CASTLE ETIQUETTE & PROTOCOLS

Etiquette: a code of behavior based on honesty, respect and consideration. - Emily Post

• Castle's Old Haunt is a discussion site about the show. We respect the people who are working to create it. As such this site does not allow any unoffical photos (paparazzi) on this site. So if it's not a photo shoot or official photos from an event or set, or not tweeted by the person in the photo, then don't post it. Period.
  
  The protocal for violating the paparazzi photo rule is that they will immediately be removed. The poster will receive a first time warning. A second occurance is a seven day suspension; the third time is a permanent ban.
  
  
• Gossip Articles: If the person in question isn't discussing a personal relationship, it's spectulation and don't post the article. Unless an actress announces she's pregnant - she's not. Articles "wondering" about body changes, weight gains, etc - just skip it.
  
  The protocal on gossip articles is stricter, because it's just more obvious, and more hurtful. The article is immediately pulled and the poster is warned. If it happens again, the poster will be banned.
  
  
• In discussions and debate, passions can run high. Please focus on the topic and not the poster. Mean what you say, say what you mean, but don't say it mean.
  
  
  
  

Thank you for the preliminary etiquette. I am new to this so if I make a mistake, please inform me. Thanks. I am a die-hard fan of Castle and particularly of Stana. I follow everything I can find that they do or say. I would never criticize the show in any way. I have opinions but I don't like to second guess so try to keep a rein on this aspect.
