Blogging Rules (Read before posting!)

Recommended Posts

Welcome everybody to our latest addition: Blogs! Members can now create a thread in this subforum to blog their little hearts out. Some members have requested this in the past (and some current staff too) so we thought, "why not give it a shot?" Be sure to read the rules below before getting started, and don't forget: Have Fun! :)

 

 

1- All blogs must adhere to the forum rules. Any blog that violates these rules may be removed and the member responsible may receive infractions. READ THE RULES!!!

 

2- A member may have one thread in this subforum. Try to use either your forum name or username in the title, but please try not to go overboard with your blog title. A simple, tasteful title is fine, but the staff may edit your title if it is too long or violates the site's rules.

 

3- Please do not create a new thread each time you "blog", simply post in your current thread. Members can subscribe to the thread and receive notifications when there's a new post. Try not to post a new blog every 5 minutes. This isn't updates for Twitter or Facebook.

 

How to subscribe:

 

Once you're in the thread you wish to subscribe to, go to "Thread Tools" and select "Subscribe to this thread". It will ask you for the "Notification Type" that you'd like to have (such as emails for new posts) and then simply choose "Add Subscription." You can then directly access this thread and see new posts from your "User CP" as well.

 

4- Commenting on blogs. If you'd like to discuss a writer's blog, then feel free to post in their thread. We encourage healthy conversation. However, if those conversations violate the forum rules, we will deal with it accordingly. Furthermore, this isn't a competition to get "views or readers or subscribers or whatever". If we see a member posting in blogs, or anywhere on the forums, trying to recruit people to read and comment on their blog, their posts and their blog may be removed. If someone wishes to read it, they will. Don't pester people about it. If you'd like to link your blog to your Sig, feel free. Just make sure your Sig is under the size restriction. ;)

 

Pro-Tip from one of our own Bloggers:

 

Bloggers should use the first post as a table of contents and provide links to the posts containing actual blog entries. That should help people skip past the "comments".

 

 

Questions, comments, concerns, please let us know by posting in this thread.
