I'm in!!

[Gravenimage]

I'm in I don't like to bash anyway.

[Serenity Namikaze]

I certainly approve this and will gladly follow that rule. Of course, I always do my best to make sure that my comment doesn't bash but I'll be even more careful so that we all can enjoy ourselves without useless bashing

[dokueki(venom)]

Well I'm never a basher. So you have worry about me. So I also agree.

[Cupcake-chan]

Sure, I'm in!

Smiter approved and topic pinned.

For the past weeks/months, the chapter and debate threads have been a cause for concern amongst the admins and mods.

We all appreciate that most of you are here because of your love for NaruSaku, but please remember that you don't need to bash other fandoms in order to show your love/like for NaruSaku! Remember that other pairing fandoms are just like ours; they chose their pairings because they like the idea of them together.

We don't like it when NaruSaku gets bashed, so why should we be OK with bashing other pairings? Think how you would feel if that bashing was directed towards you.

So I challenge you all to show an example! Enjoy and debate NaruSaku, and treat fans of other pairings with respect. That was how H&E was in the beginning, and I would like to see it that way again.

If we all make it through this month without any bashing, the atmosphere here will improve immeasurably. Then we can all try to keep up the standards, one month at a time!

Let's make H&E a place where NaruSakus and non-NaruSakus can feel equally welcome, and where we can have healthy debates!

I'm 12 years old, and I LOVE THIS! (4chan reference)
And while I don't really bash pairings, there are some that need to be bashed: i.e. Kono/Sasu! Not saying that this specific pairing is a ongoing problem, because it's not, but if a troll pairing isentioned I think it deserves to be unloaded upon.

No bashing AT ALL. No matter what pairing it is.

And you're 12? Sorry, but you're underage. The forum registration rules explicitly state that you must be 13 or over to post here. So you'll be banned until you're old enough to return.

He's joking Smiter.

And I think he meant the phrase "I'm 12 years old and what is this?" an internet meme.

Say who's name LOL

I'm in I don't like to bash anyway.

I don't bash couples I don't like either.

Can't make promise for the reverse but I won't.

[Derock]

It would be better if this idea was concepted around the beginning of Lent season (around the last Wednesday of February for those whom aren't Christian). That way,it can give me and some other people a reason to give up something for 40 days (besides the fact I have to not eat meat on Fridays and certain religious days).

But can we do something more exciting with the idea?

Know your meme

[Froot]

Don't you think that it'd be best to stop bashing period instead of having a deadline? It makes more sense to me.

Since everyone else is doing it, I'll do it, too. I wanna be one of the cooooool kids.

[KungFuTruffle]

While I think it'd be better to say "I will not bash at all", I'll still throw my support behind this. The talk has been getting pretty terrible the past few weeks. I just want to discuss the current chapter, but the discussion will inevitably turn toward how one pairing is better than another. Which makes no sense for many chapters, as there isn't any relationship material to talk about.

[James S Cassidy]

Quick question.

Some comments that are said are somewhat borderline bashing, but not quite bashing. Some other lines that have been said are not so much bashing, but facts. Not meant to really bash, but are facts stated to make a point.

Ex. "Some NaruHina fans like to make up information to gain leverage on their pairing."

Does this count as "bashing?" Some say it does and others say it doesn't.

I am all for this, but I want to know where the line is drawn as some gray areas have been shown.

[Vyse]

I'd say it's better to not really comment about what the other parts of the Naruto pairing fandom does or doesn't, and just let it be. As it is with politics, it all depends on the point of view. A fan of another pairing might say we're the ones making up stuff, so just remember that the only one who knows hasn't finished drawing his story yet, and we won't know until he does.

What we count as bashing might be different from mod to mod, so if one mod decides you're good, another might serve you an official warning which takes you one more step towards a ban. Is it really worth taking the chance? You can all get into great conversations without going into what's in the heads of the fans of other pairings, so just stay with how awesome NaruSaku is and why YOU think it's the best choice.
