First, if you are going to post in this forum and do not know how to type in Japanese, please visit this link: http://www.autopenhosting.org/unicode/type-Japanese.html

Actually, visit the link even if you already know how, as there are some good tips there. I learned some things even though I'd been typing in Japanese for years already.

Also, if you plan on typing in Japanese AND English on posts, you may want to consider typing the English in white text, so that our eyes won't be drawn directly to the English, and we'll be able to only consult it when necessary. Makes practice easier in this forum.

Next, it never occurred to me that I would need to make a rules thread, because I'm trying to keep this guild pretty casual. But I want to mention 2 things that will get your posts deleted:

1) If the thread title says no English, then that thread will contain no Englsih. If you make a post in English, it will be deleted. It's for the advanced people here, so if you can't keep up, you're better off in another thread.

2) This is a little trickier. One of the main purposes of this forum is for practice. Mostly, we are learners, and I, for one, want to be corrected when I say something wrong / awkward. As a ground rule, please don't take offense when your Japanese is corrected by another. They mean well. On the other hand, flaming or making fun of novices will not be tolerated.

Thank you. I may add more as I see necessary.
