Wednesday is Maintenance Day!
Hey guys, just a few maintenance dealies today.
First, I updated the FAQ with the things I removed from the holds page, which was getting a little crowded. These new elements have been added to the FAQ:
Can I play an animal?
If the animal can talk to humans in its canon, then yes you can. For example, Dug from UP! is acceptable with his collar. Bambi is not. Real animals must be used for a PB in this case.
Can I use a comic/cartoon/drawn/anime PB?
Only for network posts. All characters must be represented by a real 3-D person/animal for threading purposes.
What's visible in the network?
The character's log-in (journal name) and icons are both visible in the network, just like they are on the journal site. So yes, you can use non-PB icons for network posts only.
Second, headers! While I definitely appreciate the use of the !complete tag, please don't forget to also edit the status on your header. "Closed" or "narrative" if it was as open that wasn't responded to, "complete" if it's a completed thread, or "dropped" if you've used the !dropped instead of the !complete tag.
In the vein of the !dropped tag, if your partner has labeled the thread as dropped, then it will be counting against you when we do activity checks; the minimal amount of time that can pass between last-tag and application of the !dropped tag is one week. Please do not reply to a thread labeled as dropped without discussing it with your partner first.
Please do not create new ! tags in any of the communities. The only tags you should be creating are character tags or player tags if you're a new player, or ~player tags in the threading community to keep track of your threads, and none of those is a ! tag. If you have a suggestion for a ! tag, please run it by the mods, either through the drop box, IMs, twitter, or e-mail.
If you have any questions, comments, etc, please don't hesitate to hit me up.
Also, omg you guys, 7 posts before 11/1 and we have 100 for the month! we can do this!
