next meme + rule follow up
Hey kids! The next meme is going up this Saturday at 7pm East Coast time. Grab your lists, get your stuff together, and be ready!
But first, I do want to go over the rules again here so people can ask questions.
1. This meme is for LJ, IJ, and DW games. Not for Tumblr. Sorry, guys. If you want a Tumblr game, I'd go look for games over there.
2. Please remember that there's no images allowed. No fancy bordering, no gifs, no graphics, nothing. No exceptions. And no obnoxious coding.
3. If there's a (span) tag in your HTML, don't post it. Forcing the text to be a certain size or length requirement makes viewing the meme on smaller monitors (or on mobile) really difficult. Please don't do that.
4. Please try and cater your game to the offers. I get multitudes of complaints (like twenty or thirty) per month about THIS GAME that is spamming every single person. If you are a new game and you're eager to get new blood, just relax. Breathe. Post to the new game thread, post to the small game thread, and hit up a few people who you think would really work in that setting. You're not adding anyone to your playerbase when you comment to every single person. All it does is get people angry. Which leads me to my last rule, which is the most important...
5. Don't be an asshole. This isn't wankgate. This isn't an anoncomm. If you start commenting with anonymous hate to someone, the thread will be frozen, deleted, and anonymous will be disabled. You know that kid who throws mud at recess and then recess is banned for everyone? Yeah, that's what happens when you're an ass. Don't do it.
With that said, thank you guys for your continued suggestions and for alerting me about anything going on when the meme goes up. It's hard to juggle 10+ pages at once sometimes and when I go to sleep, it's always great that people catch things for me. Thank you!

It's technically an image link, but only because we like using the pirate-y font and had to download it separately. Can we use that? And if so, does it need to be a little smaller or is it okay?
And if not, that's cool! Just checking. :D

After some consideration, I'm going to have to say that no, it's not allowed. It's still an image link and since I need to be fair with the No Images rule, we can't have it in the ads. I'd just do a normal ad and link back to the cool pirate-y one so people can enjoy it.
Sorry about that!
