MODS DELETE! NEW THREAD

[woodland]

what's AS?

[Pandle]

Am I the only one ecstatic about these new rules?

NO MORE OVERFLOOD OF IMAGES.
THANK YOU CHICKENSMOOTHIE.


Plus now every can't be as fancy as they used to be.
Man, I'm like the only person I know who boycott's fancy posting.

Thank you.
*kisses your feet*

The "strict" rules on romance/violence/drugs etc are hardly new, they're just more clearly written now. Before when we had to mod it was very hard to make it clear why someone's post was wrong now we don't have that issue. CS is also a children's site, so we used the PG rating system to help us make these rules. If you want to roleplay more mature content then CS has never and will never be the place for it. As for images; as Harbinger has states above, no more image flooding. A lot of posts were excessively filled with them; it adds strain on the server, causes huge lagging time for some people and the complaints were endless. More to the point, it's a roleplay, not an art gallery.

I'm sorry if I sound harsh about this, but I have no sympathy for people struggling with these new rules. We've worked hard on these for some time and it makes CS child-friendly and easier to moderate successfully.

Literate; no.
Mature; yup lots, and lots of smut. /:

But that's at least the 1x1 section; I haven't really checked outside of that.

I moved to Eldemore.
We have a far range of writers, and we have pet adoptables to.
I would make an advert for it, but I got a warning last time I did that.

thank you shay^^

yes, a flood of pictures is very unreasonable but only one picture per character? it seems to be a bit unreasonable.
also looking around, i've noticed that many people are starting to use shorter character forums generally consisting of around three to seven pictures. the shorter character forums are also usually small enough so that you don't have to even scroll around to see the entire thing. how is it so hard to look at a little handful?

[Artesian]

Hmm. I don't really mind the one picture per character rule, really. If it really is causing problems for people with tablets or slower computers, then it is the considerate thing to do, to cut down on picture usage. I love the simply coded forms with one image and creative usage of symbols and alignment.

Rereading the rules though (clarified now?) I'm unsure if... most of my roleplays can stay here (two of them, I think?). One of my favorite doctor characters is, well, a doctor. If no one can be injured beyond bumps and bruises, there's nothing for him to do. My Bartimaeus roleplay with Midnight Tails has slavery themes in it, and that book was originally written for PG, PG-13. Sherlock can't really be played any way but a little gory (the story I'm adapting with Zuchi has a severed thumb in it, and I read it when I was about... ten or so? Really young, anyway).

I just don't know. I'm feeling a little depressed about this. I mean, is the stamp in my siggy with the Hulk smashing Loki around not allowed anymore? Loki was, if not killed because he's a god, injured badly enough that he was unable to get up for several hours.

Heck, one of my short-stories ends with the implied death of a character, that I wrote for a contest! Do I have to take that down? Can I even still post a link?

okay, never mind for what I previously posted.

I love CS and all, but I need my freedom!
so now I'm on both Eldemore and Awesome Sauce.
but I'm staying on CS, because I still love chickensmoothie the same ;-;

CS don't need no hate for enforcing the rules XD
I admit, making forms will be a lot harder because pictures are like pillars holding up my forms.
but I'll make the best of it c:

[kelly.]

yeah, same here pumpkin .__.

i really need like a good role playing site with great coding and coders that everyone can have their freedom with. with no adoptables and stuff like that.

theres this site eue i think you have to post a sample of your writing to get accepted.

[gizmo,]

I haven't checked out all the changes yet, but from what I've read so far
I am going to cry
All of my characters and just..... Ugh. All down the drain.
I'm going to join AS though and check it out.
I recently joined Eldemore and the coding is the same on cs, except without the recent rules.
What's that kelly?

[love lucy]

it's so much to take in.
