 Rhea SilverkeysTopic: RULES! READ THEM OR INCUR RHEA'S WRATH!Sorry for that - but it got you to look inside the topic, right? The rules of the forum are listed below, and they must be followed. Please note I did not include the general rules listed by ff.net, but they obviously still apply (you can find those rules at the bottom of the forum). If you have any questions, just PM me. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - RULES - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1. Anyone can post a new topic. Please feel free to do so. However please note that we already have pinned topics addressing some common questions and issues. If you create a topic asking about posting stories, editing stories, uploading stories, requesting categories and why you don't have reviews - they will be locked. 2. Please watch your language. No rudeness, people bashing, etc. Please be civil. 3. Before posting, topic titles have to be categorised. Before the title of your topic, state what category it's in. Topics that are not categorised will be locked. The categories so far are: --> Writing - questions about plot, writing styles --> Critique - post extracts of your story/fanfiction and we'll critique and give opinions etc. Only extracts are allowed to be posted here. If you post a link to your story or the entire chapter, or ask for general constructive criticism without posting an extract, we will lock your topic. If you would like general constructive criticism you may request it at the 'Request for Constructive Criticism, 'Why don't I have reviews??!!' Thread + List of Writing Sites' pinned topic. Only in that topic may you post links to your story for the general concrit. --> Research - if you're looking for info from your fandom or real life things --> Beta - if you're looking for a beta reader or offering your own services --> Rec - stands for recommendations. Recommend your favourite stories and favourite authors under the existing topics. (Please see post#3 for list + links) --> Self-plug - to promote your stories or sites. Story, C2 and forum plugs have their own existing topics already. (Please see post#3 for list + links) --> General - for anything else that doesn't fit into the other categories --> Game - strictly for writing games or challenges, that will help keep you from getting rusty and to exercise creativity. All new suggestions of games should be run by me first. --> Poll - only to be used my mods of the forum. If you have a poll you'd like posted on the forum, let one of the mods know and if it's suitable, we'll post it up here. Other categories will be added in the future as needed. Story and author plugs/recs are NOT to be posted as separate topics (they will be deleted without warning) and should be posted in the ones that already exist. 4. Double-posting (posting twice in a row without another user's post separating the two or editing the previous post) is not allowed within a day of your original post. Edit your post if you want to add something. To edit a post, click on the double arrows next to the 'reply' button. A list of other options will appear, one of them 'edit'. Well, that's it! I hope you enjoy it here! I don't think the rules are hard to follow, once you've read them (there are only 4) ^_^ So get posting, people! [Full list of rec and self-plug topics are located on post #3] [Full list of mods and their roles in the forum (or beyond) are located on post #4]

| AbCarterOver the last few days we had an interesting discussion about spam on forums brought on by the question: how do you stop someone from spamming you on other people's forums? The answer to that question is: you report them to the forum moderators. Those are the people listed as moderators at the bottom of the thread. The moderators will then act accordingly. I thought it would also be helpful to list what is considered spam on this forum. Spam are inappropriate posts, including: * Posts that bare no relevance to the topic of discussion, such as "hi, how is everyone?" posts. This is a forum for discussing anything related to reading and writing (fan)fiction. It is not a chatroom. * Posts in which the poster is harassing or insulting another member of the forum. Note: it is not harassment if you are having a discussion with someone and they are disagreeing with you. Things can get a little heated in debates, but that can usually be sorted out by asking both debaters to "cool down". * Public pillory or naming and shaming posts. If someone did something to you (flaming for instance) you can talk about it here in general terms to get it off your chest or to get advice on how to handle it. Don't mention names. The accused party has the right to defend themselves, which they can't if they're not a visitor of this forum as well. That would make it look like we were talking behind their back. Besides, wouldn't you feel stupid if you found out you had falsely accused someone? Double posts are also a form of spam. Accidental double posts happen when FFnet or your browser don't seem to respond properly. One of those posts is deleted and no mention of it is made. On other occasions you may want to add something to your own post. To do that click the double arrows next to the reply-link of your post and click edit to edit your post. In case you want to reply to multiple previous posts and quote segments of it in your own post, but your browser has the nasty habbit of refreshing the page if you go back and forth in the same window (so the text you typed gets lost) right click on the reply link and select "open in a new window". This will allow you to go back and forth between the thread and your reply without loosing information. How we deal with spam: - we can edit the posts, or if there really isn't anything to the post we can delete it. - Multiple offenders who just won't stop not even when asked nicely, can be blocked from posting by the administrator. How can you prevent spam on the forum? By not doing any of the above. That includes replying to a nonsense-post with the words "that was nonsense" as it would leave us with two nonsense posts in a row. Also, don't share your account with someone else. If you are sharing a computer log off of FFnet before you leave the computer (click log in at the top of the screen and then log out a little lower). You don't know what others will do with your account when you're not supervising their use. To block someone from your own forums log in and click the "block" link. Fill in the userid of the person (their userid can be found on their profile page) and click enter. This person will no longer be able to review you, PM you, or post on your forum.

| Rhea SilverkeysEdit 10 Oct: I edited the definition of what is allowed in the 'Critique' category: Critique - post extracts of your story/fanfiction and we'll critique and give opinions etc. Only extracts are allowed to be posted here. If you post a link to your story or the entire chapter, or ask for general constructive criticism without posting an extract, we will lock your topic. If you would like general constructive criticism you may request it at the 'Request for Constructive Criticism, 'Why don't I have reviews??!!' Thread + List of Writing Sites' pinned topic. Only in that topic may you post links to your story for the general concrit. This will be effective immediately. I won't lock the topics we have now, but all future ones will be.
