[mod] about pics
I just thought I'd let everyone know that I added a new rule to the comm last night. It isn't a big one, it's just concerning pictures of your character that you might post on your character's journal. Most of us are already aware of this, but since we've got a few newer members, I thought I should just go over it for everyone's benefit.
Basically, try to be clever with the pictures you post. Don't post things that are obviously scans of professional, magazine type shoots. Try to post pictures that are more candid, more natural, or ones that could believably be by the character, or by a friend/family member/other nonprofessional onlooker.
If your character is/was a professional model (like Tila), then posting professional things is quite fine, because that's believable. But if your character has no experience in such a thing, then the only other times it could be believable is if it was "I have a friend studying photography, and I modelled for them" or "I went to get a professional photograph done for my parents back home", etc.
Or for example, performance pics. Characters such as TOP can post performance pictures as they are a performer within the game. Everyone else should try to keep it to a minimum, with believable reasonings when they do use it (like, at a karaoke bar, that's fine) ^_^
Besides, it's just way more fun to post more natural looking pics!
If anyone wants actual examples, or wants to check if a pic is okay, then just ask ^_^ And most people have been doing this quite fine anyway, I just wanted to clarify it for the benefit of everyone, and so that no-one can say I didn't mention it XD;
