III. Commandments

1. Previous Post: If you post to a thread without looking at previous post, and your post is ignorant of anything important said by ANYONE over the course of that page, should ANYONE complain to me as to your conduct, your post will be REMOVED and you will be WARNED over PM.

2. REREADING BEFORE POSTING IS REQUIRED: If you are about to post, STOP. Reading is REQUIRED at the Academy, especially your OWN posts. Spelling and grammar mistakes happen to EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY you. Read your own posts for spelling, grammar, run-ons, and continuity of thoughts. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR NOT REREADING, even if English is not your first language. Note: If you are too lazy to use a word processor, use Firefox Web Browser. It has a built in spell check.

3. PLEASE USE PAST TENSE: If you are used to using present tense in the descriptive narrative your RP posts, UNLEARN this terrible habit. Present Tense will NO LONGER be permitted. YOU are NOT your character. YOU are a whole 'nother entity, who is narrating the adventures of your character. YOU will use ONLY past tense, unless you are a Game Master or Equivalent. Note: Your character may use present and even future tense in dialoge and though.
