| Play Nicely With Others |
- Respect your peers and their work — Treat others and their contributions with respect and foster considerate dialogue. If you like an icon or some fan art that was created by someone other than yourself and choose to add it to your profile, PLEASE credit the author and add a link to their profile page. Stealing someone else's art is a violation of copyright laws.
- Do not use offensive language — Inappropriate, crude, or abusive language is not only unacceptable, it’s a lousy way to convince anyone of your point. Any posts that contain such language will be deleted.
- Remember, there is not such thing as a stupid question — Everyone’s input is welcomed and honored. “Flaming” others or demeaning their participation may build your self-esteem but it won’t help build community.
- Report inappropriate behavior — Remove and/or report to the moderators disrespectful or provocative content, but refrain from seeking vigilante justice.
- Posting in upper case - In Internet terms, posting in all uppercase is a sign of yelling. Please respect your peers and do not post in uppercase.
- This is NOT "The Dating Game." Fans of NCIS: Los Angeles come here to chat with other NCIS: Los Angeles fans about the show. They do not come here to be hit on, etc. Please be respectful of this Fan Site. It's to chat about NCIS: Los Angeles, add content, pictures, etc. This isn't Match.com.....
- Respect the cast of NCIS: Los Angeles - Do not post any photographs that are clearly an invasion of privacy. The cast have a right to respect and privacy, just as each of us does.

| Sharing of Information: |
| It is the year 2009 - any and all information is accessible over the Internet. Please do not share email addresses, phone numbers, home addresses, etc. in threads. Get to know someone well before you share this information with them - privately. If you do share any private information, do it over PM (Private Message) not in a thread for all to see. If someone contacts you via PM and asks you for personal information and you're uncomfortable, please notify one of the moderators immediately. This is a community for all, use the Moderators as a resource to assist you. DON'T share information if you are uncomfortable about doing so. Take a moment to read this article put together by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children about "Internet-Related Safety Tips for Teens." |

| Adding Photos: |
- All photos added must be NCIS: Los Angeles related and have a title to them. If you do not add a title, they will be deleted from the photo gallery. Moderators work hard to keep the photo gallery updated and maintained. There are far too many photos added that do not have titles to them. PLEASE add a title to any photos you upload. Make sure they are no duplicates of photo already in the photo gallery. This just creates far more work than necessary.
- If you don't want to add a photo to the photo gallery, when you are in the process of uploading a new photo, make sure to deselect the box to upload photos to gallery.
- Questions? Do not hesitate to ask one of the above listed Moderators.
