- Do not disable or screen comments to your entries.
- Follow the Terms of Service you singed up with by registering with LJ!
- Make good use of your public school education.
- All opinions are welcome here as long as you restrain from bashing or insulting. This includes respecting everyone's opinion!
Specified Rules:
- If you'd like to post about something that isn't specified anywhere in the rules, just go ahead and post it!
- Do not link to pages or images that require a password or a registration!
- Any image containing spoilers or exceeding 400 pixels in width, 200 pixels in height and 150kb must be behind a LJ-cut!
- No hoop-linking of any kind! If you link to something, then only use deep-linking!
- All links are to be posted outside of a cut! Making people click a cut just to reach a link is no longer allowed!
- Since the big CreativityGate (One,Two) we've decided that it's okay again to post Icons and Fanfiction and everything else! However we do have formating rules for:
- Icons (10+ only)
- Fanfiction
- Fan Videos
- Wallpapers/Headers (3+)

As the community has decided, we no longer allow RPF's to be posted. ( Read more... )

We have also decided that we no longer allow posts regarding friending memes. Those interested in friending memes can visit ours - here.

Any other kind of graphic art must go behind a cut!
- No entries/comments concerning episode downloads are permitted. We have a list of legal sites here.
- Feel free to advertise other Bones communities, but please keep it down to once a month. (See also our Affiliation-Program!)
- No Spoilers outside a cut! (S4 and S5 are considered spoilers!) Make sure you label your spoilers properly so people know for what episode the spoilers are!
Also don't use spoilery icons for your posts. If you need to discuss spoilers in comments, make sure they belong to the appropriate entry and you don't go and spoile others that don't want to be spoiled!
- Do not post Beta-Reader-Requests to the community. We have a post that should cover all your needs in reagard to this here.
If you need more information on one of the rules you can drop us a comment here.

Please Note: Sometimes we will ask you to edit your entry rather than just delete it. In this case we give you 24hrs to edit the entry. If it is not edited within that time frame, we will delete the entry without further warning.

Please respect the rules and follow them. One of the mods is slightly obsessed with the Deus Ex Machina law and will use if it tempted to.
MODERATION
Why is the community being moderated?
This was changed in December 2006 due an increase of people that made posts that were against our rules. The current status is that we give auto-approval after your 3rd post that followed the rules. This way regular posters won't be moderated but only new members will be. However we reserve the right to have certain members on permanent moderation after several breaking of the rules.
MAINTAINERS
We are currently 10 maintainers. The account 206_mods is a shared account which all mods have access to. We use it to post general announcements about the community and rule changes, etc.

However, we have each written a short bio, so you get the general idea who is behind this community. You can read them here.

Please respect the mods, we try to make this a friendly place for everyone. You can contact us at moderatingbones.
ADVERTISING US
In case you'd like to advertise the community we have a few buttons you can use on any site or journal.
