New Rules.
Hi, just posting to say that I am now co-maintainer with [info]jennay since she has been unable to be around much because of a hefty work schedule I’m now taking full control of this community for the time being.

Some new rules [info]jennay and I came up with today.

  • Don't post in all capital letters. A lot of people find this annoying.


  • Don’t post off topic.

    Examples:

    If it’s not Days related don’t post about another Soap
    Don’t ask for livejournal codes go to a community related to that.
    Don’t promote other communities in here. If you do the post will be deleted.
    Or any other random thing that has nothing to do with Days.

    Etc, you get the hint.

  • [info]jennay asked for people to not post irrelevant posts such as “I hate Sami”. Yes we understand you want to express your distaste for this character and you can do that It’s one thing to say you don’t like a character but give us a reason why you don’t like them.. Don’t just say “I hate so and so” Say what pissed you off about him or her because if not that’s just a waste of a post.

  • If you post a long entry/article/poll please use a lj-cut.


  • If you join this community, this is a MUST. If you want to share a spoiler you hear about the show, please do an lj-cut. if you don't know how to do one, I’ll explain below.

    A spoiler can also be inside information about the show. Like, if you know what's going to happen on next week's episodes or about actors getting hired or fired and such. Those are a lj-cut MUST. a lot of people don't want to know what's going to happen since it takes the surprise out of watching it. Some people don't care so it's much easier to just do a lj-cut.

    It’s:






  • As per request if there is a Days related quiz please do no post quiz results in a separate post but in the original one where the quiz was shown.


  • If you cannot abide by these rules I will take action.

    If you cannot follow these rules you will be given a warning first if you continue to break the rules you will be removed and banned from this community.

    Thank you for your cooperation. These rules go into effect now.

    Also as a side note we are looking for someone to re-vamp our style in the community. This person must have knowledge of overrides. If you are up for the challenge feel free to e-mail me here with the style and I will put it up. Thanks.

    i agree 100% and if anyone is anal over this, get over it. not to be rude, but communities need rules. and these are basic community rules. some people don't want to know what's going to happen or who's coming or who's going.

    and the off topic posts get out of hand. i mean, one or two or fine but if you're generally posting your business in this journal, then it's a problem. that's what your own journal is for. feel free to add the people if you like what they have to say. that's why there are communities for such things.

    this community needed re-organization and rules. that's why there are maintainers and moderators. for that reason.

    i apologize if this seemed rude and harsh [my comment] but i agree fully on this. and the excuse "i don't know how to use lj-cut" won't hack it because most LJ clients have this option.

    thank you! :)

    [lj-cut text="click here to read a spoiler">
    spoiler added here
    [/lj-cut]

    replace the []'s with ( )'s.


    do you mean replace the []'s with < >'s?

    You should make a rule about those quizzes that keep popping up. Instead of everyone making a new post, they should comment under the first one.

    You don't know how ANNOYING it is to scroll thru like 12 of those stupid things in a row on my friends page.

    I agree except for one teensy thing..

    jennay asked for people to not post irrelevant posts such as “I hate Sami”. Yes we understand you want to express your distaste for this character and you can do that It’s one thing to say you don’t like a character but give us a reason why you don’t like them.. Don’t just say “I hate so and so” Say what pissed you off about him or her because if not that’s just a waste of a post.

    I actually think those posts are better because they are easier to skim over. hehe

    But good rules! Now let's see who follows them!

    I am pretty good with layouts and web design. If nobody else has volunteered to make the layout I would love to do it.

    I know you said to email you the style but a nice layout can be a lot of work and I would hate to go through all of that if someone else is already doing it.

    Just give me the word and I am all over it though.

    P.S. Thanks for making the rules perfectly clear for all of us. :)

    Hi, would you still be interested in making a layout for the community? If so we'd be ever so grateful.

    http://www.livejournal.com/customview.cgi?user=daysofourlives&styleid=400175

    Just create a new style using ID# 400175

    If you need any more helping adding it or help with the user info page...just let me know. :)

    well, when i went to enter it i got the response it wasn't a public style so whenever you want to make it public we'll have it up and running on the community. thanks again for being so generous.

    honestly, i have no clue what's going on with it nor do we have a paid account any longer to edit it. :( but we're looking for someone to do a new style for us so hopefully someone will bite.

    hi, since you have been so nice with making us a layout and hosting it for us i was curious if you would be interested in becoming a moderator for the community. we're looking to find a few people who frequent the community. (not sure if you do still) but if you're interested please let us know. thanks.

    Hi! I'm new to all of this...love the Days journal, by the way.

    This may be a stupid question, however, I've figured out how to post a comment in response to someone elses comment but how to you post the initial comment that shows on the main page? On the main page I haven't seen anything that would enable me to post something. If I "Follow the Stalker," I do see how to add a comment.

    I just want it to stop. I was slightly rude to someone for posting a spoiler not behind and LJ and since I have received 23 messages from "yourpultry" telling me I am not wanted, I should be banned, calling me a bitch....I come here to post my views. I dont bash others. Please ask her to stop. Thank you.

    well, if you're using the website to update your journal go here http://www.livejournal.com/update.bml?mode=full and then under journal to post in select the daysofourlives community. if you use a downloaded lj client under journal select days. hope that helps. :)

    I was wondering if you would like to be affiliates with my community?

    It's about any soaps, at all.

    just thought I'd ask, you can say no if you want. <3

    I definitely think a rule should be made regarding respecting other community members. It seems many hurl insults at one another and that should not be tolerated in any public forum.

    Thought I'd comment because I tried to use the email address a few weeks ago and don't think it ever made it to you. I'm interested in affiliating a Soapnet community with yours, since Days airs on Soapnet. Can you comment back or contact me via email luckyno13 at excite.com? Thank you!
