Okay I would like to start off by apologizing to everyone on the site for the lack of moderator crack down on things that shall be discussed here. I admit I am not the best moderator but I suppose I should put feelings aside now because I have to admit some of these things have been bothering me too. I happen to love role playing and I also happen to want this to remain as literate as possible. If you have a problem with what is being said here then I beseech you to leave the site. Sure we'll have a few less members but it is urgent that you read this and make sure you understand what you read okay?(The names of individuals will not be used here however if I see that people are harassing those that they believe this to be targeted at or you believe you are being harassed because of this then please contact me through pm) Here we go:
1.)No offense everyone but come on I know that you are all capable of posting a solid paragraph in response maybe even two. I mean didn't some of you read the rules? Mirror posting...ever heard of it? If not I shall tell you what it means right now. Mirror posting is when you type a response that is equal in length, longer, or a tiny bit shorter than what the person before you has posted. Now I understand if the person before you posted like six long paragraphs and you can't possibly think of a way to extend your post that long. But come on I see people here responding in one or sentences that are sometimes not even coherent or make sense. You can't just go posting around wherever you want it has to make sense. For example Order members can't just go and post in the Organization's Castle that just doesn't make any logical sense. Ditto for the Organization people. If you want to join a thread find a way to enter yourself into it the proper way don't just say " So and so walked into the room and said Hi? What's up?" We want descriptions of how you got there. Maybe you teleported maybe you flew maybe you rode your neighbors dog. Do you catch my drift? So I except you all to post at least two paragraphs if not more for a starting post and then after that you try your very best to mirror post got it?
2.) Okay so this site was nice enough to include a spell check button down at the bottom. You see it? Great! You should try to use it okay? It is not a bad thing to click the button and search the post for mistakes it actually makes it easier for people to read your post and make a response. Another thing for speech we all know to use quotes right? What about for thoughts? Well for thoughts I am pretty sure that everyone can agree that italics are used like this Wow I can't believe that I'm typing this. Oh and to make it easier to know when someone is talking and when someone is narrating we use color Like this see it isn't hard If you don't know how to do that then please pm me and I shall explain it to you.
3.) Profiles, no offense but if you look at some of them they are very long correct? I mean we aren't asking you to type out the life history of the person. You don't need to tell us the history in chronological order starting from year one. We just want more than a tiny bit of text to tell us what has happened in the past of the character. It would be nice to have descriptions of the person too but you know if you can't do that then a picture will suffice as well, but you should at least give it a try okay? So I will be going through the profiles and if I think you need to work on it I shall be pming you and asking you nicely to please work on it more. If you refuse then well we might have a problem there.
Uhh I think that is everything. If you feel the need to add something or you feel that something was not mentioned here please pm me I am always open to suggestions. Any way if you think this applies to you please correct these things right away it makes my job a bit easier. I am very sorry once more if you are offended by anything said but these things need to be said and I need to crack down on things here. This is a literate site and it is not showing the glory it once had so I am going to try my best to be a good moderator even though it may seem like I'm just a jerk.
Thanks for listening and reading happy posting,
