Welcome to the Outskirts Battledome Introductory FAQ.
Greetings to you all. This FAQ was designed and mostly written by Comic Book Guy, with help from a whole slew of other posters in order to hopefully answer any of the basic questions that you would, could, and should know regarding the Outskirts Battledome of Naruto Forums -- and then some.
I, Haterade, am simply compiling and organizing this for CBG, who can no longer spend time working on this himself. He's done 90% of the work on this, although I've made some changes in places where I feel more, or less, needs to be said.
If you have any questions and concerns, or want to add to the FAQ, feel free to post your thoughts, and I will make the necessary edits.
FAQ updates and/or revisions will be marked by latest post of the thread. I also ask that you do not actually post in here. Your post will likely get deleted by a mod.

0. Being a Naruto Forums Poster (ya gotta know the basics!)
0.1 Foreword (in the beginning. . .)
Before the Outskirts Battledome, there is Naruto Forums. As such, you are a NF poster first and foremost before being a Battledomer. Always keep this in mind as you post.
0.2 The Rules (follow & abide by or be banned. No, you don't have a choice.)
The rules of Naruto Forums are as follows in the link below, as laid out by occasionalutopia.
http://forums.narutofan.com/announcement.php?f=97&a=116
This is mandatory reading for any member who wishes to post on Naruto Forums. It is expected of every member to know at least the basics of the rules outlined. To quote Hokage Naruto:
Read the forum's rules and the site's rules - You should do this for every forum/site, you visit. Make sure you understand what posts are allowed and not allowed so if you are banned you can't say, "I didn't know the rules.
0.3 The Forum Leaders (look up to your elders.)
The Forum Leaders are the moderators, administrators, and other notable persons key to Naruto Forums. To quote Blue, the creator of the Outskirts Battledome:
You can look up all the forum leaders under the forum leaders listing.
http://forums.narutofan.com/showgroups.php?
Under the moderators tab, you'll find the persons tasked with maintaining specific forums. If you have a question pertaining to a certain forum, PMing the moderator in charge of it would be the best course of action.
Under the administrators tab, you'll find the persons in charge of running the inner workings of the forum. If you have a question, the Administrators are probably not the best persons to ask - although we'll try to help, we're generally somewhat busy and may take some time to respond.
Under the "Akatsuki" tab you'll find the Super Moderators - moderators with knowledge of the entire forum and the ability to moderate any part of it. If you want to report something inappropriate that requires editing/removal, or have a question about the forum in general, asking an Akatsuki would be your best bet.
Shannaro! is our resident members of the Shannaro! Naruto manga scanslation team, which is affiliated in part with Narutoforums. Most of them are not involved in Narutoforum's leadership, and posing questions to them about the forum isn't a good idea. If you're looking for information about Shannaro! or want to inquire about joining the group, you can try asking one of them, or head over to the Shannaro! Forum.
Supporting staff members aren't very active on Narutoforums, and most provide services generally unrelated to the public forum. Asking anything of them probably won't net you an answer.
0.4 Flaming (water and fire extuinguishers currently in stock.)
Flaming in any way, shape, or form is absolutely not tolerated on Naruto Forums.[/b] If a NF poster flames you and/or another poster, immediately notify an available moderator and/or adminstrator. You can find a list of the moderators and administrators and the sections of NF they oversee in the link below.
http://forums.narutofan.com/showgroups.php?
Please do not retaliate and counter-flame, as flaming is still flaming. Otherwise, you may find yourself warned and/or banned.
0.5 Trolling (bridge sold separately.)
Do your best to positively contribute to the topic and the forums. Do [/i]not[/i] try to cause negative disruption to the topic, sub-forum, and/or Naruto Forums in any way, shape, or form. This includes inflammatory remarks, insults, and excessive spam. Failure to do so will result in a warning and/or ban.
If you see a poster excessively trolling, notify the moderators and/or administrators.
0.6 [B]Respect (what goes around, comes around.)
You are a poster at Naruto Forums, one of the 75,000+ members. Treat others as you like to be treated.
"What you do not wish upon yourself, extend not to others."

1. The Outskirts Battledome (where the hell am I?)
Q. 1.1 What is the Outskirts Battledome? (the obvious question, obviously!)
A. The Outskirts Battledome (a.k.a. the OB) is a sub-forum of NarutoForums where fictional and non-fictional characters and/or entities come 'to do battle'. To quote Blue, the creator of the Outskirts Battledome:
Any and all characters from any series, anime, movie, book, what have you, can be brought into play. If you're making a thread with Naruto characters only, you might as well put it in the regular battledome. Threads with mixed Naruto/non-Naruto characters go here.
Q. 1.2 Meta-Battledome? Comics Battledome? Manga/Anime Battledome? Joke Battledome? (I'm confused as hell. . .)
A. The Meta-Battledome is a sub-forum of the OB where issues regarding vs. threads or pertaining to the OB are discussed, not the actual battles.
For example, one may set-up a thread in the Meta-Battledome for
-discussing the effects of Genjutsu on non-Naruto characters who lack chakra systems
-the properties of ki in the Dragon Ball Z universe
-establishing character tiers for a fictional universe in order to inform newcomers and other posters
-conducting participant registration for an OB tourny
The Comic Battledome is a sub-forum of the OB where the characters and/or entities involved in the vs. threads all comes from comicdom.
Examples of Comic Battledome vs. threads involving characters from comicdom are Batman (DC Comics) vs. Captain America (Marvel Comics), John Constantine (VERTIGO) vs. Midnighter (Wildstorm), and Spawn (Image) vs. Hellboy (Dark Horse Comics)
The Anime/Manga Battledome is a sub-forums of the OB where the characters and/or entities involved in the vs. threads all comes from either anime, manga, or both.
Examples of Anime/Manga vs. threads involving characters from anime and/or manga are Sesshomaru (InuYasha) vs. Alucard (Hellsing), Omnimon (Digimon) vs. Mewtwo (Pokemon), and Heero piloting Wing Gundam Zero (New Mobile Report: Gundam Wing) vs. Rei Ayanami piloting Evangelion Unit 00 (Neon Genesis Evangelion)
The Joke Battledome is a sub-forum of the OB where one can create vs. threads out of sheer amusement and spam. To put it simply, the OB version of the (in)famous Konoha Blender.
Q. 1.3 What are the rules of the Outskirts Battledome? (sacred commandments?)
A. In addition to adhering to the rules of Naruto Forums, there is one rule, found here (http://forums.narutofan.com/showthread.php?t=27231).
