By  Thomas at Mon May 11 10:43:57 2009I am very happy and proud to announce that the Elfwood rules has been revised in an effort to make them simpler, much more open and easier to understand. In response to feedback and criticism from our members, me and a selected team of experienced Elfwood moderators formed a task team to cut down, simplify and revise our rules. The work has been going on for a couple of weeks now, and I would like to take the time to thank everyone involved, and especially Monica! Many of our rules were written in the old and dark ages, and were relevant and meaningful back then. However, as time goes by, we realized that a lot of them were unnecessary or just made life harder for our members. The new rules have been cut down to a minimum, and are much more open and allowing. The new rules are in effect from today, May 11th. They have replaced the old ones, and can be found under the "Rules" drop down menu at Elfwood. An important aspect of the new rules set is the introduction of an "Other Works" tab for Elfwood user accounts. Under that tab, everything that isn't within genre for the area will be placed by the moderators. This could include anything from pictures of your dog, to too-low-quality stuff. In practice, this means that the moderators will only reject extreme violence, porn and stolen/illegal material - everything can end up under the "other works" tab if it is out of genre. The moderation process will also be changed, as the tickets are gone. The old ticket system will be replaced by a new moderation queue, where all uploaded material ends up automatically without the need of manually submitting any tickets. This means that if you upload something new, all you need to do is to fix the "issues" with the items you've uploaded (i.e. writing descriptions and classifying the work into categories), and after that you just need to wait for a moderator to look at your material. |
