Rules of the Editorial's Forum.

Duo · 10-21-2005

I am going to lay things out here for everyone. These rules will set the standard which I myself intend to personally enforce. Considering the popularity of the Forum, I estimate 3 people will read this in the next month.

1) An Editorial cannot be short. You must make it at least 3 paragraphs in length, not including introduction and conclusion.

2) Proper Spelling and Grammar is very important. If you severly lack in either category, you're Editorial may be deleted.

3) Do not simply draw conclusions out of nowhere. Back up your idea's and opinions with some form of evidence, whether it be from a chart, line citation, or something else.

4) Please do not do a subject that has been done before unless you bring a fairly large new element to it, different enough to set it apart.

5) The subject should be relevent. Almost anything is accepted, but something like how fast Gohan and Trunks hair grows is just too stupid.

6) Keep post-editorial commentary intelligent and relevent. This forum tolerates off-topic posts least of all.

7) Enjoy yourself. Intellectuals can really outlet themselves here. A great time when harnassed as such.

I'll allow a few posts and comments after this, but I will regularly clean them out if old ones lose relevence.

I think this was a good idea, Duo. I've read some editorials in the past that shouldn't have even been considered editorials because of how short they were. I tend to read more instead of post. Not too many of them lately though.
