A guide for HOW TO POST in OGYD!
Even if this all looks strict, OGYD basically has not changed. We hope the guidelines in this post provide more clarity for everyone, and make things easier. Only when appropriate, exceptions to the rules/guidelines may be made, but not without letting you know!
HOW TO POST
Remember, GACKT likes it when we talk about him!
[♥] ALL POSTS must be relevant to GACKT, his fans or ohgacktyoudidnt.
They must abide by the COMMUNITY RULES.
[♥] Please check if it hasn't already been posted to reduce DOUBLE POSTINGS.
[♥] [DISCUSSION] posts are everything not covered by [NEWS] or [RUMOR].
[♥] [NEWS] posts must always display a source at the bottom. Personal comments from the original poster must go below the link to the source, or as an individual comment.
[♥] RUMOR POSTS with no trustworthy source must be clearly marked as [RUMOR]. We don't want to confuse people!
[♥] [FILESHARING] posts must be locked to members only.
[♥] CAGS is an off-topic/spam-post, free to use as you wish as long as you follow the rules. It will appear posted by the community's MOD account ohgacktwedidit on Sundays between 9-11PM Berlin/New York/Tokyo time - in turns and following that order.
[♥] Every other Saturday a FANWORKS♥POST will be posted. You can publish your fanart, fanfiction, icons and wallpapers in the comments.
[♥] FANPROJECTS can be advertised in OGYD twice. First to introduce it and then to confirm what is happening or to advertise a separate community for the project.
OGYD will always allow adverts to other comms if they relate to GACKT and his band!
[♥] Plain SALES POSTS are not allowed in OGYD, but you may use CAGS to pimp your offerings!
[♥] Posts offering your service for the fan community, such as SHOPPING SERVICE POSTS are welcome.
(Example: Buying tour goods from a concert for those unable to attend)
[♥] Posts sharing REPORTS or REVIEWS are appreciated in OGYD. Make sure you provide a bit of discussable content, and aren't merely linking to a post out of the comm, though! Alternatively, advertising and linking to reviews/reports only is welcome in CAGS.
[♥] NO HOTLINKING. Please make use of the plenty uploading agents out there, such as Photobucket or TinyPic.
[♥] Use an LJ-CUT if the post is long and keep any photos outside of the cut to a reasonable size.
The boys may be gorgeous, but we don't need them stretching the layout!
[♥] Don't worry about TAGGING! The Mods appreciate it if you try, if not, they'll do it.
Thank you for reading!
