Basic Rules and Guidelines
Be Respectful. No compromises. No exceptions. It's the number one rule at DASB. Discussions often lead to heated debates. A disagreement of opinions is not an excuse to attack a person’s character / intelligence / life. Be respectful, courteous and levelheaded. Don’t make posts just for the sake of being rude. And absolutely NO derogatory remarks when it comes to race or sexual orientation, either directed at another poster or character.
No Bashing. This goes along with “Be Respectful”. This means:No bashing people.(This includes any single person and or group/race of people)This includes PMs that bother people.
Use EDIT instead of double posting.
Report, don't Respond. That means report posts that are causing problems in threads, especially inflammatory or aggressive posts are are intended to cause problems. This also means that you don't reply to the posters that are trying to cause problems. Use the Report button and let the staff handle the problem, it's what we're here for.
No Spamming. Spam is any post that doesn't contribute to the discussion.
No Fighting. Don’t fight with other members, and definitely don’t start fights with the staff. Seriously, it’s not worth it and no one will end up happy, least of all you. Any problems you have can be solved with calm and polite conversation. If you have a question or wish to bring up a topic with the staff that you don’t wish other posters to see, send us a Private Message.
No Flaming/Flame Baiting. Flaming is attacking someone. Very simple, if you're respectful and don't get into fights, you won't need to worry about it. Flame Baiting is making statements that try to get them to respond back at you with derogatory statements, also known as trolling.
Be Considerate. I think this is pretty self explanatory.

Just Common Courtesy
Remember to make your posts thoughtful and always try to invite good discussion, and have respect for other people's opinions. If we feel that you are deliberately looking to start trouble or to annoy people, don't expect either your thread or posts to last very long.
Remember to argue the topic, not the person. As long as your post is related to the topic of the thread, it won't be considered spamming or off-topic. If a thread is already starting to veer off-topic, please don’t contribute to the problem.
Don't Double Post (posting twice in a row in a short period of time). You have an edit button, use it to alter your posts instead of making another post altogether. In some situations, it's acceptable- if the two posts are spaced out in time and topic. Try to avoid it, however.
Look to see if a thread about your interest already exists.

Have fun.
