Mod

(view spoiler)[This was previously written by Ellipsis, before she had to leave GR, and now edited a little. (hide spoiler)]

No. 1) Please do not argue incessantly with a moderator, it unnecessary, and makes it difficult to moderate the group. If you do have a complaint or question, please direct message us.

No. 2) If you are having an issue with another member, please let a mod know. Or, if you see another member being harassed, bullied, causing issues, etc. please let a moderator know so that the issue can be resolved quickly.

No. 3) If we see any derogatory comments to another member whether it be, homophobic, racist, discrimination by perception, etc. you will be addressed about that. And the comments will be flagged.

No. 4) The Strike System

One misdemeanor =A warning

Two misdemeanors = Another warning- which will be more severe than the first- and a strike

Three misdemeanors = Another strike and a chance of being kicked out of the group -depending on severity-.

Four misdemeanors = Automatic expulsion

No. 5) Do not god mod, it makes us - the moderators- feel as though we aren't doing a good job. This is just an example:

If you see a question that has yet to be answered and it has been a couple of hours, and you feel that you have an answer or at least a good one, you may answer it. But, if a question has just been posted, and you think a mod is on, or one isn't, but again it has only been a couple of minutes, Do not answer it!

No. 6) If the moderators see the need to have another moderator installed we will be privately messaging the candidate we have in mind. There will be no moderator applications, at all, and no requesting to be a moderator. In the last group, we noticed that someone was actively trying to undermine our authority as moderators, and their friends were always posting comments saying, "Oh, you should be a mod." Being a moderator isn't just a title that you have or free control, it is a responsibility and one that needs to be taken seriously.

No. 7 ) Have fun, and feel free to be yourself. But please, respect others as well.

Sub Rules

No. 1) When speaking out of character, please use the double brackets, not using them is not considered a misdemeanor, but we as mods will be going around making sure that they are used.

No. 2) This is a semi-advanced group, and in it being that, you will need to post a minimum of 4 sentences per post, if you do have writer's block, or are not in the mood to write so much, that is understandable, but that is not the normal. If you have been accepted into the group that means that we expect a bit from you, but we are sure that you can handle it.

No. 3) Again since this is a semi-advanced group, we expect good grammar and punctuation. No, "Be4 i came to this skewl, i wuz a mortul." That hurt me just writing that, so please, write with good grammar.

Again, those are not misdemeanors, but just something important that needs to be known.
