New or amended rules are posted in pink! Thanks.
Welcome Citizens of Oz, to Verdigris, a message board for fans of the hit Broadway musical “Wicked.” This board is meant to be a fun loving place where fans can gather to appreciate and discuss the show, the cast, the music and the novel. But before there can be a celebration throughout Oz that’s all to do with Verdigris some things must be addressified.
Firstly, before anything else is can be done, we must introduce ourselves. We are TheBoz, or Board of Oz. We are the few, the proud, the wicked who run this humble little place. In no specificated order we are:
SugarTherapy (The Thropp)
Cate (Caitlinda)
ChancetoFly (Jaelena)
Elphie (Sister Saint Aelphica)
Gypsy (Gypserie)
SaSa (Madam Sarrible)
Any one of us can be contacted via PM, and don’t hesitate to do so! Also we all have that little yellow person under our names. It’s an AIM icon, feel free to IM us. One of us is almost always online, and will be glad to help you with any questions you may have. We don’t bite. Now onto the rulifications….
Citizens of Oz: As your friendly, neighborhood BoZ, we ask that these rules be followed so that we can be one wickedly wonderful board:
1) Stay ON TOPIC in the on topic threads. All off topic craziness should head to the OT board!
2) The only acceptable text color is the default board color, with the exception of blacking out spoilers. (And please do so, since not everyone has seen the show or read the novel.)
3) Respectify your fellow posters, your friendly neighborhood BoZ, the actors in the show, and most importantly, the RULES.
4) DO NOT SWEAR. To preserve the integrity of fanfiction, we will not be using the automatic edit feature to change profanity. This means we all need to watch our language.
5) All explicit fanfic must have a warning. If you're not old enough to read it, don't read it. If you're not old enough to read it, and you do so anyway, the only person held accountable for that is you. Blame will not be placed on the author, nor on any member of TheBoz.
6) Only one username per person.
7) Keep it civil. Good natured jokifying is one thing, but nastiness for nastiness' sake will NOT be tolerated. If you're experiencing a problem with someone, PM a Bozian and let them handle it. Likewise, if you are the problem, and are repeatedly harassing other members/disobeying the board rules, you WILL be hearing from your friendly neighborhood mods.
8) A mind is a terrible thing to waste so please think about what you say before you say it. Think twice, post once. Should you make a mistake, there’s always a modify button. And if TheBoZ agree that any post is inappropriate or breaks board rules, we won’t hesitate to pull it.
9) Spam: 1) posting for the sake of posting....we all can tell what it is 2) anything that isn't close to topic...we're all guilty of slightly off topicness, but if you see the word "fabulous" in someone's post and then make an entry about the rapper of the same name....THAT is considered spam. 3) Posts containing only "yes" "no" "I agree" "I disagree" "cute" or anything along those lines. 4) Not allowed.
10) Discussion of the actors private lives, backstage gossip, rumors ect are strictly PROHIBITED. That means NO. If it’s been posted somewhere credible like playbill.com or broadway.com then it’s fine. But if your third cousin twice removed heard it from his girlfriend’s sister’s ex boyfriend who is a stage hand…no. Just…no.
11) The BoZ reserve the right to shut down any thread or delete any post that we think has the potential to cause (or has begun to cause) any wickedness on the board. If the BoZ deletes your individual post for any reason, you will be PMed with a reason why. Please don’t post about the issue on the board, as it doesn’t pertain to other board members.
12) Bootlegs are illegal and, as such, there will be no bootleg trading on this board.
13)We expect that our board members will be truthful, whether they are discussing show bloopers, cast events, stage door experiences, or just life in general. If we feel a statment is dishonest, we will do our best to find out the truth of the situation, and ensure that everything on the board be as factual as possible. However, this is up to the discretion of the BoZ, and if you feel someone is falsifying information on the board, please deal with us via PM or IM, not the board itself, and we will look into the problem.
14) If something bad is happening on Verdigris, someone's got to PM the BoZ. We'll make it right. That's why we have the BoZ!
15) The BoZ reserve the right to modify these rules as we see fit.
The goal of Verdigris is to be a happy Wicked loving fan board, and with your help we can be just that. So post and post often and all will be well in our little Ozified world!
Thank you all!
TheBoZ
