Post items for the Station News tab here (July '08 - Sept '08)

Jul 08, 2008 Whistler link
The Station News (SN) is a news outlet that gathers serious news items from the far reaches of the VO universe and publishes them electronically for retrieval using the PDA.

If you have items that are newsworthy, please post them here. They will be checked for content and, if approved, they will be posted in the Station News. .

A few examples of news worthy items:
-Announcement of live RP events.
-Results of live RP events.
-Major guild transactions.
-Recruitment drives.
-Player guild announcements.
***This is an incomplete list. The guide is the final arbiter of what is appropriate

A few examples of items that won't be posted:
-Personal ads.
-Overly personal attacks (mild faction/guild bias is permitted in RP posts).
-Satire / humor.
-Items which clearly conflict with the back-story.
-Items which may result in confusion (i.e. stories of ships or add-ons that do not exist).
-Overly inflammatory items.
***This is an incomplete list. The guide is the final arbiter of what is inappropriate.

Submission guidelines:
-Maximum 30 lines (excludes publishing instructions).
-Images cannot be displayed.
-The starting times for events should use Greenwich Mean Time to avoid time zone confusion. Use /time in game to see the current GMT.

Please include the following information:
-Subject.
-Organization responsible for the post:
-Which Factions should see the post: we can set it so you have to be liked by a faction to see the post (Serco, Itani, UIT)
-Relevant dates/times.
-Text.

The guides reserve the right to edit the posts before adding them to the station news.

The guides reserve the right to request that, in the case of semi-editorial content, the actual individual being "quoted" or described post their appoval within this thread.

Posts that are submitted without the proper information will experience processing delays.

Please use vendetta_news (at) yahoo (dot) com for sending newsposts if you want them to be a surprise.
If you have sent a post to the e-mail address please either post here or let a guide know in game to go and check the account. Sometimes we get busy and don't check it every day.

Housekeeping: We'll be locking and unpinning the old thread after 3 months and starting a fresh, shiny new thread. This way these guidelines won't be buried so deeply, and we'll have a searchable record of items submitted for publishing.

Done!
