lurking

- Unleashing your feelings of love and rage about artists and their labels is the reason we’re all here. Personal attacks against other members via taking it to their personal journal, Myspace, Facebook, etc. is unacceptable and will get you banned.

- However, people are allowed to comment about the things you have posted in your profile. If you feel things are starting to get out of hand, notify one of the mods.

- Deleting comments is cowardly and immature. Doing so will get you banned. If you can’t take the heat, don’t comment.

- Racism, homophobia, sexism, or discrimination of any kind is unacceptable and will get you instantly banned.

- Commenting is a member privilege only.

- “Who?” comments can easily be solved with Wikipedia. If that doesn’t work, try JaME. If that doesn’t work, then feel free to ask “Who?”

- Your icons need to be work safe. Plenty of members view their Livejournals at work, school, etc. Please use common sense.

- “Posted” comments are wonderful the first time. Nobody needs or wants to read it a hundred times. We get it. If something's been posted already, it's not necessary for 30 people to tell us.

- Wank Wars. If you can't handle wank, then don't comment. Please keep in mind that any comment you make in the community can potentially make you a target for trolls and stans. You have one of two options: 1) ignore them or 2) throw down.


posting

- This is a news/information/gossip community.

- All posts are moderated.

- Please check the community tag list before you add your tags. If you feel a new tag is necessary, please ask.

- Before making a submission, please double check that it hasn’t been posted already.

- No hotlinking!

- Provide a legitimate source and include a full and direct URL.

- YouTube videos do not require source links because all videos come with direct links in the embed.

- All articles and text have to be in English. Japanese or other foreign text may be included under a cut.

- You are allowed to post news and info from any jrock band that you wish. Other people are allowed to post their assenting and/or dissenting opinions in your posts. Be prepared. Not everyone will like your favorite band.

- You may post wank within various band fandoms. We might be a news community, but that doesn't mean we're above posting trash either.

- Do NOT submit Japanese articles to ask for a translation!

- Quality fan translations of articles, lyrics, etc. may be submitted provided you give the translator credit (personally, I don’t care if you have their permission or not).

- If posting magazine scans, credit the scanner. I'm not going to ask if you have their permission or not.

- Posts containing downloadable rips of albums, songs, videos, etc. will not be approved; this is not a filesharing community. YouTube samples/videos are acceptable. What you guys share in the comments is your business.

- Try to keep things current. Only recent articles, photos, videos, audio clips, etc. will be accepted. A photoshoot of X Japan from 1987 is not relevant in 2009.

- Personal encounters with artists are acceptable. If you can, please provide pics to keep it interesting. Try to keep the fangirlish squeeing to a minimum or you risk opening yourself up to getting made fun of.

- DO NOT link posts to another journal or to an outside site!

- Live Reviews. Fan written reviews of concerts are acceptable as long as they are well-written and entertaining to read. Pictures are optional but always nice... however, if your ONLY pictures are of you and your friends sitting outside then don't bother.

- No cosplay submissions will be accepted unless it's for an official band or label sponsored contest.

- Icons, layouts, etc. submissions will not be approved.

- Do not submit fan fiction. DO NOT SUBMIT FAN FICTION! If you do I will approve the post along with my own commentary thrown in. You don’t want that.

- When submitting news about new releases, please keep all versions of the single/album/DVD/etc. in the same post. Single versions A-F do not need their own posts.

- Blog entries will only be accepted if the blog reveals something exciting.

- Feel free to write up and submit your own reviews of albums/singles/DVDs/products,etc. provided they are well-written and objective.

- If you are posting videos or audio clips, please keep it current and provide a summary. Translations are not required for video and audio. DO NOT SET THEM ON AUTO PLAY!

- Things that are unnecessary:
- “Please delete if already posted/not allowed”. Don’t worry, we will.
- Intro posts. Don't bother.
- Spam. Excessive violation could get you banned.
- Comm Promotions. Unless with permission from mods.
- Weaboo Slang. Keep your KAWAIIs and SANKYUs out of the original posts.

- Feel free to add entertaining and intelligent commentary to entries.

About Fan Translations
First of all, if you don’t speak English comfortably enough to maintain a conversation then you have no business translating a Japanese article into something that an English-speaking audience can understand. We shouldn’t have to sit here for thirty minutes trying to figure out what the translated article is trying to convey.

Just because you've taken Japanese 101 does NOT mean that you're an expert and that you are fluent enough to translate an entire article. We can tell if you don't speak the language very well, trust me.

Fan translations don't have to be perfect, but they should be readable by a general audience.

DO NOT RUN THE ARTICLES THROUGH AN INTERNET TRANSLATION SITE!

Another thing, I don’t care if you have the translator’s blessing to submit translated articles/lyrics,etc. I won’t ask you if you have their permission. Unless they've obtained rights to the band, the journalist, the photographer, the label, or the magazine, their arguments about their "copyrighted LJ material" are invalid. Post away!

On that note, it is pretty rude to just throw their work around without even giving them a head’s up. Always give them credit.

Translators, on a case by case basis, I may take down your translations if you request.

About Fan Reviews
Live reviews are great… when they come with pictures (of the band, the venue, the stage, the crowd, etc.). Pictures of the performance are not necessary but they’re always a plus. If all you have are pictures of yourself at the event, leave them out. Nobody is reading the review to see who you are. More importantly, by posting pictures of yourself you are potentially opening yourself up to a lot of harsh, unwanted criticism by other fans.

Please write clear, concise, and objective reviews. Most of us are not interested in how cute Ruki-sama looked standing up on stage or how you want to squeeze Hiroppon’s cheeks or how you could see Takeru’s dimples from the back of the venue IF THAT IS ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT ABOUT THE EVENT. Obnoxious, overly-fangirlish live reviews will be rejected.

Any submissions containing excessive weaboo slang will be rejected.


bitching

- “So and so is being a big meanie!” Boo hoo. Pop me an email with a link to the thread and I’ll investigate. Use caution though, because if I see you were being a jerk too I’ll just ignore it or ban all parties involved.

- “So and so said mean things about my favorite artist, BAWWWWW!” Cry moar.

- Any questions, concerns, hate mail, love mail, "why am I banned?" discussions, monetary donations, or legal threats should be sent to bplzjrock@hotmail.com.

- If you bring any of your community business to MY personal journal (or any of the other mods' personal journals), I will be pissed. The punishment for doing this will depend on our moods and the position of the moon that night.

PLEASE CHECK THE COMM RULES REGULARLY FOR UPDATES!!!!!
