Just a few guidelines I'd like to set out for everyone involving submissions to the gamecolumns! To keep things ordered, I will put the rules in a bulleted list!
- Watch your language! Although I do have some swearing in my Hall of shame page, I would like to kindly ask submitters to keep it under control. A few mild ones won't get your submission thrown out, but strings of F-bombs won't get you in either.
- NO SEX! This seems like a no-brainer, but it needs to be said. Submissions with blatant adult content will be thrown out. VERY mild innuendos probably won't, but still, keep it tasteful for everyone's sake!
- Always include a question, or be interactive! If you send in just a few simple statements, then you're not following the spirit of the site. This rule isn't concrete since people can run out of questions though, so at the very least do something to interact with the characters or cause some crazyness. These columns are intended for humor after all!
- Don't even try flames. All insulting and/or hateful submissions will not only be banned, but will end up in my Hall of Shame page. Think before you type, and you just might avoid a bricking!
- Don't use an offensive screenname. Even if your submission is 100% legit, you're still not going to get anywhere if you have a hateful/disgusting/otherwise questionable username. Once again, think before you type.
- Cameos will not overlap. I will allow people to request a single cameo character for any given column, but never more than one at a time. If you want your character to be a cameo, be sure to send in a description of your char's personality, and if you have a sprite for him/her, send it too!
- No Obscure Cameos. I reserve the right to refuse a cameo reuqest at any time if I am unfamiliar with the character you are requesting. For example, if you want a character from FFVII, which I have never played, I would have to turn you down, because I just don't know any of the characters from that game.
That about sums everything up! Keep this stuff in mind and you'll go far as a submitter on the GameColumns!
