forum. A temporary ban means that the user will not be able to post for a specific period of time -- a permanent ban is only applied if a user is persistently abusive or otherwise continuously disregards the forum guidelines. An infraction is a notice applied to a user's account to denote that they have somehow violated the forum guidelines. You'll see the infraction in the user profile, with the reason the infraction was given. In general, we do not want to ban any members, although spammers and those who post pornography will be immediately banned. In other situations, here are the general guidelines for issuing a ban. 1. If a user violates the forum guidelines, a moderator first sends a warning via a private message (PM). 2. If the user continues to disregard the warnings, an infraction is placed against the account. 3. If a user receives three infractions, they will be banned from the forum temporarily, usually for one week. 4. If, after returning from a temporary ban, a user continues their pattern of negative behavior, they may be permanently banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I think we have to consider that a lot of fans don't have English as their first language, so the FAQs and answers need to be as clear and simple as possible .
