A few guidelines for submitting News Articles and Calendar Events:
  1. Spelling
    This shouldn't need to be brought up, but I have to. In all honesty, spelling in submissions have been atrocious lately.
  2. Punctuation
    Nobody likes to read a paragraph of text without any punctuation marks including commas or full stops or anything else because to read it out loud sounds like youre on a high and cant stop talking and it looks really really bad so please try to include punctuation in your submission Razz
  3. Line Breaks
    There is no need to
    hit enter at the edge
    of the message box,
    because it won't stretch the text! The text, as with 99% of all web forms, auto-wraps to the edge of the container Smile
  4. News articles copied from other sources
    This is not a request, this is a rule. If you do not include the URL of the original article, or try to copy the text in full, your submission will be deleted Smile
Following these simple guidelines not only helps us, but it will get your submission approved by Admin quicker.

Thanks guys Smile

The Rules for Posting and the Terms of Use are linked on the left of every page, not just the forums - it's just that nobody looks at them Smile
