EXOdicted Posting Guidelines: 2016
These rules are active as of March 20, 2016.
Due to new updates, I feel the need to update the posting guidelines, so they’ll be accurate. Please, everyone, do your very best to follow all of these rules. If we do it right the first time, we won’t have to go back later to tidy up. Without further ado, here are the new 2016 posting rules:
Your post is broken into 4 pieces: Title, Body, Footer, and Labels.
TITLE
Always try to post a complete title in the header. With the new theme, the header line needs to be filled out (at least 3-4 words).
- USE A TITLE TAG
Header tags help readers identify immediately what type of post it is before clicking. Here is the list of title tags for you to choose from. If I post contains multiple types of items, it’s okay to use more than one tag. Write it like : [ENGSUB/DOWNLOAD] or [ENG/DL].

► EXOdicted's Weekly Wrap-Up ◀ - Writer’s Post
BODY
- ONLY POST ORIGINAL MATERIAL *N E W*
From now on, we will not be (re)posting articles from other sites. We did this in the past and have been doing it, but we can’t anymore. If you find something in the news, please do the write up yourself, and credit the source in your tags.
Example:)
Post from other site (let’s pretend this is a whole article):
“This week, Kai from EXO fell through the stage. There was no bad injury reported though. Sources say the accident was caused by a staff mistake.”
^DON’T Copy That ^
What you should write:
“This past Wednesday, fans reported that EXO member Kai had an accident while on stage. There appears to have been an un-closed opening left unattended by concert staff which Kai fell into. No serious injuries were reported.”
- USE HEADER IMAGE
Current Theme: 2016 Theme Header Image Post:
When the new theme is up, this will be updated.
Please post an image in your posts, if they otherwise only include text.
- FANFICTION IS STRICTLY FOR THE FORUM *N E W*
- POST ALL DOWNLOADS/COMPILATION IN THE FORUM *N E W*
Posts that are ENGSUBBED/Fantaken Downloads are to be posted in the forum from now on. So everyone, make an account on the forum (http://forum.exodicted.net/), if haven’t already.
To post Youtube, Daily Motion, Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook Videos:
Go to the post (on the SNS or Streaming Site) where it says 'share' or 'embed'.
Copy that embed code.
Paste it to the "HTML" view of the blogger post.
-OR-
Download the SNS video and upload it on the blog.
FOOTER
**Credit the original place where you found the information. Whether it be one site, or a culmination of twitter and weibo messages, please state where you found your information to write up articles. Don’t copy articles, write them up. Remember please! >.<
You should sign off as:
Credit
Shared/Written/Compiled/Taken/Translated by [Your Name]@EXOdicted.net
TAKE OUT WITH FULL AND PROPER CREDITS. DO NOT HOTLINK!
I think you will find that the new and updated rules will make you feel that your posts have more feeling and quality, since they’re personally penned by you. So please, everyone, let’s all follow the rules!
LABELS
You will find the label bar on the right hand side of the post editor. Remember to choose labels EVERY TIME YOU POST.
A general rule is to only use 3-5 labels per post. It should always include "member name", "type of article", "subject" - - - ex: Kai, Translations, Instagram
A general rule is to only use 3-5 labels per post. It should always include "member name", "type of article", "subject" - - - ex: Kai, Translations, Instagram
Example of a good post with correct tags:
[NEWS] Kai To Film New Drama 'Choco Bank'
labels: Kai, News, Choco Bank, EXO-K
Example of a post with incorrect tags:
[NEWS] Kai To Film New Drama 'Choco Bank'
labels: Kai, Filming, Drama, News, Choco Bank, EXO-K,
- You don't need to tag it with 'filming', it's obvious in the title.
Example of good post with correct tags:
[TRANS] Baekhyun Instagram Update With Yesung
labels: Baekhyun, Instagram, Update, Translations, EXO-K
Example of a post with incorrect or excessive tags:
[TRANS] Baekhyun Instagram Update With Yesung
labels: Baekhyun, Baekstagram, Instagram, Update, EXO-K, Yesung, Super Junior, SJ
*This is a main offender of labels: excessive tags. Or, tags that don't really belong. The purpose of labels is to group everything in smaller (yet large) sub categories. It helps the readers navigate the site easier.
- Baekstagram is cute and all, but it's not appropriate for the labels.
- Yesung: he's cute too, but this is an EXO fan site, not a super junior one. If it were a project or a collaboration done with Yesung, it would be okay. But for SNS updates and such things, it's not necessary.
Posts with missing tags:
[TRANS] Lay Weibo Update
labels: Lay, Translations
- Sure, this could be fine on its own, but it's missing the 'weibo' tag, as well as the 'EXO-M' tag.
General Rules:
-No bashing other groups or SM Entertainment
-No bashing members (current or previous)
-No profanity
-No 18+ content or language
-Don’t post without crediting (if it’s necessary)
