Hello and welcome to the Message Board of Chuck Dixon. Hopefully
fun, entertaining, and informative, we understand that at times,
it could become volatile, controversial, and full of debates.
For these instances, the board requires a few rules and guidelines
to keep things running smoothly and happily for all concerned.
Above all, enjoy, discuss and even disagree, but, keep in mind
your manners.

1. Choose whatever name you wish
but under NO circumstances will you intentionally impersonate
another poster.
2. Keep profanity off the Message
Board. This is an all ages message board.
3. There are a wide variety of
topics allowed on this Message Board. You're welcome to kick
off your shoes, relax, and post topics related to comics and
the conversations that spawn out of the stories and art. The
Message Board is currently undefined as to the amount of topics
to be discussed so we can be pretty open ended and laid back.
Most comic book related topics are open for discussion but preferably
keeping on track with the books that Chuck Dixon has written.
- Addendum "Elian Rule" : We understand that the events of the
Elian Gonzalez case are centered around strong debate with many
points of view. It impacts many people on several different levels
whether political, social, religious, civil, national, and/or
personal. The debate has made it's way onto the Dixonverse Message
Board with heated passion. While we haven't minded the discussion,
it is now beginning to snowball down a mountain growing larger
and larger beyond Six Degrees of Discussion around Dixonverse.
We would please ask that if you wish to continue discussing this
divided debate, that you would please take it to another forum
that can handle the volume of posts dedicated to the Elian Gonzalez
case. Here are three forums we have found that you might want
to take your discussion to instead regarding this case (but there
might be others you can find doing a web search):
We appreciate your compliance
with this difficult decision to ask this to be removed off topic
and taken to a more suited forum.

4. Please keep character assassination
of other freelancers, writers, artists, creators, etc. or bitter
commentary on the unfairness of the comics biz off the message
board. You can get that around the corner.
5. Blatantly insulting behavior
is prohibited. Please keep all discussions civil, please. If
you disagree with someone, and want to post your disagreement,
please use a comparable phrases like "I think your thought
is silly" and not "You are silly"
in explaining your disagreement. Please be courteous to others.
6. Sentiments of "hate"
will not be tolerated.
7. You can use the Message Board
as a forum to ask questions of Chuck Dixon.
8. No pyramid or money making
schemes/scams will be allowed.
9. Remember the Golden Rule.
10. If there is a technical problem
with the Message Board or a website related question, please
