I'm going to be adding a random tips line to the top of every page; stuff like "The more you review, the more your work will be reviewed," and "Saving your post as a draft allows you to edit it later. You can find your drafts by going to My YWS."

Any other tips?

"People who cross Big Brother tend to disappear."

.. :mrgreen:

Or what about, "Be sure to read up on the FAQ's if you're a new member. People will like you better."

Except phrase it non-lamely. *nods*

"Read. A lot."
"He yanked himself free and fled to the kitchen where something huddled against the flooded windowpanes. It sighed and wept and tapped continually, and suddenly he was outside, staring in, the rain beating, the wind chilling him, and all the candle darkness inside lost."

Do not use chat-speak. Chat-speak is annoying and makes certain people's brains implode.

"We know its hard, but at least try to act mature. Its good for the health of everyone."
Without sensibility no object would be given to us, without understanding no object would be thought. Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind.
