Hi guys! Since we have some new folks, I thought I'd mention a few things about how the comm works, and it's a good refresher for you guys already here too!
Undertherainbow is an In-Character internet forum: Basically, your character is posting in an internet journal community. The posts and comments look exactly to the characters as they do to you (with the exception of "locked" posts). That means that strike-throughs look just like that, and can be read.
It also means that if your characters do a *laughs* or *hugs* .. They aren't actually doing those things, they're typing it just like that. The only people who do that are internet RP geeks like us players. While some characters might be RP geeks, chances are most aren't, and they probably wouldn't be using *actions* in the middle of comments to others. Please don't use them. The comm is for in-character writing.
Also, please remember to tag posts when you create and/or comment on them. We have a slightly OCD mod who has to go in and tag all the people that forget to tag, and it's making her eye go all twitchy. If you could remember to tag as you're commenting, that'd be super helpful!
If you have any questions about formatting or the communities or anything else, feel free to ask the mods! We are more than happy to help! |
