Writers Discussion Rules

[Canofceleri]

How about I jerk off onto your mother's cunt?

 

I usually don't care to put my input in around here... but I always see these jerk off posts that isn't even someone's exhibition. Jerk off rules here, jerk off argument there, jerk off discussions here, and jerk off ideas there. A bunch of jerk off sh*tty writers on this forum for the most part. You should all go jerk each other off in a little circle jerk and eat the resulting collective spooge. Idiots.

Brilliant.

 

Lots of sweary words, well done. Excuse me while I don't listen to the opinion of a man who attempted to fake his own death on an internet forum. You've contributed virtually nothing recently, so what gives you the right to barge in and criticise? Maybe you ought to show us where we're all clearly going wrong, pal.

Actually, you were one of the few who hasn't annoyed me constantly (even though I did anticipate such a response and not surprisingly from you). It's not one man's fault, attitudes grow off another.

 

As for contributions, my contributions... it was never about that, I don't care... if I post something I've written (which isn't often) it's not to contribute to anything, it's for me-- I don't care if you sh*t on it or love it, it is what it is. But yeah, I guess you got me.. faking my death was stupid and took too much energy. But stupid is apart of me and it is obviously in abundance here.

I think the main problem here is the fact people seem to expect feedback sometimes, almost posting solely for that. I'm not naming names (mainly because there's not enough people I know of who do said act) because it's simply not me and it's a rare instance. However, it does happen and people forget why they write in the first place. I don't think Writer's Discussion is in such a state to require rules. Sorry Carbine, nothing personal, I just don't think we need rules at the moment. Topics that seem to cause problems drift quickly into oblivion.

Although I´m not going to pin it, perhaps some excerpts of it will be included in the pinned topic within the next couple days. Sound good?

Sounds great. Do you mean the "Guide to Writing Topic"

 

@Masterkraft - Don't worry i understand but this wasn't a rule for the writers forum, but more of an introduction to new people. At least give me credit for trying to help.

[Rhoda]

Of course, yeah, I'll give you that. Some newcomers need to be whipped into shape, but they get enough in their story topics and they either improve or leave.

Sure do. We´ll take a look at what´s included here that isn´t there and it´ll be put up as another section, with full credit due.

That's cool!

Can't ask for much more than that can you Carbine?

Thank's Phil, have you had a happy meal or something?

Well no so it's better than nothing

I don't expect big words saying "Also contributed by CARBINE23" but it's going to be cool seeing some points in this topic in Eminence's.

 

@gta phil - Thanks again but you may want to check out Ronmar the Only too because i read up in the writers ideas that he was thinking of contributing rules to that thread.

 

Also, I'm thinking about doing up a thread for the masses, something like the Guide to Writing, but I may just see if E wants to add my thoughts to his. I don't know yet, might start on it here before I go to sleep.

 

[gta phil gta]

Thank's Phil, have you had a happy meal or something?

No, why? Do you perceive me as some extremely negative person, regardless of the circumstances? Get to know me and I'm not quite as negative as you seem to think.

 

@Carbine: I'm sure some credit along those lines may be given to you, and if there's any contributions by Ronmar then they'll be taken into account also.

[The Unvirginiser]

Chill Phil lol

Was only joking with you

Regarding the situation of new writers coming into Writers Discussion and starting one new story after another, why don't we put in place a 7-day rule that states that:

 

A writer may not start a new story within 7 days after posting his previous one.

 

Failure to comply will result in a warning, then a complete WD ban.

[Carbine23]

Does that apply for every writer or just the new ones?

 

Plus it might not work because others have failed to listen to us when we told them what to do. Unless we get the mods involved, then it's not a good plan. Can you actually set a ban for a specific section though?

[Damo.]

No, but a mod can give the member a warning each time they post here.

I like this idea. It'll stop so many stories from being abandoned.

[Ronmar The Only]

Holy sh*t batman! I didn't know that anyone picked up on my comment about a helping guide...jeez, I'm actually going to need to finish it now.

 

Digress, my thought was a topic that many people could contribute to so people can have access to a range of tips and tricks of the trade.

[Gabriel Constantin]

I think it would be better applied to everybody. There will be a lot of arguements if you choose to exclude people just because they are 'new.' And the definition of new and old writers will have to be refined to a key in order for this system to work. Having everyone adhere to these rules would be much better.

[Vercetti21]

How about we match the GFX Requests Forum by setting a ten day limit? Over there, you can make one request per ten days. Over here, you should only post a new story every ten days. Failure to comply will result in thread lockage for the last story posted, or warnings if it becomes a continuous thing.

 

And of course, it should apply to everybody.

 

Stops the spam by forcing members to stick with one story for at least ten days before giving it up and starting something new, and keeps less topics from popping up, thus keeping WD a relatively small forum. It could also possibly increase the amount of attention each piece gets, as there would be less pieces overall. And I wouldn't really consider it nazi-fying this place, as it would be pretty much the only enforced rule exclusive to WD. Everybody wins.

Agreed 100%, excellent idea radicell

[Gabriel Constantin]

I think ten days may be a little too much though, I know there are some of us who can crank out a story every couple of days. I don't think these people should be denied that chance. I think five days, at the most, maybe.

Sounds good to me

It would stop the constant new threads being made by members who claim "oh im still working on my other piece but i can handle it!" bullcrap.

They can write as much as they want. We're not disallowing them from churning out new ideas into stories, they just can't post it over here until ten days have passed. It's really not a long time, I think people can wait and it would overall help the majority of us.

 

Five days isn't sh*t. Ten is perfect, basically means you can post something new every week.

[Wanted Assailant]

Excellent, we can contact a mod like Waddy and things can get into place. It's a wonderful idea, actually. It'll make WD seem like the formal place it is, with the spam toned down a lot, and more writers getting attention.

 

 

Although, people would post all on the same day seeoing people can whip up a story in a day or two.

 

 

 

 

[gta phil gta]

I don't see why this couldn't be implemented; and there'd be no need to contact a mod, as I'm be perfectly willing to lock any topics not in line with the rules, as well as PMing the starter to warn them about it.

 

One thing, however, is that I don't necessarily think it should apply to one-shot pieces. A lot of people here have posted one of these, then another within a few days; why stop them doing this? Of course, with pieces that will rely on instalments, there should be a rule stopping people stopping and starting pieces left right and centre, but there may be exceptions to the rule that kinda have to be taken into account.

[Gabriel Constantin]

Maybe the rule could apply to novels, novellas and installment-based stories; but not short stories and poetry?

[Carbine23]

I don't think that'll work out. That will be an excuse for newer members. They'll write novels and claim them to be short stories, and then they'll add a whole bunch of new chapters. It could work but i think it should apply for everything except maybe poems.
