Hello, and welcome aboard! We are happy to have you!
We are a grassroots nerd herd who want to maintain an alternate place to discuss our ideas and theories in ASoIaF. We do have co-moderators, because we believe in teamwork and want to work together to provide an enjoyable experience for all our members. However, we are an inclusive group, and want everyone to feel comfortable here.
We want to try and keep an organized board for the purpose of easier navigation when searching for topics of discussion. We have forum areas for chatting as well as venting -- we want to try and stay on topic so we can find subjects as seamlessly as possible. However, you are always free to talk about HBO's Game of Thrones within the books discussion.
Our goal is to keep moderation to a minimum. If we all act like grown-ups, this is a non-issue. Attack the idea (we encourage this) but not the person. Stay on topic and respect the flow of information and ideas.
Don't disrupt discussions with personal drama. If you want a playground fight, take it to the Trial by Combat thread. You can even ask for a Champion! Not that we guarantee one.
If someone is bothering you, ignore them. If someone crosses the line, let a mod know. We have and will use a warning point system, and we will ban if we must.
But we made this forum to talk about the books, so we'd rather not be arsed.
