Welcome to The Forensic Platform! A Bones forum for the fandom community.
Before you get started posting, please take a moment to read through our community rules.
1. Be respectful. You may find a lot of varying opinions on the boards. Many opinions you might not personally agree with. While discussing the show, please remember to stay considerate of other fans and their ideas. Belittling or antagonizing another poster will not be tolerated and will result in a warning from a moderator. You don't have to agree, but you do have to be respectful.
2. Offensive Content. You are allowed to curse on the boards but keep in mind that racist, homophobic, or overtly sexual language will not be allowed.
3. No gossip. Please avoid posting any sensitive information that may pertain to the cast and crew of Bones, as well as your fellow members.
4. Off site violations. If you are caught violate any of the above rules on another web platform, you will still receive a warning.
5. Avoid spamming. Please try not to double post. If you have something to add, please go back and edit your post.
6. Try to stay on topic. Sometimes threads get derailed, and that's okay. Please do your best to keep threads on topic.
7. Be careful of spoilers. Avoid posting any upcoming season or episode spoilers in threads related to past episodes. For instance, please do not post about an upcoming season 10 episode in a thread discussing an episode from season nine. Not all users are spoiler friendly, so try to keep that in mind. If you do not want to read spoilers, do not go into threads discussing upcoming episodes. Any unintended spoiler you see will be your own fault.
8. No bashing other boards or other fans. (5/19) Many of you may have tried other boards in the past (or still post on various one), and that's cool. However, no matter your experience, please don't bring it on to these boards. There's no need for it.
