Webmaster/moderators
Moderators have to check the tutorial! There are a few rules for tutorials:
RULES FOR TUTORIALS:
A tutorial...
-must contain instructions on how to make crafting related to friendship bracelets or it needs to be related to the site.
-needs to be written in proper english.
-must not contain objectionable material.
-must not be used as a public image dump.
-must not be like a gallery of personal photos.
-is in the wiki format, built by EVERYONE on the site (everyone can edit it). Therefore, a tutorial should not be formulated as made by one user only.
-should have a short but describing title, containing relevant keywords. It may not contain usernames, excessive/strange characters or begin with a special characters just to get higher up in the tutorial list.
-Should be unique. If there are two similar tutorials, they should be merged.
Hope this makes sense to you.
