Membership FAQ
We here at Kingdom Hearts Insider understand that not everyone may be accustomed with the laws of the land, or in this case, the general rules and conduct of the forum-going experience. This FAQ exists to enlighten everyone new and old to the community and to answer the questions that arouse on a typical need-to-know basis. And because these are things members of the general Kingdom Hearts community feel they need to know, this FAQ was born.
Kingdom Hearts Insider is run entirely by volunteers who aim to deliver a bright and friendly community where people can come together to participate in friendly discussion and activities revolving primarily around the Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy series in accordance with our sister site, Final Fantasy Network. In order to make the experience enjoyable for every single individual, we'd like everyone to understand that membership access to our forums is a privilege earned, not a right to have regardless of actions and consequences.
If a member by any chance goes forth to breaks the rules or do anything in the vein that the Administrators and Moderators may view as unfit for the community, we have the right to act in response, ranging from distributing infractions to denying an account completely. Once again for clarification, every single person has the right to participate in discussions here at Kingdom Hearts Insider. However, like it is in the real world as well, that right only remains so long as you follow the rules. By accommodating this small request, a person has the right to be a member at Kingdom Hearts Insider.
Who is registration open for?
Anyone and everyone from all corners of the globe is welcome to join!
I sure hope I don't have to pay to register.
Absolutely not! We would and will never ask anyone to pay for what we have to offer. It is a completely free experience.
Are there any neat benefits in registering at Kingdom Hearts Insider?

Please tell me if there are any terms and conditions I have to agree to upon registration!
Before you can register, you must agree to follow our Terms and Conditions, displayed when you make your account. You are also required to conditionally follow our forum rules in order to be fair to the rest of the community and make the forum-going experience enjoyable for all members. We urge you to please read everything over prior to registration!
So, say I were to violate a few rules...
Please say it isn't so! Should a member fail to follow the Terms and Conditions they agreed to upon registering their account here at Kingdom Hearts Insider, we hold every right to act accordingly in response. Depending on the level of the violation, we may distribute warnings and infractions, up to banning the member from accessing the forums for a certain period of time. In rare cases, we may resort to permanently banning a member's account or even their IP address from our site/server. Thankfully, this does not need to happen often.
What about my own personal information? You won't share that without anyone, will you?
Certainly not. Any and all personal information you give us upon registering serves merely for basic statistical purposes, and will not be shared with any third party under any circumstances. Unless a member brings attention to himself or herself that we feel would be necessary to look into that data, we will not touch it. That occasion is fairly rare. You can read more information about this here in our Privacy Policies.
Why can't I start posting in the forums right after I register?
For safety purposes, an email confirmation must be made in order to confirm that it really exists before you may begin posting. The second you press that [Register] button, an email is sent to the address you used to register with, providing a link you have to follow to confirm and thereby activate your account. If the possibility that you failed to receive the confirmation email, simply send an email to us at kingdomheartsinsider at gmail.com, and send us your username so that we may activate the account for you manually.
