Etiquette

The first topic of Posting Etiquette 101 is Post Order. Now I know that many of you already know about this, but some of the new folks don’t. Here is how it works. Let’s say you are involved in a thread with Bob and Sally. You post, then Bob posts, then Sally Posts… the order is then set and Bob should wait for you to post again, before he posts… Is this understandable?? It accomplishes a great many things, the most important of which, is that it gives people who can’t live on Ebony (like some of us do) a chance to get their posts out without being run over. It also makes things easier to read and understand.

Now there can be exceptions to this of course; and if you really think that you should post before someone else, send them a PM over the forums, or ping them over AIM, and ask. Or likewise, if you are involved in a thread and you know you will not be able to post for a few days, please either find a way to write the character out, or let the other people in the thread know about this. That way, they can either skip over you, or they can hold the thread until you return.

Size

We'd like to keep this place at its highest quality, so please try to not post replies that are only a few sentences. Give the people something to work with. Describe something ... the room, an action, ANYTHING. We'd like the posts to be at least 3 well written paragraphs long. It doesn't have to be to LOOOOONG paragraphs, but at least look like your trying or the person who is replying to you might lose interest in the thread and or an Admin will shut the thread down for lack of quality and quantity.
