Mod Update
Please put the full name of the character in the character fields. For Eastern names, family name first, given name second is preferred, though if anyone messes that up, don't worry too much about it, I will check to make sure I'm not duplicating entries.
Indexing the characters is a fairly manageable task and is creating a comm that allows RPers to find icons by character. Indexing the characters when I have to google every single one of them in a post by first name to try to find the full name is not manageable and a little unreasonable to expect of a comm that is as organized as this. I feel it's reasonable to ask posters to take a second to put the last name of characters on their posts, especially since doing otherwise might mean I google and accidentally use the wrong name.
A note asking for the full names of the characters is already in the rules and has been so I'm going to take this a step more draconian because unfortunately I've had recurring issues with people not follow the rules and posting format. I've changed the rules to make all the requirements and consequences for not following them more clear.
Here are the amended rules under the cut:
6. FOLLOW THE POSTING FORMAT.
Any posts that don't include the template or are missing important info (like full character names) will be deleted without warning. Posts without cut tags will be deleted without warning so make sure you have your icons under a cut. (You'll only receive warning if the html is borked and it's clear you tried to cut it). Posts that don't obey the limits for how many icons are outside the cut will be deleted without warning. The posting format is needed for multiple things, like making the comm easily readable, making it easier to search for icons, making it easier for the mod to index posts for the memories, etc. so the mod will be pretty strict about it.
Also, please limit posts to five characters perdwrp_icons post as this is the limit of how many characters can be indexed using the Memories. Posts that go over the limit will not be deleted but they will not be indexed by character.
7. IF YOU ARE THE FIRST TO POST FOR A FANDOM REQUEST A FANDOM TAG.
If you do not request a new fandom tag, the post will go untagged and the mod will not index the characters in the memories. Effectively making the post impossible to find by anyone looking.
You do not have to request characters be added to the memories, the mod will sweep the comm twice a week to handle adding posts to character entries in the Memories. (That's why it's important to include info like character names in your header). But new fandom tags will need a request in the comments below. [[In the info post, not here, this is just the wording of the rule]]
