Not all posts are factored into your eligibility. Valid posts must include replies to other people or comments starting/contributing to a discussion. Posts consisting solely of the following will be ignored. Please understand, due to various factors, everyone isn't available for this service. If you are turned down now, you may be eligible at a later time.
- Top Ten spots, survey questions and answers.
- Questions asking when any series begins or episode airs, and requests for a series to be brought back on the air.
- Posts similar to journals and diaries.
- Announcements of website updates or new material, and requests for people to visit websites, read literature and view artwork.
- Spoilers of shows, fanfic, series, movies, music, books, etc.
Submitting & Editing Data:
Please keep the following in mind when submitting new profiles and revising existing ones.
- Limit one profile per person not personae. Exceptions may be granted on an individual basis.
- Please read and follow the directions stated for each form field.
- To speed up the eligibility confirmation process, please include the date/time of your first post.
- When revising an existing profile:
- Please fill out all required fields and the fields to be changed. Empty fields will not affect existing profile data.
- Check "Erase" to remove published content without replacing the data. This will create an "Unspecified" answer in your profile.
- Please fill out all required fields and the fields to be changed. Empty fields will not affect existing profile data.
- It is the member's responsibility to keep his/her profile content up to date.
- Any data you enter will be published, with the exception of your password and your email address (unless otherwise specified).
- Don't enter anything you don't want others to know.
- Please be brief and keep content rated PG-13.
- Entries may be edited due to misuse or inappropriate content. (Please note that this is extremely rare and only occurs when absolutely necessary.)
Processing New Submissions:
After the CR Info Admin receives your new profile submission, he/she will notify you within 2 weeks of the receipt and inform you of your eligibility status. If you are not eligible, the admin will inform you of this and suggest you try again at a later date. If you are eligible, the admin will analyze the data for inappropriate content, edit content (not spelling/grammar) where necessary, then email you confirming your eligibility, along with a text-based rough draft of your profile. After you approve the content, the admin will create your profile page and notify you via email of the published page, including its URL.
Processing Revisions:
After the CR Info Admin receives data to revise your existing profile, he/she will notify you within 2 weeks of the receipt. The data will then be analyzed for inappropriate content and edited where necessary (not spelling/grammar). If no editing was required, the admin will directly update your profile page without emailing a draft. However, if your data required editing or if you requested a draft to be sent before publication, the admin will email you a text-based rough draft of your revised profile, which will require your approval before your online profile page is updated. The CR Info Admin will notify you via email once your online profile page is revised.
Receipt Confirmation:
If the CR Info Admin hasn't contacted you within 2 weeks from the time you submitted data, please email him/her to see if he/she received your submission. The admin may have received it but been too busy to work on your application/account. However, if the admin didn't receive your submission, please re-send data and wait 2 weeks for a reply.
Deletion:
Once a profile is added to the list it will not be removed unless necessary, as dictated by the situation in question. Profiles will remain archived, no matter the recent degree of attendance in the forum, so that people reading the CR Archives can learn more about the people behind the posts. A profile can also be deleted upon the request of the owner. Send all requests to the CR Info Admin.
Malfuctions:
If you are having trouble with the submission form, please send your submissions via email with the necessary information to the CR Info Admin. Please notify the admin directly via email or in the CR of any page or submission form malfunctions.
Requests & Concerns:
Please notify the CR Info Admin PRIVATELY through email of any problems or concerns with published data. Send all other requests to the admin via email or post them directly to him/her in the CR. Please follow the instructions for sending requests and concerns.
