Fanclub Rules [including FC Approval Process]!!UPDATED SEPT. 08, 2009!! READ!!

[Robo-Pope]

Things to do before you PM a section moderator for permission to make your FC..

People here are stupid, so we now have at least 3 copies of most FC's.
New rule: USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION (http://forums.narutofan.com/search.php) BEFORE YOU POST A FC.
It's in the top right corner. Use it.

~> All major Naruto-related fanclubs listed here.

It's understandable if you searched and still couldn't find an existing FC. The search function isn't perfect, and you won't be punished for making an honest mistake.

However, use a little common sense. In a forum this large that has been around for some time, it's safe to assume that fanclubs for popular characters like Hinata and Rock Lee have been made already. If you've searched and still can't find something, then please ask in the FC issues thread.

~Ruri

[Naruko]

UNTIL OTHERWISE STATED, ALL FC's MUST HAVE APPROVAL OF A SECTION MODERATOR PRIOR TO CREATION.
Thankyou.*


Do not post duplicate fanclubs


One fanclub per character/pairing/etc. is enough, and duplicate FCs will be trashed. To avoid this, simply use the search function (http://forums.narutofan.com/search.php) (and read the search function FAQ (http://forums.narutofan.com/showthread.php?t=33089) as well if you‘re having trouble), check the fan club directories (Naruto FCs (http://forums.narutofan.com/showthread.php?t=143267), Bleach FCs (http://forums.narutofan.com/showthread.php?t=154860), One Piece FCs (http://forums.narutofan.com/showthread.php?t=119106)), or if you’re still unsure, PM the FC mod.

It's understandable if you searched and still couldn't find an existing FC. The search function isn't perfect, and you won't be punished for making an honest mistake.

In a forum this large that has been around for some time, it's safe to assume that fanclubs for popular characters like Hinata and Rock Lee have been made already.



When Requesting Ownership of a Fanclub That Already Exists:

1.
An owner must be dormant on the forums at least 30 days before we'll feel good in reassigning a fanclub. People go on vacations, they get busy with work, have to study for classes and have life events happen that take their attention away for a period of time.

2.
If an owner is active on the forums, but not in the Fanclub itself - you must show you have sent a PM to the owner at least once requesting ownership and waited at least 1 week for a response before asking staff for ownership. If the owner does not respond to you, an FC mod will then request the owner to respond. 1 week later if no reaction is given, then ownership can be revisited.

3. this one is important
THE ONLY THING AN ACTIVE OWNER IS TRULY REQUIRED FOR IS THE UPDATING OF THE FANCLUB MEMBER LIST AND BANNER/FANART POSTS. Keeping a fanclub active, enjoyable and entertaining is up to the members MORE SO than the owner.
Creating "NEW" fc's instead of reassigning existing ones is starting to garnish complaints from people who made banners for the older fc and weren't aware it was about to be remade. We want to see the "new new new *naruto character name* FC" trend stop because it's getting ridiculous.


Only post fanclubs


This may seem obvious, but some threads have been posted that are in no way a fanclub. If you have any questions regarding fanclubs, please post them in the FC issues thread (http://forums.narutofan.com/showthread.php?t=52402) or send a PM to the FC mod, rather than making a thread.


Post fanclubs in the right subsection


As you can see, the FC section is divided into subsections. Serious Naruto-related FCs belong in the main section, Joke FCs from Naruto and Bleach belong in the Joke FCs section, One Piece FCs belong in One Piece FCs, etc. Please read the subsection descriptions to decide where your FC belongs.


No flaming

If you hate a character or pairing, then please do not enter or post in the FC which does support it just to express your views.
If you like a character or pairing, then please do not enter or post in an FC that is Anti-that character or pairing.
Be happy with your fandoms, and let others be happy with theirs.



Do not post porn or other explicit material

Posting any explicit material or links to them is not allowed outside of the Bath House section, and will earn you a permanent ban.



No advertising


Do not enter a fanclub just to advertise, or advertise via PMs, as you will be banned for doing so.

Member Fanclubs


Fanclubs for members can only be made with the approval of the staff, so please send your requests to the mod of your choice, along with your reasons for why you think the member deserve an FC. =)



With that said, happy posting! :knk

_________

All Forum Rules continue to apply in the FanClub sections.

Here is a link to those rules:

http://forums.narutofan.com/announcement.php?f=32&a=116

Approval Process for Creating a FC

PM, VM or post in the FC Moderator Help Request Thread that you wish to make a FC. State the following info:

-The Title of the FC

-What purpose it will serve. I.E. What audience or community are you making it for. Making a FC for "cool posters to get together and chat" will not fly. Make it about something, please.

-Tell us you've checked for an existing FC that covers this and there is no FC covering it. We do not permit duplicate FCs, or "restarts". We can discuss giving you ownership of an existing, defunct, FC, if you wish.

-If we say it sounds good, go to the appropriate FC subsection and and make the FC.

-PM, VM or post in the FanClub Moderator Help Request Thread when you have made it. One of us will then go find the FC and mark it "approved" so it is visible to the forums.

-Enjoy!

[parker pyne]

I think you should shut down n4rut0 =\

A search button *gasp* My life just got better =P

[Urban]

What an unbelievable technologie we have on this forum. A search button? Damn, must've been quite shockig for those noobs.

[Uchihakaori]

People here are stupid, so we now have at least 3 copies of most FC's.
New rule: USE THE SEARCH BUTTON BEFORE YOU POST A FC.
It's in the top right corner. Use it.

are you like the boss of this whole fan club? i'm asking because you make lots of rules.

[Shunsui]

hmm, it seems you're new here. Vash is the Nazi Mod, and no he doesn't hate Jews (as far as i know) he's just strict, and an SMod. Getting on his bad side is strongly not suggested ^^

[Wave]

are you like the boss of this whole fan club? i'm asking because you make lots of rules.
you must be posting about why i moved the thread =|
well vash basically said it.
"no duplicate threads allowed"

hmm, it seems you're new here. Vash is the Nazi Mod, and no he doesn't hate Jews (as far as i know) he's just strict, and an SMod. Getting on his bad side is strongly not suggested ^^
yeah the dude was also new enough not to recognize that i was an SMod as well

[Robo-Pope]

Okay, I just spend a half hour cleaning out all the duplicate fanclubs, so the next member to make a duplicate will be executed.

[Kunoichi no Kiri]

This means you, Uchihakaori.

[Robo-Pope]

This means you, Uchihakaori.
Kaori just PM'ed me, apparently his sister likes to go on his account and make hundreds of fanclubs.

[Kunoichi no Kiri]

Wow, his sister's a prick. You wouldn't believe the flames she sent me.

[Robo-Pope]

Wow, his sister's a prick. You wouldn't believe the flames she sent me.
I'll assume you're being sarcastic.
With the whole "sister" thing, I don't really care, but I kinda believe him thanks to my experience with little brothers and eBay.

[Gensrul]

no kurenai-sensei fanclub at here?

[Ronin_Musashi]

Maybe you guys should stick this (http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/posting.php) in the posting rules thread (not that anyone ever reads it anyways....)

...just a suggestion

[Haruka]

I'm searching like hell for a search button but it just doesn't pop-up. I looked in the Top Righthand corner but it's not there....
Omg.
Edit: Ignore what i just posted.
I'm so dumb...

[Sublime]

I started using the search button today, but all I found was tons of useless posts that I've never seen before.

[De Monies]

sorry but i didnt know where else to put this - whenever i click on the search button and type in a search it just comes up with a completely white screen.. does anyone know whats is wrong with it or how to fix it? thanks :)

[love_elric]

if i wanted suicide i could post a second of one FC but im not ready for execution...

[Lucifer]

because where is Team 10 FC and 3rd Hokage FC???... tell me!!!.....

[ralfsmith]

Oh its very interesting. Could you provide me more information ?

johntvery@operamail.com

johntvery@hotmail.com

[Goawaykthx]

um um... I looked up Tsunada/Shizune and didn't find one. Can I start a Tsunada Shizune fc?

[Ruri]

um um... I looked up Tsunada/Shizune and didn't find one. Can I start a Tsunada Shizune fc?

That's fine, although you might want to make the relationship you had in mind (master & student/yuri paring/etc.) clear when you make the FC. :)

[basye]

Hey Ruri I just noticed that the demon brothers fc hasnt been open for a while just woundring if I could make a new one?

[Ruri]

Do you mean this FC?

http://forums.narutofan.com/showthread.php?t=26124

It's open & active. =)

[Hokage Naruto]

I used the search button a few times, and I want to make sure here. I want to know if there is a Maito Gai Fanclub? I know there are a few funny ones but a serious one dedicated to the real Gai

[Ruri]

There is a serious Gai FC:

http://forums.narutofan.com/showthread.php?t=54108

It's dead though, so let me know if you want to start a new one, and I'll close it.

[basye]

yes I did Ruri

[Ruri]

yes I did Ruri

Then I don't understand why you want to make a new one. The FC isn't the most active one here, but it's definitely not dead. I know the owner is still active, so you can PM her if you feel the FC isn't active enough or want to request ownership. =)

[basye]

thinks and could u delete a shino x ino fc please?

[Ruri]

Basye, from now on, if you could provide links to the FCs you have questions about, that would be really helpful.

I'm assuming you want me to landfill the Shino x Ino FC you made? =)

http://forums.narutofan.com/showthread.php?t=91949

[basye]

UM, Ya sorry ill try to do that next time

[Hokage Naruto]

I am going to make a new one, so yeah you can close it. I have some great ideas to get a really active one. :tem

[earthshine]

the mods need to start making copy fc's a bannable offense.


anyone who does not have enough common sense to know that a forum that has been operating for years would ALREADY HAVE a garaa fc(or any other major character one, as many copies have been made)

[basye]

Ruri plz delete this for me

http://forums.narutofan.com/showthread.php?t=92000

[Ruri]

^ Done.

Marc: I'll close that Gai FC - good luck with the new one. =)

[basye]

thanks ruri

[Harlita]

well? they do.

I'll even have other people perform the searches for me and the results are a big blank white page.

Still, I'd spend the time going through all the pages to ensure my FC doesn't already exist.

Some people are just.. click happy. :nod

[Ruri]

^I used to have that problem too when I did a basic search, but for some time now I've only done advanced searches & never have any trouble finding threads. =)

[GreggSwarz]

what do u put in the advance serch ? for instance ive ben tring to find if someone has or knows where to get the subs for naruto ova 3.
Ive tried to look for "Naruto ova3" and just ova3 but i dont seem to have any luck.

[Ruri]

^ I'm afraid that the third OVA hasn't been subbed yet. In general, though, try avoiding very common words if possible, and limit searches to specific forums or subforums. =)

[Fu-unHime_93]

OMG i just tried to search something.NOTHIN CAME UP!!!:scry

[Ruri]

^ What were you searching for?

[IIIPBZ]

... you mean there are people who don't use the search botton? that was the first thing i looked for, when i started posting...

[Harlita]

I'll assume you're being sarcastic.
With the whole "sister" thing, I don't really care, but I kinda believe him thanks to my experience with little brothers and eBay.

IM NOT ALONE?!

*kicks sibling*


Search function tends to offer no results.

For instance (in IE and FireFox) I search "Lemon"

I didn't get anything.

I'm looking to see if there is something about it in the tech section, but I did have to go through all the pages just to see if the Naruto Manga FC existed in order not to be shot by you or Ruri when I created it.


Ruri - thanks for letting me create it by the way. It's been a ride. Also I see you responded to my previous request - so thankas! I will try a more detailed search. :bow

[Ruri]

No need to thank me, Harley, you already did that with the cheesecake. ^__^ I hope your search experiences are more pleasant from now on. XD

[Whitest Rose]

*scoffs*
Like, HOW DARE YOU!
My search button doesn't work!
I have a Windows 98 Computer.
That's SLOW.
T__T
SO don't go insulting me.

[Ruri]

^Who insulted you? :huh

If you're having trouble with the search button, just PM me and I'll search for you. =)

[Whitest Rose]

^Who insulted you? :huh

If you're having trouble with the search button, just PM me and I'll search for you. =)


Because the first post said "apparently people here are stupid".
I'm using a diff computer ...
So I'll ask for help when needed. ^__^

[Ruri]

Ah, well Vash is just very straightforward, although it can be very annoying when some people continuously ignore the search button's existence. But yes, just ask whenever you need any help. ^_^

[Aditou]

Eh heh...The button's being difficult for me as well. Mind if I bug you about it via PM?

[Ruri]

^I don't mind it at all. PM whenever you need help. ^_^

The Kimimaro Official FC is dead and locked! I want to start a new one.
Can i borrow some banners from the old club?

[Ruri]

Like I said in the fanclub issues thread, the The new Kaguya Kimimaro Fan Club (http://forums.narutofan.com/showthread.php?t=104731) is very much alive and is not closed. If you search for "Kimimaro" you'll find the old FC, which is indeed dead and therefore locked, and the New Kimimaro FC, which you're welcome to join.

You know what? I use the Search button from the first time I´m here!!!
You should learn it too!!!
But I think that each new club has some reason why it is here...

[Chamcham Trigger]

There's gotta be a way to make this more obvious or something.

If anyone is having trouble with the search function, the FAQ (the link is in the first post of this thread) is really helpful. But if you're still having trouble, PM me or any member of the staff and we'll do our best to help. =)

You asked to join yesterday, and before your post the owner had kept the member list updated. I don't think the owner has forgotten about the FC, so give him a little bit of time to check the thread. If he still doesn't reply to your post after about a week, PM him and ask if he's still interested in owning the FC. If he's not, let me know and you can take over/start a new one.

I think he's not interested in the FC anymore.
I'd like to have the ownage if it's possible.

[Ruri]

The FC is yours now. ^__^

[Locard]

^:knk thanks! I'll do my best.

[Kero-Chan]

Here are some things I would like to say:

1) Ill join
2) Ill TRY to make a good banner, haven't in a while.
3) On the first post, including all the FC's, I would like to also make a post, including all FC's with Countries/Races. IE: Chinese FC (That I own), cause its just a quick little helper when your trying to find a FC that hasn't posted in a while. Also one with all Animes, so if you would let me do that, ill do that. :)

[Ruri]

^ This isn't really a fanclub, so no need to join. ^^ "FC" was just added to the title as a joke, and to get more people to read the thread. :D If you'd like to make a fanclub directory for any section, please PM Harlita, and you can work on it together. ^_^

Question:

http://forums.narutofan.com/showthread.php?t=138585&highlight=Inuyasha+Kagome

This FC has received no posts since it was created on Sept. 22nd, and I was wondering if I could possibly take it over and create a new. Or should I ask the original owner first?

Thanks. :D

[Ruri]

You could try posting there and wait to see if the owner replies, although the owner seems to have given up on it as well. It's best if you just send the owner a PM asking if it's alright with them for you to remake the FC. Give them about a week to get back to you, and if they don't just let me know and you can start a new FC. =)

[MoonLight Dreamer]

For some reason the search thing refuses to work. If I got advanced or just search it won't work. It refuses to work for me.

[Ruri]

^ That can happen sometimes. If you're doing an advanced search and you're still getting a blank screen (and you've checked any FC directories already as well), just send a PM to Harlita or myself and we'll check for you. :thumbs

[Boo-chan]

I just started a new FC.. Do I have to ask for permission somewhere?

[Ruri]

^No, as long as you've made sure that the FC you want to make hasn't been done already, you can make any FC you want (just be sure to post it in the right sub-section, though). ^_^ Otherwise, the only time you need mod permission is if you want to make a fanclub for a member.

What an unbelievable technologie we have on this forum. A search button? Damn, must've been quite shockig for those noobs.For your information, for some time the search function didn't work well, and I couldn't get results for the most obvious keywords, so don't bash people for not using it all the time, and that's why I don't rely on it as often.

Also, if you shut down inactive clubs, not only will the owners get angry, but someone will start another club on the same topic, as there isn't already a club, as the one that did exist shut down.

At you're not as bad as Newgrounds who shut my Psychic Academy FC because "there is already a fan club about psychics", only for the dumbasses to realise that Psychic Academy is in fact an anime show. It was shut down twice more without them informing me, I don't know why because I followed all the rules setting it up.

I'm sorry, I searched for both Sakura or Hinata x Anyone. There is a Sakura one, but I didn't see it, a Mod helped me out with that. Hinata x Anyone I couldn't find that either, so I tried to make it. But because there is a rule now, about you have to send your idea to a Mod, but I didn't know this. So, again I wanted to say sorry.
