Community Profile

Welcome to The egl Community! Please make sure you understand all the rules before posting! Our mission is help others share, grow, and learn in the Lolita fashion. The community discussions focus on Japanese Lolita fashion and its manifestations the world over. We hope you will enjoy browsing our community! <3

1. Please keep all posts on topic.
   Keep posts relevant to the topic of Elegant Gothic and Lolita fashion. Please read the FAQ, check the memories and the tags before you ask a question, you may find others have asked it before. In addition, you may also want to check out lolita_handbook to answer any other questions you might still have.

Please note that this is not a western Gothic fashion community. If that's what you're looking for, visit gothfash!</li>


2. Please be courteous to other members.
   Be polite in offering constructive criticism and respect the wishes of those who ask for constructive criticism. Berating macros and hurtful comments will result in a warning or ban. Please do not post about any off-site drama, inflammatory off topic ranting, or moderation issues. If the latter arises, please contact a moderator or admin directly. If something related to egl occurs off-site, please refer to this guide detailing what you can do yourself or with the help of LJ abuse to better handle the situation. Posts containing explicit nudity, blatant pornography or profuse obscenities will be deleted without warning.



3. You must be a member of the community to post and comment.
   Comments from non-members are automatically screened. Please join the community in the top right of the profile page.



4. Images larger than 500x800 pixels must be placed under a cut, and please, no hotlinking!
   Not everyone has a high-speed internet connection. Additionally, the layout of egl will not retain its intended shape if images above 500x800 pixels are posted. Please place all larger images, and any image after the first, behind a lj cut. Images, including artwork, should be of good visual quality. Images should not be hotlinked. This community is large enough to take down a website with low bandwidth if an image is linked from that site. If you wish to display an image in your post from another website, please use your own webspace to do so. There are various free photo-hosting websites available if you need them.



5. Explicit content posts must be placed completely under a cut and bear a "NSFW/18+" disclaimer above the cut.
   Images and content cannot contain minors in suggestive positions or in any state of undress. This community does not advocate child pornography, and so unless you can prove that people in extremely suggestive images are over 18, please do not post said images. People depicted in suggestive artwork should be clearly post-pubescent. All images should be generally work safe, and if in question, should be placed under a cut with a NSFW warning. In general, if a person in an image would be arrested if they walked around outside in what they have on, you shouldn't post it. The moderators of this community withhold the right to delete, without warning, any post they find inappropriate.



6. Sales posts, auctions, and 'Want to Buys' are no longer allowed on egl.
   Please use our sister community, egl_comm_sales for your sale transactions. Sharing your work with the community is allowed; however, you may only post it for discussion purposes without links. Linking to online shops for personal gain and gain of sales are not allowed, and inclusion of such links without moderator pre-approval will result in post deletion.



7. Please do not advertise other communities without mod approval.
   If you have a community that you think would be appropriate to advertise in egl please contact any of the available mods for approval.



8. Do not delete comments.
   If you feel some comments are getting out of hand, please screen them and warn a moderator, do NOT delete them. Deleting them means moderators cannot hand out warnings where necessary. Please screen spambot comments and allow them to remain, as well, so we can report them to LJ and ban them from commenting in the community.



9. No introduction posts.
   An introduction post is when a new or recently active member of the community feels the need to make a post to introduce themselves. These posts usually contain a name, a location, and how long they've loved the fashion of Gothic & Lolita. We do not allow these because we receive so many new members daily. Introductions would clog the community with unnecessary posts. If you feel the need to introduce yourself, you may add an introduction to an on-topic post or do so in one of our regular Free-for-All posts.
