JOURNAL RULES & GUIDELINES
DIR By: konoha
Date: March 21, 2018, 12:47 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
One Journal
We ask that if you open a journal only make one... Fairly
straight forward... If you should decide that you wish to join a
shared journal, please contact a moderator BEFORE you join the
new journal, to request that your old journal is locked and
archived... Please also note, that you are not entitled to join
in a new/shared journal UNTIL the old one is locked and moved to
the archive.
Individual Journal Rules
Every member may make their own rules for their own journal with
regards to posting, which must always be listed in their first
post. You should respect these journal rules. If you, the
journal owner, has anyone breaking your rules for your journal,
then you should PM a moderator/admin about it. This also means
that if a journal owner requests that you no longer post in
their journal, then you stop posting there. If you ignore this
you will instantly receive an unofficial warning as this will be
considered as harassment. Details will be passed to the admin
who will make the decision on whether this is to be upgraded to
an official warning.
50 Page Limit
Once your journal has reached page 50, please contact a
moderator/admin to ask them to lock/archive your journal. Again,
as above, please DO NOT start a new journal until the old one is
locked and archived. Also, please refrain from posting in a
journal which has reached page 50. If you are found to be
pushing a journal to page 51, you will receive an unofficial
warning. This is the case for a few reasons. Firstly, the amount
of people requesting that their journals be locked early.
Secondly, opening 50 page journals is faster than opening one
which is larger. If a member posts past page 50 on 3 different
occasions, then that member will be reported to the security
admin who will make the decision on whether or not to issue an
official warning.
Locking Your Journal
If at any time you wish to finish your journal, for whatever
reason, please PM a moderator/admin. Any closed (locked)
journals on the main Journal forum will be unlocked again when
seen by a moderator. Locked journals need a moderator/admin to
move them to the Archive, so please notify us when this is
required. Please not that a journal can't be moved out of the
archive once it has been moved there.
Opening Post & Suggested Format
All journals must contain an opening post that gives some
information about ALL of the journals owners in it. This is only
a guideline, you do not have to use this, you can format it any
way you wish as long as it contains information about the
owner(s).
Note you do not have to use all, or any, of this format

Journal Ethics
Some journal owners prefer to use their journal as a
constructive space, while others use the journal to socialize.
In either case, posting content which they would not appreciate,
or which is found irritating, is not recommended and could land
you in some hot water with the moderators. Please be courteous,
use some common sense and judge on whether you think the owner
would find your post an annoyance.
Spam
As said before, everyone treats their journal differently--this
may include some "spammy" posts but that is entirely at the
journal author's descretion. (A conversation is considered spam
after 6 off-topic posts.)
Welcoming
If you decide to post in someone elses journal, please try and
be thoughtful about your first post! "Hey how r u?" isn't
exactly friendly or constructive. Please try making a heartfelt
welcome, and try to get to know the owner!!
Additional Information
Placing original username/journal title in first post: If you
are one of these people that often change your username or
journal title then we ask that you put your original username or
journal title in the first post.
