Post Quality Policy

Created by Captain Isaac Rhodes on Mon Jul 11th, 2022 @ 8:44pm

Policy

Quality, more so than quantity, is what we value in our writing. We would rather see one well-written post that furthers the storyline or deepens our understanding of a character than four rapid-fire posts written just to meet some arbitrary quota.

Personal logs should be a minimum of two-hundred (200) words long. That’s roughly three paragraphs (or two, if one is of decent size).

Mission posts should be a minimum of four-hundred (400) words long – about four or five paragraphs.

For players working on a joint post (JP) with others, it is expected that responses be of significant length to be of some worth.

Disciplinary Action

Failure to consistently meet post quality requirements will result in a conversation with a member of the command staff.

Attempts will be made by the command staff to work with the player to improve their post quality. If this proves insufficient, the player may be required to complete the Pegasus Fleet cadet academy course.

Although extremely rare, players who still do not meet post quality expectations after all other measures have been exhausted may be removed from the sim.

It is possible for individuals who have been removed for quality issues to be reinstated. However, they must discuss the matter with the commanding officer and commit to a plan of action that will work toward meeting the quality requirements.

Follow-Up

Questions, comments, and concerns are always welcomed and should be directed to a member of the command staff via private message or email.

Modification and enforcement of this policy is at the discretion of the commanding officer.
