    READ Posting in the SGU Folder READ

    Over time GateWorld Forum has endeavored to re-direct itself back to the original purpose for its conception. To be a fan Forum where Stargate Fans can come to express their opinions regarding all things Stargate AND make some friends along the way.

    To this end a "Community Vision Statement" was presented and implemented across the Forum.

    The purpose of the CVS is to help you as members of GateWorld understand the Community standards we expect you to live up to. Along with the basic rules, you are expected to uphold the CVS in both context and in spirit.

    We at GateWorld understand change is never easy nor is it always accepted by Fans. To that end we have allowed time for Fans to mourn the cancellation of one incarnation of Stargate. We have also allowed time for Fans to begin to get an understanding of the latest Stargate offering. However, we have come to the realization that the courtesy extended has allowed for in-direct and direct abuse of the rules as well as the spirit of the CVS.

    GateWorld welcomes any and all opinions regarding the new show Stargate: Universe, be they positive or negative. But we have always made it a priority that all opinions expressed be respectful and constructive.

    GateWorld Forum holds its members to a higher standard of Community. We do not believe that being free to express your opinion means we as a Community must endure continuous un-commutative posts. Posts that are only being made to bash/degrade/flame the various incarnations of Stargate, the cast, crew and/or members that enjoy them on a continuing basis, but not to further discussion, are not welcome here. Also not welcome, are posts that accuse someone of starting a hate thread simply because they express critique of the show, nor posts that call other people trolls, bashers, etc simply for expressing a dissenting opinion about certain aspects of SGU or any other Stargate incarnation.

    We have an expectation of all our Members to express their opinions in a thoughtful, constructive manner whether they be positive or negative. Posts that are unable to do that will be removed and the person possibly placed in a review status if they are unable to alter their posting behavior.

    As much as GateWorld Forum values every member, we do understand that it is not the Forum for everyone. Due to the fact that we do hold our members to a higher standard and foster Community discussion, we understand not every person can hold to or have that same standard for their own behavior. With that in mind, GateWorld Forum understands that for some it would be better if they found a different Internet home to state their views and opinions.

    GateWorld Forum is proud to be able to have such a diverse Community willing to discuss their opinions regarding Stargate: Universe. However, if you find that you are unable to post anything beyond how much you hate the show. We would once again remind you of the CVS and one of its main directives. "Find something you DO like and enjoy it". Possibly that would be elsewhere on the Forum outside of the SGU Folder. However, if you are unable to do that, we then invite you to do some searching and possibly find another Forum on the internet where you can post whatever and not be held to our higher standards.

    Thank You for being part of our Community
    The GateWorld Forum
