All members are expected to meet their deadlines You are expected to turn in your recordings on time, unless there is an emergency. Do NOT sign up for every project you see, and if you plan on signing up for more than one at a time, be sure you can meet the deadlines. If you need an extension let us know ahead of time so we aren't guessing what to do with your part (whether its assign covers or wait). We understand that school and real life will always hold a priority over AK, and unexpect things happen, but please do manage your time wisely, as best as possible anyway. 02. Refrain from part hogging Yes I know, some of you may have a favourite member of a band that you may always want to claim. Or you find yourself wanting to grab the part with the most lines. Sometimes is okay. All the time is not appreciated. Give other members a chance with main parts too. aka do not part hog! 03. Remain mature at all times That's not to say we can't have fun here. But please no drama or fights among members. There will be consequences. There is no need to be rude to each other. Also please refrain from unnessary bashing. Critique is okay, out right flaming is not. 04. Keep a positive and friendly attitude "It's not your voice I'm worried about, but your attitude. We would rather work with a very nice girl who doesn't have a good voice than a snobbish girl who has the voice of an angel." - Quoted from Miri @ SnM. I have the exact same sentiments girls~ Also we are here for FUN, no need to be super serious about how good or bad any one person is. 05. We're open to everyone and anyone! That's right; everyone is guaranteed a spot at Asian Karaoke so long you are willing to participate! However, do not take the no-auditions required rule so easy; you are still held accountable for the responsibilities you are agreeing to when you sign up at the forum! 06. Be an active and involved member Once you have registered, head to the member affairs/randomness forum to meet your fellow members, and get started signing up and working on some releases! 07. NEW RULE: Song sign up limitations from now on, each member is only allowed to sign up for 10 songs at a time. thats right i said 10. This is to better organize AK as a whole. We hope by implementing this rule we can cut back on late lines and extensions and meet deadlines easier than before. We also hope this will bring around more newbies to the projects and they wont be as intimidated by us. Because I'm sure seeing all the regular members as signup-ninjas can be quite the turn off in terms of fighting for a spot in the project; so this gives EVERYONE a change to sign up, yes? -How does this work and how will the mods know if I'm cheating (singing up for 10+ songs) or not? from now own each member is to post their "to-do list" in the new Member To-Do List section (which I will open) and list the current projects and songs you are in. At random, the mods will be checking and double checking to make sure no one is going overboard. "But Kristy!" you cry, "THERES A NEW SIGNUP THAT I REALLY WANNA JOIN YO BUT IM AT MY LIMIT BAWW!" simple solution, record one of the 10 songs in your list and submit it, then you are free to go for another song. or if you ask nicely, and we are in a good mood we will allow you ONE extra song so long as you promise to get one songs off your list finished within 24 hours, thats your grace period, if after 48hours you still have not handed in any lines we will kick you off that extra project without warning. and no shrugging of the shoulders at this, because there WILL be penaltys, including that little warn level below your user names, which could lead to sign-up suspensions in the future, or if we catch you with more than 10 songs, we, as the mods have the right to kick you out of any song we wish as penalty. but we know you girls wont lie/cheat us, cause you love us, as we love you. but please note this is for the sake of the community and organization of the releases and projects<3 in summary what this basically means is from now on think carefully about the songs you sign up for before doing so~ Posting Rules 01. No spamming Please refrain from posting useless replies one after another, especially if they're not contributing to the topic at hand. Also please try to write more than one or two words each post, I will be able to tell if you are just looking for a higher post count 02. No Sexual content I will allow mature discussions so long they're handled tastefully, but I will NOT allow anything porn related or offensive on this site. I will definitely not allow any graphic content (ie- images/video/text). Ignore this rule and consider yourself banned without question. 03. Profanity Mature language is allowed, however if any mature language is EVER used to offend/hurt a fellow user or directed at them in an offending way, it's gone and will be replaced with silly censors. If I still continue to see a porblem there will be user concequences (ie-probation or banned). However the Admins are known to use vulgar language in everyday conversation. This is the year 2009, sex/violence/cursing is in nearly every movie and every tv show now adays. If you dont like mature language or mature humour I suggest you avoid the randomness thread, or maybe leave if your really offended with everyday use, but sadly its unavoidable here.

-bye bye- Posts: 606 Group: Graduated Member #46 Joined: December 28, 2008	Sorry for acting noobish but, aside from these general rules, are there limits for signature sizes or anything of the sort? I was wondering if there are xxxpx by xxxpx limits for sigs. D: Oh, and another question, are we allowed to post recordings of covers that are already done? I mean, not only ones already posted by fellow members, but also recordings already "recorded" before making a post to the forum? Is that thing allowed? And if it is, where are we allowed to post the release? (I don't think we're allowed to just post anywhere in the "Releases" part of the forum, if I'm not wrong? Please enlighten me. Gomen >____<)

-bye bye- Posts: 606 Group: Graduated Member #46 Joined: December 28, 2008	I've another question, Admin-san. XD Um, are we allowed to start a thread exclusive to a certain language? Where we can speak our native tongue? For example: The Filipino Thread, and open it at the Randomness part of the AK forums?
