  • This includes links to illegal postings on other sites/blogs such as movie sides, scripts, outtakes, book drafts, etc. 
  • When posting legal spoilers please indicate “Spoilers!” in the topic line to prevent ruining it for others who don’t want to be spoiled.

21. No membership-only clubs, groups, or sororities may not conduct themselves on TwilightMOMS.

Individual groups, aside from demographic get togethers need to take their business off site.

Note: We understand the natural tendency to group together and for that group to become identified by a title or nickname. We have no problem with groups developing out of TwilightMOMS. We just ask that when the group develops, it find a place they can call their own only because of the incredible amount of work it takes to maintain a large group of people already. Taking responsibility for lots of other sub groups just adds to the workload. The owner of TwilightMOMS is just an average person, but as the owner she is ultimately responsible for all content on the forums. 


22. No Advertising in links in your signature or avatar.

Advertising has a potential to get out of control and just turn into a mess of spam on a forum of our size.

  • Advertisements/ad links will be deleted. This includes any and all links to outside exclusive membership-only groups or sororities and links to fanfics. 
  • ONLY Twilight and Host themed products are allowed to be advertised in a post in the Vampire and Alien Apparel & Decor forum – Nowhere else!
  • Vendors are allowed to have ONE (1) thread in the Vampire and Alien Apparel & Decor forum to advertise their products.
