Welcome to the official forum of the "The Dragon Prince" wiki! This forum is the only platform used by our wiki to socialize with visitors and the editors of the wiki, so should you spot someone who claims to own a server or other projects that link back to our wiki, please make us aware! This forum serves as extension of fandom's Discussion widget and is not meant to support all forms of fandom aspects, please keep that in mind! To nerd out freely over the fandom, we suggest websites such as Tumblr or Twitter instead! All content in this forum should be related to The Dragon Prince.
General Communication
Please treat every member of our forum with respect and kindness, regardless of their activity or status. Treat others how you wish to be treated. If you feel attacked or uncomfortable by something a user typed, please send a private message to the admins and block the user in question. Any form of behavior that others may find offensive or hurtful is discouraged. This includes disrespect towards the LGTB+ community and other statements that support hatred. Be mindful of other users. Not everyone is comfortable talking about certain topics. If another user brings up an issue, be respectful and consider changing the topic or moving it to private message.
As our forum's focus lies on The Dragon Prince fandom, off-topics regarding the outside world should be kept to a minimum and socializing that goes beyond the fandom should be taken to other social media or messengers (such as Discord or Teamspeak). Never give away personal information and do not give anyone your password, home address, facebook, or other links that could lead back to your true identity on our forum grounds.
Usernames
Your username is free to pick here, with the exception of some major TDP character names (no one should be sad a name was snatched away after all). We appreciate if your username matches your wiki name. If not, consider linking your wiki profile in the Introduction thread!
Contact and Wiki Business
Please read the Wiki Policy before posting in this topic. Reminder that our wiki is always kept up to date by passionate editors, but that none of us are paid and missing content can take a bit to be added.
If you have a suggestion for our wiki such as potential pages that you think could be a good addition, or categories/other features, please visit our Contact topic. Note that only users who have made at least 10 comments in our forum can leave suggestions, as we want to reassure the suggestion comes from someone who values the community and is not a temporary visitor. Only genuine threads will be visited and your suggestion will be put on the official Suggestion List, where you can view your status as Approved, Declined or Pending. If your suggestion is declined, a reason will be stated on the list. Be polite and understanding if your suggestion does not make it onto our wiki, it's nothing personal. We discourage suggestion spam, meaning you should try to only suggest thing one at a time. Attacks on admins will result in a direct ban.
The Contact topic may also be used to make our top editors aware of mistakes that you may feel to shy or inexperienced to fix on your own, or to report a harasser. It may not be used to ask questions relating to existing articles or rules (please do so on the actual wiki instead).
Age and mature content
Seeing as the show is aimed at children and teenagers, our forum does not support any mature content, including, but not limited to: Sexual content, mention of abuse and drugs, curse language, insulting and discussion of politics and religion. In order to chat here, you must be at least 13 years of age and all content should be kept pg-13 at all times. Should you fake your age and we find out, you will be banned from the forum and potentially the wiki as well, as we will be able to see your IP.
Creating Topics
Flooding the topics with threads about similar or the same topic is discouraged. Keep in mind that everyone should be given the same chance to create a thread, so try not to create more than one thread per day and consider joining other discussions instead if they interest you. Switching topics inside a thread is welcome. Before starting a theory thread, consider to revisit the wiki and make sure your theory isn't already debunked or unsupported by facts stated on the wiki (such as the theory that Harrow is not dead).
Fandom and Images
Like on our wiki, we do not support fanart or fan created content in our forum to avoid copyright issues, so please refrain from using our forum as advertisement grounds for your creations. You are free to link your social media (with exclusion of facebook) in the Introduction topic, or link your friends your creations in private messages. Images should be of considerable size and not take up half the screen when being inserted. If an original image is too large, consider resizing it with an art program before uploading it here. Resized images can be uploaded as links using websites such as imgur.
Ranks
Our forum uses ranks which determines who can participate in certain topics, including [Rank (Post number)]: Visitor (0-10), Member (10-50), Apprentice (50-500), Mage (500-1000), Master (500-2000) and Archmage (2000+)
These numbers are currently in testing and subject to change. Only users above the "Visitor" rank may make suggestions in the Contact topic, to assure the user is not a one time visitor. The user may not cheat themselves posts however just to achieve gain of this rank. Users are discouraged to post in the forums just to upgrade the ranks, as they serve no further purpose.
Spam
Spam inside topics or spam of threads will result in a warning, and if further ignored in a ban.
Topic Life
If a topic has been dead for at least 30 days, please do not revive the thread, as it was very likely discontinued for a reason. Topics may be moved to the Archive if this period has been met.
