Prefixes
And what they are for.
And what they are for.
I am sure many of you have noticed the use of prefixes in the titles of the threads here in the guild. [Rules], [OOC], [Chat], [RP], so on and so forth. The use of Prefixes is a throw back from the old days of the Guild, and I see no reason why a system that worked then, can not work now.
The Prefixes are used to make searching through various topics and threads quick and easy at a glance. Say your looking for a Roleplay? - Look for the threads marked with [RP]. Craving a discussion? [ED] is where its at.
Prefixes should always be placed at the front of a thread's Title. - Using prefixes isnt mandatory, but the crew does reserve the right to stick them on if you haven't done so yourself. It just makes finding things easier.
For more info, see the quoted section below!

Several members have requested a list of prefixes to use. Well, here it is, but once again I want to say that we're not a**l about this. You won't get in trouble if you don't do it or do it wrong (we'll just do it for you or fix it biggrin ). And if you have something that doesn't fit into this list, make up a new one! 3nodding
[Rules]
Please do not use this. It is reserved for us to mark threads which have rules. Only crew should be using this prefix.
[Guild]
Please do not use this. I want it reserved for threads that deal with official guild business. That means stuff like asking for suggestions and so on for the guild. Only crew should be using this prefix.
[RP]
Use this for roleplay threads.
[OOC]
Use this for non-roleplay threads that you want to associate with a roleplay thread. You know, things like character profiles, OOC chat, plotting and so on. If you give the thread the same name as the RP thread, except with a different prefix, then it will be obvious which threads are associated.
[Request]
This is for any requests you want to make - roleplay partners, art, whatever.
[ED]
Short for Extended Discussion. This is for anytime you want to have long discussions based on a specific topic.
[Pics]
Use this for threads that have mostly pics in them. This warns people that there are a lot of pics and loading might be slow. Also, people who don't want yuri pics up on their screen will get fair warning.
[Chat]
For threads that are just for fun chatting, with no real topic. There may be a theme or topic, or a setting, and it may be sorta kinda roleplayed, but it's more about just hanging out than roleplaying or discussion.
[Ad]
For advertising other threads, guilds, forums, etc. etc.
[Misc]
If you don't know what else to use, you can use this, or make up your own. 3nodding (For example, Aena says she might use [Directory] for her RP partner directory.)
