The SoX Philosophy
Welcome to the SoX Forum! This community was originally created as a discussion forum for “The X-Files” television series and movies, but in March 2012 it was decided by the majority of SoXers that the forum would expand to include discussion areas for other TV shows, movies, and celebrities.

The SoX Forum is one of the few fan forums online where members are free to express what they love and dislike about various fandoms without the fear of being flamed, ridiculed, or treated as an inferior. This forum is open to anyone who wants to join - and who follows the registration rules to do so. We are very open to any variety of possibilities on any TV show/movie, from relationship pairings to alternate ideas about where the stories should have gone. And we NEVER EVER want anyone here at SoX to not talk about what they enjoy and love most about any fandom.

The SoX Forum is one of the few (if not the only) X-Files forums online without a history of forum drama. Members here genuinely respect and care for everyone else on board, and that is the key to our success as a friendly forum. If you are tired of stressors of high-drama forums, and this sounds like the kind of environment you would like to be a part of, please join today!

The Most Important Rule of The Forum

Members of the Serenity of X Forum are an online family. Be kind, have fun, and enjoy yourself here. This is a safe haven where you are free to express your thoughts and opinions without fear of being attacked, flamed, stalked, bashed, etc. by fans who have different views than your own. We here at SoX do NOT tolerate such inappropriate behaviour.

The most important rule of the forum is respect and to treat everyone here as an equal.

Opinions are just that, opinions. No one’s opinion is right, and no one’s opinion is wrong. There’s no use in getting angry or vengeful about that. : )

About SoX Forum Newsletters
From time-to-time you may receive an e-mail message from the SoX Forum, these are our SoX Forum Newsletters. We only send out newsletters when changes have been made to the forum (ie: new discussion folders, forum rule updates), or if there is an important poll we need you to vote in regarding proposed changes to the forum. At least once a year you may receive a newsletter just updating you on current popular discussions or activities on the forum to try to entice the more quiet forum members to come out of the woodwork and to keep posting with us.

You do have the option in your profile to not receive our newsletters, but I do promise you that we do not send them out often. If there is an issue that we need all forum members to know about, we will e-mail you directly from our [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] account.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Keep Active, Remain A Member

The purpose of a discussion forum is to take part in topics of discussion. As a member of the SoX Forum we expect that you will add to discussions and get to know us. Lurking is not allowed for a long period of time. All members must be active. Any exception to this rule is determined by the forum administrators. You are more than welcome to ask for an exception and plea your case as comfortably as you want and we will consider. Just e-mail the administrators and they will get back to you: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

We reserve the right to delete memberships that are suspicious/questionable without warning. This can happen if 1) your username tends to post spam messages, 2) your IP address matches IP addresses of people who have caused us trouble in the past. Your IP addresses are visible to forum administrators only.

The following rules will be strictly enforced beginning on 10 March 2012 and will be applied to all current and new SoX Forum members:

Inactive – You have zero (0) posts / have never logged onto the forum after thirty (30) days of your username’s activation date. You will be deleted without warning.

Active, but not SoXer Blue – If you are an active member, but your username has not been made SoXer Blue, this means you are not in good standing with the forum and need to read the Forum Rules and REPLY to the rules thread (THIS THREAD!). Failure to do this simple task within one (1) week of receiving an e-mail reminder (with Forum Rules attached) from the administrators, will result in your username being made “inactive” (you won’t be able to log on or post to the forum). To fix this, respond to our email that you have read the rules and we will reactivate your account. At which time, you MUST reply to this thread to keep your membership so that ALL administrators and moderators will know you are in good standing.

I have 5 posts and haven’t been back in a month! I think I’m active! - WRONG! Joining our forum and posting only a handful (or two) of times, and then disappearing and not coming back for a month, a few months, over a year, or never does NOT mean that you are an active member. While we don’t expect you to log onto the forum and post every single day, we do expect all members, who are serious about being a part of this forum, to visit the forum at least once or twice a week and post a few times each visit. If you have not accumulated at least 150 posts in one year of your initial registration date, you will receive an e-mail reminding you to get back to participating on the forum, and asking if you would still like to be a member or not (please answer honestly, our feelings will not be hurt if the SoX Forum is not for you). If you do not return to the forum and participate in discussions (or reply back to our e-mail) your account will be deleted.

Lifetime Member Requirements – Once a member has reached one-thousand (1000) posts they are no longer being kept tabs on for our forum activity/participation rules. We believe that if you can accumulate that many posts, and keep coming back for more, that you like being a part of our forum.

** Administrators reserve the right to waive participation rules to members they have deemed qualified for the waiver. **

If you know that you will be out-of-town, or have other reasons why you will not be on the forum for an extended period of time, please e-mail the administrators to let them know so that they can give you a temporary waiver from the forum participation rules. Just let us know when we can expect you back: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

If your membership gets deleted due to inactivity (rank "Inactive" - zero posts) you can always register with us again if you have found you have the time to participate in forum discussions. If this is the case you MUST e-mail us the following information after you have submitted your registration information:

- Introduce yourself
- Tell us your previous username
- Tell how you found the SoX Forum
- Explain why you would like to be a member of the forum
- Confirm the username/email that you used to register with the forum

Please contact us through PM or e-mail if you have any questions about our Keep Active, Remain A Member policy. This is the strictest part of our rules, and these rules are put into effect to best protect our community from problematic types. Thank you for your understanding.

Advertising / Website Update Alerts Rules
Anyone who maintains a website, blog, Facebook page, Twitter account, etc. loves to try to advertise to gain new visitors or followers, and we here at SoX are completely fine with that. However we do ask that if you would like to advertise your website, blog, etc. (and its updates) here on this forum that you do so in the appropriate folder ( [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] – make one (1) single thread dedicated to your website, blog, etc. and post updates and activities that you are holding within that thread). Do not post advertisements or websites/blogs/etc. outside of that folder. If you do an administrator of moderator has the right to delete the thread without warning.

Please only make one (1) thread for each one of your websites/blogs, if multiple update alert threads are created for your site an administrator or moderator will delete the newer thread.

Advertising such as spam (ie: viagra, go back to school, freeware, etc.) is NEVER allowed anywhere on the SoX Forum. Any such threads will be deleted and the username who posted the content will be banned.

Thank you for understanding.

Images and Videos Rules

ABSOLUTELY NO PAPARAZZI PHOTOS OR VIDEOS ARE ALLOWED TO BE POSTED ANYWHERE ON THIS FORUM. SoX respects the privacy of celebrities and their children and will not tolerate the personal violation which is paparazzi photographs and videos. Paparazzi - (defined by Wikipedia) is an Italian term used to refer to photojournalists who specialize in candid photography of celebrities, politicians, and other prominent people. Paparazzi tend to be independent contractors, unaffiliated with a mainstream media organization.

SoX defines paparazzi as:

01) Any candid photograph or video shot of any celebrity in which the photographer benefits financially through the sale of the unauthorized photograph or video recording. The celebrity was not paid by the photographer or any media entity who publishes the photograph or video. The celebrity may or may not be aware that they are being photographed or video recorded.

02) Any unwelcome photography or video recording of a celebrity who is not at work. This includes, but is not limited to: grocery shopping, taking children to school, having lunch with friends/family, at the beach on holiday, mowing the lawn, taking a walk, leaving a gym or doctors office, at an airport, getting into our out of a car, at a club, etc.

03) Any photography or video recording of a celebrity "on location" filming a movie or TV series - in which it looks like extreme measures were taken to obtain said photo (ie: photos taken from the top of a tall building looking down on the celebrity, through a peep hole in a fence, and other "creepy" photography - you know, like sneaking a picture of the celebrity inside his/her changing room trailer).

If the photograph or video in question fits the above criteria, and is invading the private life of the celebrity while he or she is NOT working it is considered inappropriate for SoX. If it's a photograph or video you would see on TMZ, Inside Edition, Access Hollywood, etc. it is not appropriate for this forum.

SoX allows the following types of photography to be shared:

- photoshoots
- movie/TV stills
- screen captures from movies/TV
- personal photographs (you snapped the picture yourself) so long as you are not a paparazzo, and have not gained financially for your photograph
- red carpet events photography (celeb children allowed if accompanied with their celeb parent)
- celebs at sporting events (celeb children allowed if accompanied with their celeb parent)
- celebs at gala events (celeb children allowed if accompanied with their celeb parent)
- posed pictures of celebrities at conventions with fans
- "on location" or "on set" photographs of the celebrity "at work" - not deemed "creepy" photography by forum admins (if you aren't sure, just ask us, we'll be able to help)

Images of the children of celebrities is never allowed on this forum unless they are at a red carpet event with their parents.

SoX is a paparazzi free forum. Thank you for your cooperation.

Do not steal HQ (high quality) images posted to this forum and post them anywhere else without permission (simply ask if it’s all right to share the pictures elsewhere and wait for the poster of the images to respond).

If you would like to share images with members of the forum, we recommend that you save the image and upload it to your own server or free image host account (ie: Photobucket).

You are not required to give credit to anyone when posting a picture. Giving credit is your choice. If you'd like to say "hey I got this picture from Frank Spotnitz's site!" you can, if you prefer not to, that's not a problem either. There are so many images of the X-Files actors and from the show itself that it's nearly impossible to give credit to the owner. Also, the owner of any picture copyright is the photographer's. Most images distributed throughout the fandom are done so with disregard to copyright laws. Nearly all fans in any given fandom are not the original photographer so credit is not required to say that you got it from an individual in the fanbase.

You are not required to give credit to anyone when sharing a video from video sites such as YouTube. YouTube allows video embedding which is an invitation to share. Giving credit is your choice, not a requirement. If sharing a music video (fan video) we encourage you to give credit to the vidder, but if the vid is embedded from YouTube, it is up to the viewer to go out of their way to find out who created the video.

If you are a website owner and someone is sharing pictures posted on your website, they have the right to share images that have been made visible to the internet public. They are not required to say “images found at ‘website title’”. They can say where they found the image if they want, they are not required to. Do not harass members if this has happened, it is not against the Serenity of X Forum rules. Thank you for understanding.

If you are sharing a picture, please provide IMG or URL tagging to the actual image, do not force members to click on an external link to take them to a website that is hosting the image. If you do this, if found by an administrator or moderator, you may be asked to edit your post so that the image is showing. Thank you for understanding and cooperating.

Celebrity ownership is not allowed on this forum. Do not post or behave in a way in which you come off trying to look like you hold authority over information over any given celebrity. This includes (and is not limited to) pretending to be the only person in the world with "inside" information on a celebrity, claiming ownership over red carpet or photoshoot images, etc. If you have information, share it, don’t say you have it and then share nothing, that is not fun for members of the forum. If you have information and cannot share it yet, don’t say that you have the information, this can be perceived as bragging or “celebrity ownership”. Thank you for understanding.

Creatives Rules
(graphic artwork, manipulations, sketches, fan fiction, fan music videos)

We are very open here at SoX about the content of our members’ creativity. We do not discriminate against adult content (and all of our Creatives folders are visible to members only and cannot be seen by visitors or unregistered guests of the forum).

Please label in your subject heading of your topic that your content is for adults only (NSFW = not safe for work). In the case of fan fiction, please indicate that your story is “R” or “NC-17” rated. Here are a few examples of how you should appropriately title your creative threads:

Graphic Artwork
Collage – “Title of Artwork” (fandom, character or pairing) – NSFW (if applicable)
Collage – “Funny Love” (X-Files, Mulder/Kersh)

** “Collage” can be replaced with: Wallpaper, Manipulation (or Manip), Drawing (or Sketch), Icons (or Avatars), Banner. **

Fan Fiction
“Title” by Your Username (fandom, character or pairing, rating)
“When Computers Hook You Up” by Madelaine Zachinsky (24, Jack, Tony/Michelle, PG13)

Fan Music Videos
“Title” by Your Username (fandom, character or pairing) – NSFW (if applicable)
“Time After Time” by WhoDatYo (TBBT, Raj/Penny) – NSFW
“Junior Suite” by Little Albatross (X-Files, Mulder, Doggett/Scully)

· TBBT = The Big Bang Theory

Never, NEVER ever, never ever save someone’s creative piece of work, and repost it elsewhere as your own work. If you are caught doing this to any of our fellow SoXers your membership will be deleted and you will be banned permanently.

Snogger (David Duchovny/Gillian Anderson) manipulation artwork is not permitted on the SoX Forum. Furthermore, creating manipulations or collages using their children (from paparazzi pictures) is also not permitted in association with snogger artwork. Thank you for your understanding.

Celebrity Gossip Rules
It is always inappropriate to engage in gossip about the personal lives of celebrities. Please limit your discussions about celebrities to their careers.

You can discuss public interviews and articles and red carpet events, keeping within the guidelines of the rules.


Fandom Discussion Rules
(the x-files, television, movies, music, books, sports)

This is a forum where speaking your mind without the threat of being flamed/bashed/threatened/etc. is welcomed. That being said, speak your mind but be mindful of the feelings of others around you. Respect is key to a successful discussion forum family. Remember the rule... if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. If you are in disagreement with someone on the forum, please make sure to re-read your post before submitting to make sure that respect is apparent. Do not name-call, or take part in other immature personal attacks on another member and their personal opinion(s). It's completely all right to disagree with someone, and it is always appropriate to respect that not everyone here shares the same view point.

Please keep all pro-relationship discussions in their appropriate relationship folders or threads.

Do not troll in folders or threads if a relationship pairing is not to your liking. For example, if you are a hard-core fan of Mulder/Reyes, it is never ever acceptable for you to go into the Mulder/Krycek folder (or its threads) and speak negatively about the relationship or bash on it. The same applies to threads dedicated to any given relationship pairing.

If you wish to discuss the negative / anti-relationship aspect of any relationship, for “The X-Files” please take the discussion to the Noromo section, for other pairings of TV shows or movies, please create a thread whose subject heading makes clear that the discussion topic is anti-said relationship (ie: The Grissom/Sara Noromo Thread, or “The Anti-Raj/Howard Thread” – stay away from subject titles such as “I Hate Han/Leia!”, save that kind of comment for inside the discussion and tell us why you hate/dislike any given pairing.

If you start anti-relationship discussions you are expected to continue treating its fans with the utmost respect (there is to be no “Jeez, man! JD/Turk ‘shippers suck!” talk when the discussion is supposed to be about reasons why JD/Turk does not appeal to you. You must intelligently back up your anti-relationship comments, and engage others in mature discussion.

You can discuss the positive and negative aspects about fictional characters. Please be specific in your discussion post's subject title about whether the discussion is in praise or in detest of said character. As with negative comments about relationships, negative comments should never be expressed such as "Queequeg sucks!" and leave it at that. If you dislike any given character, please provide commentary about what makes you despise the character, back up your viewpoint with evidence from the series as to why you feel this way.

It is inappropriate for anyone to harshly bash on the physical appearance of any character, actor, animal, or extraterrestrial entity of the series It’s all right to say that you don’t find so-and-so attractive, but do not post something along the lines of “Eww! Ewie! Ew! He’s so ugly! His butt looks like a ceiling fan! How dare you think he’s sexy!” LOL I don’t think we need to explain why this kind of comment doesn’t mesh well with our forum rules at this point.

The SoX Forum will not tolerate "snogger" discussions. For those of you who do not know what that is, a "snogger" is a person who wants David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson in a romantic relationship. As a general rule of thumb, we do not find it appropriate to discuss the romantic relationships of any celebrity here on SoX. Additionally snogger themed manipulation artwork will also not be accepted (ie: snogger artwork involving either David or Gillian's children).

If you don't like a discussion topic, don't read it. If you feel the need to defend your opinion which may be discussed negatively in one thread, start a positive thread for the discussion, or a "Opinion 1 vs. Opinion 2" debate thread, that way if you want to argue (in a friendly and respectful manner) opinions you can do so without looking like a debate has hijacked the original topic of the thread in question.

If someone ignores this rule and posts to you in a thread where you'd rather not argue or debate, please politely ignore them, let a moderator know about it, and we will drop by and direct them to the rule above. If you would like to debate, please start a new thread for said debate to keep the topic in question on topic. Thank you.

”Fox & Rat” Virtual Series Section Rules

In the "Fox & Rat" Virtual Series section of the forum there is a sub-folder titled "Goofy Spooky". Goofy Spooky was the original FRVS Forum and it was based on interacting with the characters of FRVS. Since Serenity of X Forum is now the new official forum for discussion of FRVS, we have brought Goofy Spooky back. Feel free to drop in and chat with Mulder, Krycek and the rest of the FRVS gang. Understand that the characters you will chat with are not the same characters that you know from "The X-Files" series, they are the characterizations from "Fox & Rat" Virtual Series.

Please forgive FRVS Alex Krycek, the boy has got a potty mouth and a mad temper. The character is played by one of the SoX Forum admins and therefore is allowed to be a pain in the ass. Be aware that he loves to stir up trouble and cause petty fights among other FRVS characters (but rest assured that by the end of the chats, everything will be all fine and dandy).

Live interaction with the FRVS characters will take place every 4th Friday of every month at 8:00 – 10:00 p.m. CST. Log onto the forum and skip into Goofy Spooky to chat with Mulder, Krycek, Scully, Doggett, Reyes, Knowle and the rest of the gang!

** If we are not available to hold one of these monthly chats with the FRVS characters you will be told in advance, keep your eyes on the FRVS section for this information. **

The Common Sense Rules

Do not flame, bash, threaten, harass or stalk any members of this forum. If we suspect that you are here to do this, we reserve the right to immediately delete your membership and set a ban.

Do not copy/paste comments made by Serenity of X members to any other forum, mailing list, LiveJournal community and/or personal blog, private e-mail, etc. unless you are given permission to do so from the original poster.

Do not hack the forum, your IP will be reported to the proper authorities.

If you misbehave you will have three strikes and then your membership will be deleted. We hold the right to take away the three strike rule if your first offense is incredibly offensive and hurtful to all members of the SoX Forum.

Please post in a comprehensive way. Don’t type like a "rabid ‘shipper" (ie: OmG!!!!!!!! Muldr n’ Skulllie tutaly luv eachOthezr and R lik tutalllllllllllllllllly en luvvv!!!!!!!!!!!!), yeah, I don’t think I need to explain that one. And please do not type in ALL CAPS, internet shorthand, etc., thank you. We all went to school and learned how to type, this means that we are all capable of communicating like educated adults.

You are allowed and encouraged to have your own opinions and views on any of the topics on this forum. We want you to share your opinions with us without feeling scared of being flamed. Live and let live. If you can’t come to an understanding just accept that we are who we are, we believe what we believe, we think the way we think and there’s nothing that can be done about it. Love each other and be friendly to each other regardless of stance. Respect is the way of life on this forum.

It is quite common in threads for SoXers to stray off topic. We encourage trying your best to keep a topic "on topic", but OT is not frowned upon so long as eventually someone in the topic attempts to get things back on track. If you realize that you and others are going "off topic" over ten posts within a thread, please step up and start a new thread in the appropriate folder for continuing the discussion and let others know about it. Thank you.

At the end of the day the number one rule of the SoX Forum is to have fun. You may see that one of the forum administrators or moderators say that these forum rules are more guidelines, they are, but they are here if there should ever be any trouble. We’re not as sticklers as these forum rules make us sound.

As you get to know us here on the forum you will learn that we are very relaxed and lenient. If we're all able to get along and be silly together and serious when needed, and remember that we're here because we love hanging out together online and discussing the topics of this forum, but we stay because we're friends and an online family, then all will be happy in SoX Land.

After you have read these rules, please reply to this thread and say something like "read 'em!" just so we know that we are all on the same page. As soon as you post that you've read the rules, an administrator will add you to the SoXers group and your name will change from gray to blue.

Thank you for reading.

Slight changes were made to the Forum Rules today:


If your member ranking is still "Newbie" - under 50 posts - after 90 days (three months) you will be sent a reminder to come back and continue posting, if your post count is still under 50 six months after you register with us, your membership will be deleted.

In July 2010 the SoX Forum administrators decided to turn off regular forum registration. If you would like to join the SoX Forum you will not be required to apply for membership through the contact form on the SoX website contact page. Failure to include all information asked for will automatically reject your membership request. Please see the SoX contact page for more details: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

ABSOLUTELY NO PAPARAZZI PHOTOS ARE ALLOWED TO BE POSTED ANYWHERE ON THIS FORUM. SoX respects the privacy of celebrities and their children and will not tolerate the personal violation which is paparazzi photographs. Red carpet pictures are fine since the celebrities are at work when they are on the red carpet, but if they are lounging around a beach with their family and friends, out shopping, sitting on the metro, getting into their car, etc. are NEVER allowed.

Do not hotlink to images that are not on your own server or free image host account. That is bandwidth theft. Theft is illegal. Please upload images you would like to share to sites such as Photobucket.

You are not required to give credit to anyone when posting a picture. Giving credit is your choice. If you'd like to say "hey I got this picture from Frank Spotnitz's site!" you can, if you prefer not to, that's not a problem either.

[Ghet2DaChoppah]

I read them and understand! :)

[Dana Doggett]

Rules have been updated. If you've already read them, then there's really nothing new. I just reworded some things and added the bit about how to ensure your requested membership registration gets approved.

If your username is still showing in gray, please make sure to read the rules and reply so that you can be added to the SoXers group, making your name blue!

Thank you everyone who took the time to read the forum rules. You all rock!

[Ghet2DaChoppah]

YAY!!! BLUE NAME NOW!!!!

[Dana Doggett]

Woohoo! Blue!

[Devil Dog]

This purple color of my name does not fit the color of my avatar. Being that I approved of the color change on the forum, this should not bother me so much.

Now... I see there are members on here who have been here for a few months who still have not signed their name to the rules. I don't want to have to make you drop and give me 50 in order to entice you to read the rules and sign your name for me, do I?

If you're wondering, I changed my name from The SoX Master to Devil Dog, it's more fitting of my role here on the forum should anything go haywire.

Dismissed!

[jsabat28]

Read the rules and understand fully. :)
Thank you....

[Cindersmommy]

I read them again.

[Dana Doggett]

Rules modified. I added:

The SoX Forum will not tolerate "snogger" discussions. For those of you who do not know what that is, a "snogger" is a person who wants David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson in a romantic relationship.

If you would like to share images with members of the forum, we recommend that you save the image and upload it to your own server or free image host account (ie: Photobucket).


Remember: In order to get your name blue you have to read the rules and reply to this thread, this will make you a member in good standing

Sorry I didn't post, but I did skim it. . .

I like having a blackened name. I just thought it was because of my join date.

Slight changes were made to the Forum Rules today:
Do not hotlink to images that are not on your own server or free image host account. That is bandwidth theft. Theft is illegal. Please upload images you would like to share to sites such as Photobucket.

oops....I'm guilty of this

That rule has been amended because I'm guilty of that too (and lazy). This is the new rule regarding posting images:

If you would like to share images with members of the forum, we recommend that you save the image and upload it to your own server or free image host account (ie: Photobucket).
