    Hello! Welcome to the Matt Groening TV.com person guide. Before you start submitting to the guide or using the forum, please take a minute to read over a few basic ground rules.

    Submission Guidelines

    Feel free to submit trivia or quotes to the guide at anytime. I only ask these things:

    • You must provide a http source for all contributions. Place the link in the submission comment box.
    • Trivia or edits to the bio must be in your own words. Not copied and pasted.
    • Quotes must be in the proper format. All quotes must begin with "Groening" wrapped in bold tags, then a colon, and then the quote. If the quote pertains to a certain subject, place the subject in parenthesis and then wrap it in italics tags after the colon. Here is an example:

      Groening: (talking about The Simpsons Movie) People have been asking for full frontal nudity for years and finally we can give them what they want!

If you are insulted or threatened, do not respond to the user, simply report them for flaming. There will also be no spamming or trolling.
