1 ❝ Constructive Criticism Nobody enjoys negative comments towards their work, especially ones that lack elaboration! Ask before giving criticism, and be respectful! 2 ❝ Trigger Warnings Of course, as a writer, sometimes your stories can end up dark or uncomfortable in some way. If talking about unpleasant or triggering content, add a trigger warning. This does not apply to comments, only works, but you may use trigger warnings in the discussion side as well if you wish! Trigger Warning List ~ https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1368296440/ 3 ❝ Venting Given this is also a hangout space, here in Writer's Palace one can say most of what is on their mind, including if that thought is a vent. However, this website is for children, please seek professional help if you are greatly struggling. Also, do not discuss self-destructive behaviours in general. The palace is not a hotline, and it is a space for minors, just as Scratch is. 4 ❝ Bypassing Do not bypass the Scratch filter. Do not encode comments. This includes Morse Code and other languages. 5 ❝ Promoting Do not ask to be promoted to manager. Apply to be manager if applications are open. Ask to be promoted to curator in the comments or on a manager's profile. 6 ❝ Discourse Do not involve the entire studio when talking about drama. Keep it contained to one thread. Once said thread is filled, the discussion is over. 7 ❝ Trolls and Spammers Do not link or interact with trolls, spammers, ragebaiters, sockpuppets, etc. You may talk about them to fellow members of the studio, but please report their comments. 8 ❝ Adding Projects Only add writing related projects or projects related to the studio. OCs, writing, etc. are allowed! 2 ❝ Typing Quirks Typing quirks are allowed, however, things such as fonts are not. You can write with an accent, symbols, etc., but do not use a font. While it is preferred you use screenreader-safe symbols, it's no harsh feelings if you don't. This may change.
