instagram rules rules




applications
- Please make sure that the date on your friends only is roughly the same date as your application, and that your journal isn't marked more than 3 weeks.

- Screennames aren't required, however please indicate in your application that you prefer customs. If you are open to both, let us know whether you prefer one more than the other. No judgment, we'd just like everyone to be aware of whose style of roleplay fits with their own!

- If you are applying to override, let us know why/what to check for. You can comment the dropbox and ask us to check if a role is overrideable at any time.

- If you are re-applying after being removed, we won't re-admit you without a placeholder or update (whichever you were due for). If you were removed 6+ weeks ago, you can apply with examples again.

- once you are added, please post an introduction to hipsters within 5 days and reply to the majority of comments or you can be overridden. We will take these overrides on a case-to-case basis.

updates & activity
- our update limit is 3 weeks, with no backdating or disabled comments permitted.

- Every other update (including your first) can be a placeholder of your choosing, but for the following update (about every 6 weeks) we require at least 200 original words in whichever format you choose. Privated birthday posts can act as placeholders but don't count as updates.

- Please reply to the majority of your comments in a timely manner or you may be overridden, also on a case-to-case basis.

- Please also keep your friends list up-to-date. You can be overridden if you haven't added anyone new for 2 weeks.

- Hiatuses are no longer than 6 weeks at a time. Extensions will be offered for 3 days max. Please ask in advance. Both hiatuses and extensions will be handled (once more!) on a case-to-case basis.

misc.
- we are not cool with the following things: line crossing, harassment, bigotry, plagiarism, stalking, trolling, anonymous comments, and generally being creepy. as a fellowship of mods, we plan to use common sense and foster a spirit of positivity and creativity whenever possible. if someone is getting in the way of your experience, please tell us.

- We reserve the right to evolve these rules, and we are open to feedback at all times. If something isn't working for you, we want to know. This place is completely dependent on whether people care about writing and try for the right reasons, and whatever we can do to help inspire you is important to us.
