[/style] [style=text-align: right; font-family: courier new; color: #551033; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 12pt;]greetings, loved ones. let's take a journey. So your friendly neighbourhood admin Hailz does claims often on sites, and she notices a VERY LARGE NUMBER OF MISTAKES. So she thought, "How am I going to get this through to the members of our wonderful site that you should post a claim properly, in order to make it easier for the admins so they won't eat the heads off Barbies in stress?" And then the idea hit her. ITS INSTRUCTIONAL POST TO THE RESCUE, BITCHES! Anywho, so here's a few things I've noticed that you minions members need to improve on when posting claims: LAST, first!?: I get 'kent, clark', 'wayne bruce', 'chuck norris' and everything in between. Now Chuck Norris is the only one who has permission to go against the code, because the code of life is written by Chuck Norris therefore we must follow him. But since you people aren't Chuck Norris (because he's Chuck Norris, and there's only one Chuck Norris) you have to follow the claim. SEE HOW THE LAST IS IN CAPS? THAT MEANS YOU POST IT IN CAPS! and see how the first has no capitals? that means you post without a capital letter in sight! It's not hard, people. This goes for the other claims, too. IF ITS IN CAPS POST IN CAPS, if its in all smalls do all smalls. Or I'll tell Chuck Norris. Post in Code!?: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO THIS! Your claims WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED unless you post in code, okay? There's nothing worse than having to copy all this stuff you people claim and do it. Please, make it easier for us and just post in code. Spock would want you to, so do it not for us, but for Spock. The Enterprise, Captain Kirk, and the universe will thank you. Reading Other Peoples Posts!?: So you want to claim a spot in one of our fabulous sports or clubs, we get it. But the fact that I keep seeing people posting claims for spots people above them have already claimed, or that are already on the list sort of irritates me. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, BUT READING IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF LIFE! If it wasn't, you wouldn't be reading this. Actually, yes you would, because it's written by me and you all love me. But that's not my point. You've got to read the people above you's posts to see if they've already claimed what you want. First come, first serve people. Unless there's cupcakes. Then admins get first picks because we're all-powerful. Posting Claims Before Accepted!?: This is a BIG NO-NO. Really, if you're not accepted, we do not yet know if you are worthy of our hard labour on these notoriously horrible claims. Therefore, please wait until you are fully accepted before troubling us. We don't want to work, but we love you all. Therefore, just chill, take a breath, wait to be accepted. If not, well, your claim gets deleted and it's more hassle for the both of us. Patience is a virtue. Use it well. Posting Questions!?: I've seen questions in the claims. Questions are not claims. Claims will eat questions alive. Therefore, for the safety of innocent questions everywhere, don't post them in the claims. PM an admin with those poor questions so they get some TLC from their time with the cannibalistic claims. We promise we'll take good care of them and return them as answers as soon as they've recovered and have gone through some therapy. So this is Hailz' marvelous, incredible, wonderful list of things you can do to make the admins' lives easier. Please follow them, or I'll go ninja on you. I'm serious. I will. Because I'm one tough mofo... KTHANKSLOVEYOUALLTOODLES! <3 Hailz~ PS: Don't make me send Chuck Norris after you. Follow the rules. Read. Be intelligent little people. And please, don't feed the other admins. They bite. [/style][/style]
