Rules & Regulations

1. All fancy HTML and large graphics (anything bigger than 500px wide by 300px tall) must be behind an LJ-cut. We've had several situations where people's fancy tables had problems with their coding and were breaking people's friends pages. Also on that note, lots of images slow down page loading times, so be considerate. If you don't know how to do an lj-cut, read HERE.



2. Long posts should have an LJ-cut, too. Rule of thumb: If you have to scroll to read your whole post, most of it belongs behind an LJ-cut. Not everyone uses the same screen resolution!



3. You can only post a promo once a week (7 days). This applies both to the personal account you use to make the promotion, and to the asylum(s) you promote. We encourage you to list all asylums you'd like to promote in one post. Once you post, that is it for the week and for the asylum(s) you have promoted. If you flood the moderation queue before your 7 day period is up, it can result in you being banned from this asylum.



4. In order to post in asylum_promo, you must link to an asylum. If your post doesn’t actually explain which asylum you’re promoting, and direct people to it, we will reject it and ask for that link to be added. Nobody should have to do detective work to figure out what asylum you’re talking about, and if you don’t have an asylum, well… it doesn’t belong here!



5. Do NOT turn off, freeze, or delete comments. We expect people to be courteous to each other here. Absolutely no flaming is tolerated. If you have a problem with someone, please contact one of the mods here and we will resolve the situation how we see fit. Failure to comply to these rules and we will simply delete the post and you can either resubmit it with comments enabled, or advertise elsewhere.



6. Again, as a corollary, no flaming. Constructive criticism and polite dissent is one thing, but personal attacks may cost you your ability to post and participate in this asylum.



7. Treat your fellow asylum members with courtesy. We're not going to judge anyone's asylum as more important, more interesting, or more worthwhile than anyone else's; IJ is a very eclectic community and everybody deserves a voice. It can be annoying when an influx of new members means there are a whole bunch of ads for things of no interest to you, but that will pass, and the next influx could bring things you love. We want to keep things welcoming for everybody, because squeaky has made us all a wonderful home here.
