Can I Post Here?

Every forum has unique ways it runs, and it's unrealistic to expect that people will just intuitively know how a given site works. So we wanted to provide some guidance on how the system at Camp Half-Blood RP works. 

Where Can I Post?

Starting a Thread: In general, if you can start a thread there, you're allowed to start a thread there. Posting permissions are managed on the back end through the administrative panel. So if the staff didn't want you creating threads there, they would be able to prevent that through posting permissions. So if you are able to create a thread there, meaning that the site lets you, you're absolutely allowed.

  • Caveat: Only people with the "New Camper" group or a Cabin Leader should be starting threads in the "New Camper Entrances" section of "The Big House". 

Replying to a Thread: This gets a little more complicated. Because we want to both create an environment where our writers feel safe, but also encourage people to interact with everyone and not just a small group, we've created the tagging system. This will be explained below, in a table, that indicates the tags, what they mean, and so on. But the general rule is that unless it says "Open" or "Site Plot Related", you should not be replying to a thread that you were not invited to.

Tags/Prefixes. What do they mean?

We get it. There's a lot of them, and they may not be as clear as we would like. Below is a list of tags/prefixes and what they are used for.
 
Tag/Prefix Description
New Camper This is exclusive to the "New Camper Entrances" section of "The Big House" and should only be posted in by that New Camper who created it and a Cabin Leader. This is, in part, to ensure that any lore-based questions are answered in-line with site expectations.
In Progress... This is primarily used to indicate applications that are still being worked on (or sometimes site information threads that the staff are still working on). Nobody should be posting in threads with this except the person who made the thread or Staff.
Last Week Warning This is primarily used to indicate applications that appear to have gone inactive. Nobody should be posting in threads with this except the person who made the thread or Staff.
Ready for Review This is only used to indicate applications that are complete and ready for Staff to review. Nobody should be posting/editing in threads with this tag.
Under Review This is only used to indicate applications that are complete and Staff is currently reviewing. Nobody should be posting/editing in threads with this tag except Staff.
Approved This is only used to indicate applications that are complete and have been approved by Staff. Nobody should be posting/editing in threads with this tag except Staff.
Pending This is only used to indicate applications that require some modification after being reviewed. Nobody should be posting in threads with this except the person who made the thread or Staff.
Denied This is only used to indicate applications that Staff have deemed inappropriate for the site. Nobody should be posting in threads with this tag/prefix.
Reactivated Account This is only used to indicate applications that have been reactivated by Staff after a period of hiatus. Nobody should be posting in threads with this tag/prefix except Staff.
Advertisement This is only used in the Out of Character section for Advertisements. Anyone may post in those threads, however, any comments bashing an advertised site will be removed and members given warnings.
Contest This is only used for site-based contests. Anyone may post in those threads, however, please keep posts on topic!
Important This is only used for indicating important site information. Only Staff may post, but EVERYONE should read that information.
Inactive This is only used for indicating an inactive member's application. Only Staff may post in these threads, but they will usually be archived and not replied to.
Mature This is used to indicate that a thread contains mature themes including extreme violence, gore, sex, and several other topics. Only those invited by the original poster and the original poster should be posting in these threads.
Personal Plot Related This is used to indicate that a thread contains events relevant to a character's personal plot (a plot approved by the Staff that may involve several characters or NPCs from the site). Only those invited by the original poster and the original poster should be posting in these threads.
No Tag/Prefix This is a roleplay between characters on site that didn't require a tag or prefix, but is still considered a 'closed' RP. Only those invited by the original poster and the original poster should be posting in these threads.
Open This is used to indicate that a thread that is open for anyone and everyone to join. Any character may join these threads, and you are encouraged to participate if you want!
Site Plot Related This is used to indicate that a thread that is related to the site plot directly and is open for characters impacted by the current plot event to join. The Site News will indicate which characters are welcome to jump into the threads and how they will be working.
Ready to Archive This is used to indicate that a thread has reached completion. Nobody should be posting in these threads.
Resource This is used to indicate that the contents are a resource for the site and are free for members to use. Questions may be posted in the thread.
Retired Character This is used to indicate that character is no longer being played on the site. Nobody should be posting in these threads.
