The Alliance is quickly becoming one of the most active plotships in the RP, which I'm proud of you all for accomplishing together.
However, with that comes a responsibility to the rest of the site, mainly the CORRECT use of grammar, consistent use of PAST TENSE and decent spelling.
We're the face of Nepleslia to the RP and I want people to take pride in the cleanliness of their ship.
Because this site is a freeform RP where both interaction and writing ability are important to the well-being of the site as a whole, I will be implementing the following policy:
THE LEAST EACH PLAYER IS REQUIRED TO DO IS THE FOLLOWING:
1. Run every post through the spellchecker that Wes so kindly linked to. It seriously takes like 5 seconds, guys, to get it done.
To do this, simply copy your text from your message body box, click on the spellcheck link (it'll open in a new page), paste it in there, and hit the spellcheck button. Little drag down icons will show up over things it thinks is incorrect, and you can pick and choose what to correct as necessary.
2. Maintain past tense in all forum writing.
EXAMPLE: Jack Miller shot his gun at the enemy, who dramatically fell dead. "Take that, you son of a bitch," he said, blowing the smoke from the barrel of the gun. "Just like a Western film!"
Again, I don't like being a hardass, but at least sticking to past tense and using the spellchecker is not an unreasonable request.
Any questions or comments about this policy can be replied to here. Do not use the OOC thread.
