Welcome to the Zoo Community Forum and Writers Guild. Please see through our rules and announcements.
NO Meet up posts
NO personally identifying information
1) NO Human/ Animal porn EXCEPT in written or artistic form. In other words, none in video or photographic format! NO COMMERCIAL PORN WHATSOEVER! Links to sites containing such are fine, but no links to specific human/ animal porn photos or videos.
2) NO Flaming of others opinions or posts. IOW, no personal attacks. (Including no trolling behavior)
3) ANY AND ALL PERSONAL INSULTS HAVE NO PLACE IN PROPER DEBATE! This includes insult in return for insult given. I will now institute one warning for such behavior, followed by moderated posts by the member, followed by banning.
4) ABSOLUTELY NO PEDOPHILIA! Not in written form, artistic form or any other.
5) There is an off topic forum for non-writing subjects. Keep all off topic posts in there please.
6) No rape for rapes' sake- no matter how well written, I'll delete it. If an act of rape is integral to a story, but not the focus of the story, it may not be censored. Note that I decide this, and my decision is final. Note that wanton cruelty falls under rape in my opinion.
7) Numbers only user-names are no longer allowed. All user names MUST contain at least TWO letters. If you currently have a numbers only user name, contact a staff member by pm to have it changed by the end of this month.
8) There is now a limit on posting replies if no other has replied. You my not make more than two immediate and simultaneous replies to a post if no other has replied, EXCEPT if posting a story, artwork, or photos/ videos. You may post another reply after a another member has posted, or after two hours. This will be on the honor system, not a set code in the forum, unless it is ignored.
9) Don't post your works as a reply to another's', start your own thread.
10) You are encouraged to post any replies to any work you enjoy. As it is the purpose of the forum, if you feel you can offer constructive criticism, please do so. Thank yous and other appreciations are nice, but a suggestion on improvement is even better
11) Illustration of your work- You are welcome to post images (with-in the General Rules) with your stories and poetry, but do not use copyrighted material nor let the images rather than the writing become the focus of your post.
12) Links to porn sites no longer allowed; For clarification, this DOES NOT include sites containing porn but whose main focus is not porn! (ie: Other forums)
