Banners and Member Conduct Now that we're all viewing stories by "Recent," that means that everyone on the site will be able to view the banners on fan fics.
Do you know what that means?
It means that people need to be more careful when posting banners. The recommended size for banners is 600pixels wide and 300pixels tall. The width MUST NOT BE more than 600pixels, otherwise it will not fit the layout. If your graphic is a little taller than this, it's okay, but do not make your banner much taller than 300pixels.
Here is an example of the largest your banner should be:

Why are we enforcing this rule? Because not everyone's computers can handle loading insanely large files. Also, because we've had multiple banners posted that are too large for the layout. When a banner is too wide it will post over things such as the menu, the ads, and the guides.
I think we can all agree that the banners should not be larger than the layout.
This is good time to also remind you that posting songs and videos that auto play in your summaries is also NOT A GOOD THING.
Fan fics with banners that do not fit the size requirements will be either resized or removed from the site. If you post music or videos that play automatically, they will be removed.
Member Conduct...
This is something we shouldn't have to even talk about, but sadly, we do.
When dealing with other members on the site and when dealing with the admins/mods, you must be polite. This isn't suggested, this is required. There is no reason for anyone to be rude, insulting, or all around bitchy to someone else on the site. If you're going to be a jerk, do it off the site. We are not tolerating it here anymore.
This carries over into emailing the site staff. If you email one of the staff asking for help or if you have a complaint, do not be rude about it. Please and Thank Yous will get you very far in life.
The lack of respect shown for the site staff boggles my mind, since we are all here WORKING FOR YOU, FOR FREE. We get upwards of 80 fan fic submissions a day in the queue, and as you can imagine, reading them all over and validating them is a real chore.
It takes time and energy, so a little gratitude goes a long way. No one is asking for you to kiss anyone's ass on the staff, but we are asking for a little patience and a little less lip.
Do not email the site staff demanding they fix an issue. Email them and ask if they can. You may find they will respond to your problem quicker if you aren't an insane psycho bitch.
Just a little heads up for you there.
Thank you, and goodnight.

Glad you have the balls to tell people how they should act politely. Sad that you have to tell them, but glad that you do.
And thanks for still running the site and not quitting on us, even though we're more bother than we're worth

So...What happens when Kadaver posts an update to Twincest the Musical?
- Ying Fa on 12/15/08 05:38 pm
What do you mean by that, Ying Fa?
As long as Jill doesn't have videos that automatically play when you open the fic, it's fine.

All I said was that songs or videos shouldn't be in the summaries on autoplay, she doesn't post videos/music in the summaries of her fan fic.
Read much?
Read much?

Lol, I would assume i read a lot, i suppose sometimes i skim, depending on who wrote it. Thanks for the answer. ^^
- Ying Fa on 12/15/08 08:06 pm
Oh, that's nice. Maybe read the rest of the news article since it would seem to apply to you.
- cynical_terror on 12/15/08 08:08 pm

- Ying Fa on 12/15/08 08:11 pm
Tell me, what did I ever do to you to deserve your attitude?
- cynical_terror on 12/15/08 08:13 pm
Lol, it cut off some of my post. XD. I said, "love to the admins, no doubt, but everything seems pretty set in stone."
