Welcome to the Save Our Voice Actors forum!
For those who don't know what SOVA is, I recommend you visit the website. This site may also be useful to you however it isn't being updated at this time but it's still a valuable resource.
One ground rule, which hopefully should be self-explanatory:
People who support the SOVA campaign, even if only a little, are welcomed and encouraged to join in the discussion. People who only have doubts and criticism for the campaign are not welcome. If you have an argument that isn't responded to sufficiently by the rebuttal, then please feel free to bring it up - in a PM, or on another thread.
With that said...
Since we already have ways for people involved to help early on, our top goal right now should be to spread the word as far and wide as we can. The more people we have involved in the SOVA campaign, the higher the chances of success. When there's lots of support and lots of people spreading the word, then we can all move on to expanding the ways in which the people involved can take action to let 4Kids know they are against the chance in voice actors.
So - we have plenty of banners with people still making more, I'm working on a flyer to be handed out at conventions and anime clubs and the like, I'm seeking potential supporters and e-mailing them - what else should we do? Any big sites we could tell about this which would tell a lot of people about what we're doing?
A couple other things to that need to be addressed.
1.
Attacking other members2.
Being Offtopic in threads3. Banning: You'll always be warned via PM about any inappropriate behavior before you're banned. Depending on the situation you may only get one warning but unless you're a troll or spy you'll be banned immediately. Other than that you'll
ALWAYS be warned first.
4. No spamming! This is posting stupid or pointless messages in threads.
5. Absolutely no fighting in threads! Effective as of now anyone fighting in threads if they have two or more posts and they contain severe fighting will result in an instant ban between the two members if applicable. Is this the same as debating? Certainly not! Debates are fine as long as they don't get out of hand aka fighting! Just don't fight, if you see someone fighting, just leave it be, don't get involved! Everyone makes mistakes. If you've made a mistake, PM one of the staff members at once, tell them you're sorry and that you won't do it again and we may let you off in a warning. We're not heartless people but we need to show ourselves in a good way!
6. Swearing is perfectly legitimate as long as it's done in moderation. Things like hell or damn are acceptable as long as it's not every other word used in your post. The F word is not acceptable unless you censor almost the entire word with asterisks. If seen repeatedly you'll get warned. We understand that you might have your bad days where you need to let your anger out but don't forget that we have a younger audience here too.
