Protect Yourself: Catfishing
Novaer posted a news article in News and Announcements,
Catfishing is nothing new; in fact there was a wave of it happening during the second administration here on EcchiDreams (Illogically Logical's administration ~2009) that gave birth to the recently updated rule under Section 10, Sub-Section 1. This is not a problem unique to EcchiDreams either, not by a long stretch. You can hopefully take the majority of the information and advice here and apply to literally any other platform.

Novaer ,Gallery Policy Changes
Novaer posted a news article in News and Announcements,
As you may have noticed, we have been diligently working on enhancing our gallery policies, striving to make them more robust and less prone to misinterpretation (I will delve into the reasons behind avoiding vague rules later on). With that in mind, we are ready to unveil our most significant gallery policy change since the introduction of the "Character Only" gallery in 2021, which was changed, initially implemented as a measure to conserve disk space. One of the pieces of feedback I received was that this last major change was not properly communicated; which is fair and is why I am going to the length and effort that I am going to now.
I believe in treating our community with honesty and respect, so I want to lay out the situation and the problem on the table and share our proposed solution. We understand that not everyone will be in favour of these changes, but we genuinely value your feedback, criticism, and suggestions. We are committed to listening to you, even if we may not always agree - your voices will be heard.
To read these policy changes and how they may affect you, please click on the article to read more.

Novaer ,Changes to the Terms of Service
Novaer posted a news article in News and Announcements,
If something you posted in the past is in violation of the Terms of Service in the present; you will not be punished for it. The reason being is that we do not retroactively punish people for something that does become a rule that wasn’t when it was posted. We find this expressly unfair and instead will hide it, let the person who posted it know what’s happened and then ask if they’d like us to delete it, or send it back to them.
These changes to the Terms of Service are some of the biggest since the start of my Administration back in 2011, over a decade ago. For a start, officially, sub-sections are now no longer going to be called "Paragraphs", they're sub-sections. Read this for the full list of changes.

Novaer ,What is your advice on how to avoid sounding like a creepy perv when meeting new roleplay partners?
Mini Magi posted a topic in Game Master's Corner,
If you're one of those roleplayers that write sexual content, please participate in this topic to help teach where the creep factor starts to come in!
I HAVE A FEW STARTER QUESTIONS HERE, but if you have anything else to add, please do!
- What are some things you see in interest checks or request threads that throw up the creep red flag for you?
- When you're chatting with a potential new partner, what are some comments or questions that start to make you uncomfortable?
- What is your advice for the perfect way to approach a new partner without sounding creepy?
- What are some things that bother you, but you don't think bothers other people?
- Do you think flirting out of character with your partner is appropriate?
- Say you have had a partner for a long time, but suddenly their behavior started to creep you out. What started it and how do you think it could've been avoided?
SPECIAL NOTES: This topic is absolutely going to draw on personal experiences. Make sure you don't name any names, or call someone on ED out. The goal is to try teach each other and learn, so please keep it polite!

Novaer ,Minorikawa's Journals
Minorikawa posted a topic in Creative Corner,
Note that I don't enjoy roleplaying as the opposite sex, largely because I'm never sure I'm doing it right. However, I find it more interesting for my solo stories to try and get into the head of the female character, to experience the world through her eyes. So, don't be surprised if many of the focal point characters are women instead of men. In addition, feel free to provide feedback in this thread. Comment, critique, what have you.

Novaer ,Administrator Rambles: Some things that need to be said
Novaer posted a news article in News and Announcements,
This probably isn't going to age well, because I think with what's going on in the world right now, we're experiencing some very frayed mental states after being locked down for so long and having lives changed because of pandemic. Now; I realise that this is an extreme minority of people that is causing the majority of the problems, so if you're just trying to do your thing, then please carry on, and I am sorry that this post was necessary. Who knows, this post might have absolutely no meaning in a years time and we'll all look back on it and say "Ah yes, that was a bit of an embarrassing period, oh how we've gotten better since then. I don't even know why I hated X." Ha. One can hope...

Novaer ,EcchiDreams Newsletter April 2020
Novaer posted a news article in News and Announcements,
Before I get stuck into this, there's an apology in order. I'm sorry that the last update news was way back in March of last year. I assure you that this isn't intentional, and we've not really gone anywhere either. We're still as busy as ever. But I'm going to try harder to keep everyone in the loop about everything that is going on here. I've decided to present these as newsletters, that I want to start releasing more frequently perhaps, I don't know. It's a new format I'm trying out. Click the article link to read more...

Eros Angel posted a topic in Creative Corner,
"So you've known Karen since she was a girl?" Cammille asked the farm girl while she lit a joint, carefully rolled to look like a cigarette to passing cops, as she pulled out of the farm girl's dirt driveway and out onto Route 39.
The farm girl, Sammy, nodded but didn't say anything, neither answering Cammille nor commenting as pot smoke slowly filled the old silver Honda Civic.
Cammille, everything about her appearance, manner, and possessions New York chic except her car, stared at the woman for a long moment but noted how she seemed to keep her eyes downcast and away from her own...

Novaer ,Dreamers of EcchiDreams: We need to talk...
Novaer posted a news article in News and Announcements,
I've been trying to put this off for quite some time now, however I've recently had it made clear to me under no and uncertain terms that I cannot put it off. This is something I didn't want to talk about, and I had hoped that citizens subjects in the United Kingdom would have raised their voices and told the Government to go fuck themselves, but apparently that's not going to happen and now we (as an industry) have to deal with it.
