Rules for artikels and artikel Comments
1. First and foremost, as with the rest of the spot, NO SPAM! If I see any spam artikels of commentaren I will meld them on sight....yeah...I'm mean about spam.
2. Please keep your artikels relevant to the series...this goes hand-in-hand with the spam. No, Harry Potter doesn't make an appearance at Camp Halfblood and I seriously doubt that Whisty Allgood was spotted on Mt. Olympus so I don't want them to be a topic for an article...they have their own boeken and their own spots.
3.Grammar and Spelling, people, grammar and spelling. Please try your hardest to use proper grammar and spelling. I know that we all make our mistakes, and sometimes not even a spell check will catch everything, but try your hardest. If u need someone to read it before hand I will be glad to go over it and pas aan mistakes.
4. I will not have any rude remarks in an artikel of in the commentaren to an article. I will meld these on site. No one, and I mean no one deserves to be treated in an ill manner. If u don't have anything good to say don't say anything at all.
5. Constructive criticism and debate are very much tolerated and welcome, but they mustn't be rude in any way.
6. Vulgarity, such as lewd subjects and curse words, is not allowed...there are only certain instances in an artikel that I will allow them. We will discuss those in a few minutes.
7.If u are gegeven a warning door an admin, just like on the rest of the spot, u are expected to follow their instructions. Not heeding the words of an admin twice in a row will result in a report. Three reports on Fanpop means a ban from the site (not just the spot), so please try to follow the rules and listen to the admins...you can find a complete lijst of the admins in the rules for the Heroes of Olympus spot.
8.Plagiarism will NOT be tolerated. Whether it be in the artikel itself of in the comments, if I see it I WILL meld it! If u are going to use someone else's words give them credit for it.
9. Spoilers will be in effect for two weeks after the release of new (sample) chapters and for at least 2-4 months after the release of the books. If your artikel contains spoilers please put a spoiler alert in both the titel and in the description, and don't put any revealing information in those two places. Failure to follow this will result in one warning. If a seconde warning is needed I will simply meld you.
10. FANFICTION MUST GO IN THE FORUMS!!! All chapter fics must be geplaatst in the forums!Only short stories, ones that are finished in one chapter/article,are allowed to be placed in the artikels section. Any stories placed in the artikels with multiple chapters will be reported as spam of miscategorized content!
Ok so there's some basic rules. Now onto other business, that is to say, the who, what, when, where, how and why of artikel writing.
First off, you'll notice that there are categories in the artikel section. Let's discuss each.
Opinion- This is what 95% of the artikels on the HoO spot are. Pretty much, this is where artikels about your theories, ideas and such go.
Review- Have u finished reading one of the boeken and u want to give your thoughts about the events that occurred? This is where u do it. Reviews should be factual, but a little opinion never hurt. This in no way, shape of form is where u post your predictions for future books.
Guide-This is where only fact is accepted. If u want to give everybody a rundown of the characters, of a beschrijving of the plot line you'll put it here. Also, rules geplaatst door the admins will be geplaatst as guides and new information about upcoming releases will be geplaatst here door one of the admins.
Fan Fiction-This is a special artikel because most fanfiction is to be placed in the forums. Only short stories, ones that are finished in one chapter/article,are allowed to be filed under this category. This is the only one of the artikel categories that vulgarity will be allowed in, but it must be properly rated like the regular fanfiction.
List-Oh! So u want to lijst out the important places of u want to make a checklist of things a young demigod should take on their quest? This is the place to do it...
Other- This is a catch all for everything that doesn't fit in the other categories. Again, please make sure it is relevant to the spot and the series.
