I will start this post with a little ~introduction.
I'm Helen. A lot of you guys probably already recognise me from my posts at asoulenchanted, or maybe have seen me around haunting various other LJ communities with my posts and comments. There really isn't too much of any interested to say about me. I'm English, 24 year old (too old for this crap, y/y?), I have a Media degree (yes, I know, shut up) and am currently jobless, hence why I have just so much free time to dedicate to this stuff. If anyone wants to hit me up and offer me employment as a professional gossip writer and/or Rob's personal sex slave that'd be great though. I suppose I should also mention I am very much a Rob/Kristen shipper and that while I enjoy Twilight enough, I'm a much bigger fan of Rob (and Kristen) in their other roles (and especially Rob when it comes to music).
Now onto the rules. These are the rules for any news/gossip posts that may be made only, rules in regards to other kinds of posts will be coming later via the other mods.
This is obvious but anyway, please keep all posts Rob related. Any gossip relating to the Brit Pack IS allowed however, so feel free to post news on Sam, Marcus, Bobby or Tom. DO NOT post Rob/Kristen shipper related news. This is my domain, so if you find something juicy, feel free to PM it my way and I'll include it in my gossip post. I will generally post just Rob/Kristen gossip but sometimes I may slip the odd Rob or Kristen solo gossip piece in there because that's just how I roll.
Please include a link to your source in your post. The only time I don't do this is when it's something from Lainey Gossip, Ted Casablana or Perez Hilton. These people are pretty well known and including the source tends to include extra hits for them, something we don't want (especially in the case of Perez).
This is in the general rules but I'll say it again: no bashing in your posts. Snark is good but flat out bashing (think name calling etc.) is not cool.
Try and tag all of your entries correctly. I tend to tag after I've submitted the thing (it's easier seeing the list of tags), so it's cool if you want to do it that way, but try and do it within at least a day from the time it was accepted. If the 'news source:' tag you need isn't there simply tag with '!source' and we'll get around to adding it. Needless to add, a 'new source:' tag is needed in every news/gossip post. The 'gossip' tag is also good for well, gossip.
That's it. Have fun bbs, just don't break anything!
