Title: Compilation of New User info
Description: READ THIS, NEWBIES!


Book Of Shadows - November 27, 2003 11:55 PM (GMT)
Here's a compilation of all the guidelines which all new users should read before signing up and posting.

Usernames

Signing up is simple. You pick a name, and... sign up! But what's important is that you pick something that adheres to these guidelines:
  • Does not include numbers or symbols (*,~,# etc)
  • Is not the name of a character from the show, or somebody already in the game (it may be difficult to know if your name has been taken, but you will be notified if it has)
  • Is simply a real, plausible name!
  • Last names are not necessary, but allowed.
It seems like a lot of restrictions, but when you think about it, really it's not. Names are very important in the World, because, obviously, it's how we know who is who, and if you have a realistic name, the World is more realistic also.

Posting Etiquette

Here at A Charmed World there is only one way to post, and when universally practised by all member, maintains a pleasant appearance for the board, and also makes each post easy to understand. As a character, you are able to post your words, thoughts and actions, and here's how to do it:

~

::When your character is doing something, you write, in the present tense, the details inside double colons.::

"If your character is speaking, give them quotation marks."

(And as for thinking, you post your thoughts inside brackets, with the whole thing italicised.)

~

Easy enough, non? Stick to this way of posting and you won't go wrong. Mind your spelling too! Remember we don't accept kewl talk or dIsToRtEd TeXt here, and your posts containing these things may be edited.
