This has been an existing rule for a while, but I figured that I might as well make it official so that we don't have any more confusion.
Thou shall not create VS threads in any of the Other Media boards.
Q: What is a VS thread?
A: A VS thread is basically a thread in which you have two things "versus" each other. Some examples would be "Sasuke vs. Naruto" "Sasuke versus Zuko" "Sasuke VS the whole world"
Q: But what's so bad about having a versus thread anyway?
A: There is basically no worthwhile conversation present in VS threads. The usual discussions go something like, "No way, but Sasuke is totally better than Naruto!" "Oh yeah, well maybe that's because he's just a ball of rolling angst and bad character development!" "Oh yeah? Oh yeah!? Well you're mom is a ball of rolling angst and bad character development!" "*tears*"
That is obviously an exaggeration. Bear with me.
Sometimes, it does actually happen that there is meaningful discussion in VS threads. But these conversations are misplaces, as they would much better fit in the thread of the show that they are discussing.
To conclude, nothing good ever comes from pitting people against each other, and that is precisely what VS threads are designed to do.
Q: T_T
A: ^_^
Q: Are there any exceptions to these rules?
A: Yep. As of the current time, these rules will not take affect in the sub-board for Naruto and FMA. This is because those are basically "spam your heart out boards" where you can rant and rave because FMA and Naruto are awesome and we all know it. If we do see some escalating hostility, however, we may be inclined to extend this rule to include the sub-boards.
Also, these rules do not apply to the other boards on DH, such as the Avatar General board. Not my jurisdiction, not my decision.
