Meme Update

common_mod — Tue, 24 Jul 2012 21:20:17 GMT

First off, we want to say how amazing this community has been since we started shortly after episode 1. So, thank you to each and everyone of you that visit the meme. This meme would not be active were it not for you. Now to business:

General
1.We just want to remind people that being an anon is not required. You can post using your usernames but we understand that since this is a kink meme, some are more comfortable posting as anons. You are welcome to post in whichever way you wish.

2. We've only had one incident of plagiarism and we want to thank the people that brought it to our attention. Remember that if you see an incident of plagiarism, please notify the mods using the Ask a Mod page.

3. We want to remind people that we do have a Free for all post, where you can flail and discuss the show, characters and whatever else comes to mind. Just make sure that you keep it wank free.

4. Thank you to everyone for staying on top of warning for triggers.

5. We have decided that misplaced comments will continue to be deleted. We want to try to keep the archive as consistent and user friendly as possible and archiving misplaced comments is harder. We ask that if you want to reply to a prompt or fill, to click reply to the comment instead of "post new comment".

Prompts
1. We currently have 200+ prompts archived at our Delicious Archive!

2. We will be enforcing the following rules:
A. Prompts will be screened or deleted (up to discretion of moderator) if they do not follow the proper prompt format. For proper format, please see here. This information is also available at the current meme round.

B. Duplicate prompts will be deleted. Prompts that are closely similar to each other will be deleted up to the moderator's discretion. We will comment with the reason and link to the a previous prompt that is similar to the deleted or a link to the archive tag page.
3. If you have a crossover with another fandom, please indicate the fandom in the subject line (i.e. [crossover: suits]).

4. If your prompt has spoilers for the most recent episode or an unaired episode, please indicate so in the header by using [spoiler:] followed by the episode number. (Example: Spoiler: 1x09)

5. Please make sure that your prompt is understandable (proper grammar as best as possible). This is especially important when we archive. Therefore, make sure that your prompt is in the proper prompt format. We also ask that you keep the flail in a prompt down to a minimum. Additionally, if your commentary is longer than your prompt, it will be deleted and you will be asked to repost.

6. If you make an error when posting a prompt (i.e. forget a part of proper prompt format), please repost your prompt instead of commenting to it.

7. If your prompt was screened/deleted and asked to be reposted, you can find your prompt text here.

8. If as an anon you want to delete your prompt/comment, please notify one of the moderators using the Ask a Mod page or by PM-ing common_mod.

Delicious Archive
The mods have been archiving all the prompts for the archive. We currently have 200+ prompts with 40+ fills. Please note that filled prompts are not archived again, we are only changing the tag from unfilled to filled.

Thank you again for making this a friendly and active community. If you have any questions/comments/concerns, please don't hesitate to either pm common_mod or use the Ask a Mod page.
