Forum Rules

The reason these boards were created was to give fans and players a place to discuss the game and the TV series. This includes, but is not limited to; card talk, tournaments, the TV show and characters, dream cards, deck strategies, and finding opponents. Score Entertainment also encourages communities to form groups and conduct these types of discussions. Score Entertainment promotes respect and an overall sensitivity to all its members and does not condone the use of its boards as an arena for people to voice opinions outside of the general board theme. People of every age visit these message boards, and as such, each User’s conduct should reflect this all-inclusive environment.


You agree to abide by Inuyasha TCG Official Message Board rules, including:

1) Profanity, in any form, is not allowed.

A) Self-censoring (such as with asterisks) is still considered profanity.

B) Any attempt to override the censors on profanity through the use of spacing, symbols, white text, or any other means is not allowed. This does not apply to words that are really innocent but happen to have the word inside, such as "pass." Misuse of this exception, just to put in profanity, is still considered profanity.

2) Spam is not allowed.

A) Topics must be open for discussion, or at least be a strong enough statement that it is very likely that people will respond.

B) All topics must have some kind of point to them beyond basic things. "Inuyasha's cool," for example, is unacceptable. However, it is acceptable to make the topic around "What has Inuyasha done to be so cool?"

C) Advertising is a topic not open for discussion, and it is considered spam.

D) Do not post the same message in multiple forums. That's considered “flooding” and is another form of spam. Unless all of them are actually different, a surge of new topics suddenly by a member is flooding.

E) Topics must stay on the subject originally intended. For example, don't start by talking about Inuyasha and then later on change the topic to "I can make great pancakes."

F) This message board is meant for everyone to talk, not just two people. No discussions directed at specific individuals are allowed.

G) Unless the topic actually involves a huge word, do not make any word or string of letters/symbols that is so large it stretches the screen.

H) If you have a post that gets edited often, remove the blank lines that appear on the bottom after the first edit.

I) If you are the last one to post in a topic, do not post again. If you have something new to say, edit your last post instead.

J) Do not post simply to bring a topic up in the list (otherwise known as “bumping”).

3) You may not provoke, exclude, or otherwise negatively target other users or groups through topics or comments.

A) Rude behavior will not be tolerated.

B) Inflammatory topics include, but are not limited to, religious beliefs, political viewpoints, and other controversial topics.

4) Signatures must adhere to the rest of the rules (with the exception of advertising) and may be up to 4 lines and may not contain more than 255 characters as viewed on an 800 x 600 monitor resolution.

5) No images are allowed.

6) No trading is allowed.

7) Discussions of how good a trade was/could be are allowed, because it is not actually trying to trade with board members.

8) Anything that is done solely for the purpose of attracting traders and/or negotiating trades with board members is forbidden.

9) Nothing of sexual content is allowed. This includes, but not limited to, sexual preferences or relationship questions.
