What is The Young Writers Club about?

Well, writing! A forum for writing by young people. Don't be shy, share
your work, and get honest feedback on it. Make friends.

Rules
These are the rules of the forum. If you break a rule more than once, you will get a warning. If you get 5 warnings, you will be banned.

1. Be civil to your fellow posters. No flaming or baiting. No harrassing other members though the forum or PMs. If you don't like someone's work, state why. Give constructive criticism.

2. Swearing is not acceptable, unless part of an appropriately rated story.

3. No spamming--such as posts that have no obvious purpose.

4 Post topics in the correct forum for the subject. Look at the forum descriptions to get an idea of where it might go.

6. No more than one account.

7. Do not insult other forums.

8. Do not post pornography, warez, or any copyrighted materials you do not have the right to.

9. No goodbye posts. If you wish to notify a member of your leaving, contact them privately.

Why do you have so many rules?

The rules are here so that the forum can be an enjoyable place for all members. By signing up, you agree to follow the rules.

What if I see a post breaking the rules?/What if someone harasses me over PMs?

If you see a bad post, click the "Report" button on the right-hand side above a post. Tell us why that post is breaking the rules, a staff member will be notified, and the situation will be dealt with. Do not reply to posts made to antagonize.

If someone is sending you bad PMs, forward the PM to a staff member. Do not reply, the staff will handle it for you.

What are ranks, and how do I get them?

Ranks are those little boxes under your name, called pips, and a title
underneath it. When you reach a certain amout of posts, you
automatically gain one pip, and a different title. These are the
different ranks:

Rank: Minimum posts needed:
New Member 0
Junior Member 10
Member 20
Senior Member 50
Obsessed Member 100

How do I use the spell check?

Over your post, there is a box called "Code Buttons", click the button "Spell Check".

It may not work because:
  • You do not have Microsoft Word
    Many computers come with it, but if yours doesn't, you can buy it at some stores.
  • You do not have ActiveX enabled
    On your computer, go to: Tools, then to Internet Options - Security - Custom Level - Run ActiveX Controls and Plugins -Enable (this may not work on all computers)

I still need help!

PM a staff member, or e-mail me at kleeATsraf.org. (remove the AT and replace it with a @ symbol)

Or, if you have general questions about how the board works, click on the "Help" button under the banner.
