Please read and review these basic rules before making any posts whatsoever on the SS forums. Breaking the rules could result in account suspension or even a ban.
1. Introduce Yourself.
It's not strictly required but preferred. We're very friendly here and love a proper introduction so we know a little about who's posting around here!
2. Avatars and Signatures.
Avatars must be 100x100 pixels or smaller and must not contain offensive material. Signatures must be kept at a size that will not stretch the page.
3. Etiquette and Respect.
Please remain polite and respectful of all staffers and members and their opinions. Any flaming of the site or its community or fighting between members will result in a warning or even a ban.
4. Posting rules.
I. Credit your sources! Any pictures or other media being posted must be credited to its rightful source. We must be very careful because there are very strict copyright laws, particularly for Edie.
II. Strong language (most of which will be automatically censored) is not tolerated nor is "chat-speak" aka any unintelligent use of spelling and grammar (i.e., no "eDiE iz so ~kewl~").
III. Anything pertaining to style, beauty or hair have their own designated sections and rules so please review those before making any posts regarding those subjects.
5. Questions
Please look through the FAQ first and the Site area before asking any questions, whether by thread or by PM to the administrators.
6. Media Section
The media section as of right now is password-protected. To gain access please PM one of the staff (Nel or Ally).
7. Karma
What is karma, you may be wondering? If a person is exalted, their karma goes up - a sign of a good reputation. If a person is smited, their karma goes down a point. Usually someone is exalted when they've made a good point, posted something helpful, or something else positive. On the other hand, when someone is smited, it's for negative reasons (being rude, et cetera). Abuse of the smite option will result in a warning or worse.
These rules are subject to change at any time. Thanks for reading and if you have any questions please feel free to PM me
