- Remain on-topic. Worldbuilding contains many areas of interest, so, when in doubt, explain how your contribution fits within worldbuilding.
- Give context in the comments of your post. This will help your audience engage with your creation and encourage interaction.
- Tag posts as NSFW if they contain images or discussion of extreme violence or explicit sexuality.
