 Well, you'd think, why is there is something on reading? I already know how to read!
But, we just want to point out that we want careful readers, nothing should be misinterpreted or skipped because of hurried reading, plus, it's much better when you read slowly and enjoy it. I've had someone misinterpret my post, they thought my character was serious but they were joking, it's not fun to have to clarify things, so be a cautious reader !

 Layouts and pictures, aren't they just wonderful?
Well, we have some basic guidelines for them. Shining, glittery and flashy? That's tacky and hard on the eyes, it would be sweet if you went for normal, non shiny things that don't cause seizures :3
Another thing? One , medium sized picture would be awesome, nothing too big or too tiny, just in between, you can use one big and three to four small ones, don't go overboard !
You can go for simple layouts, or intricate ones, it's all up to you but they aren't required, just a picture and name are. Don't get too clustered though, or post in bright colours that are hard to read like yellow.
Enjoy some examples :

 When roleplaying with others, please follow the posting order that is provided. By abiding to the posting order, it will lessen confusion and allow for a better roleplaying experience. For example if a posting order is given: Roleplayer 1, Roleplayer 2, and Roleplayer 3, please do not break the order. Being attentive to the posting order and actively participating as a cooperative member of the roleplay will allow for easier roleplaying for everyone. Next time you decide to roleplay, remember this: “do not cut in line.”
In other words, Bobby entered the room, then Kent, then Stacy. It's only fair for Bobby to post next, and then Kent, and then Stacy.
If Kent and Stacy just broke the pattern and went off into a 2x2 role-play, bobby would be forced to awkwardly exit, all because he had to be offline to go to school, sleep, or something like that.

 Literacy is a huge part of roleplaying, one of the most important ones. Your literacy can change who you roleplay with, how someone will respond or if someone will be able to respond. If your grammar is broken, chances are, people will have to piece it together or won't understand it at all, a good way to overcome this is too ask a friend, adult or Google. In case of typos, you can make a small OOC post about it or go back and edit it, I'm fairly sure once in a while won't do any harm but every post might. Hardly anyone can respond to oneliners, it would be best to ignore them and have at least four lines but it's also hard to respond to someone who has typed a novel (e.g. 3-4 paragraphs)
It's best to keep a limit of two paragraphs, spell check and asking about grammatical rights and wrongs.

 OOC, this is important as well. We all know that sometimes, when roleplaying, if we feel like speaking as ourself, we use "Out Of Character" and add little things to speak to other roleplayers. Most of the time it's innocent, funny or explaining something, that's okay with us but we don't want to see any exclusion or hate acts towards a person because of their character. Avoid hate acts towards the roleplayer, you can hate their character but not them.
Also, make it very clear that you are talking OOC! The best way is to type:
( OOC: ) or, to make it extra clear, ((OOC: )).
