ACTIVITY + REMOVALS

we want to keep things lax here, but participation will be vital to keeping this community alive! we ask that everyone be willing to contribute to group activities and branch out of their comfort zones to interact with other players! once you've been accepted, you must post your introduction within three days of being added. this will count towards your monthly update requirement. if you've been accepted before the 15th, you will need to update twice a month. there are no length requirements at this time! however, at least one update should have comments enabled and the majority of them need to be replied to. all posts must be friends-locked and visible on the friends page, not backdated. keep in mind: if you make a post and fail to reply to the majority of your comments after a week, you risk removals. additionally, if your friends list is out of date (two weeks+), you will be removed. we will be tracking updates on a semi-monthly basis, rather than a rolling update schedule. each month, we will do two activity checks: once at the beginning of the month and once towards the middle of the month, approximately around the 14th-16th. if you were removed for inactivity and wish to return within the first two weeks, you must provide an update when you reapply. please include this link in your application in lieu of examples. your updates cannot be backdated or hidden from the community. it must be visible for all to read!

EXTENSIONS + HIATUS

if you need a hiatus or an extension, please inform the mods and we will try to accommodate your schedule. we are understanding about personal issues and realize that real-life comes first, but try not to abuse this by barely clearing checks. should we notice players doing this, a warning will be issued. it should also be noted that we will not accept a hiatus or extension for two months back to back, and our current time is set at four weeks max.
