CLAIM ANYONE YOU WANT!!! Claim a band, a lead singer, a drummer, a guitarist, a singer, a rapper, anyone. It has to be someone related to music though.
1. Post an entry with your claims (You only get two (2)!) Also, put "I am claiming" in the subject line of your post so that we know you read and agree to abide by the rules. If not, your claims will be ignored!
2. You have to add this to your friends list AND stay a member of the community. Once your membership is approved, add the community to your friends list before you start claiming anything. If you leave the community or do not add it to your friends list, your claims will be erased and up for grabs.
3. CHECK THE BOTTOM OF THE USER INFO BEFORE YOU CLAIM! Only one person can claim one band, singer, etc. NO SHARED CLAIMS!
4. You can challenge someone else's claims, and if they do not respond within three days, their claims are yours! Just make a post stating that you want to claim ____________, and the person has three days to tell you that you cannot have their claims. If they do not reply, their claims are yours. That simple. ♥.
If you are going to be on hiatus and not able to defend your claims, just post an entry saying that you will be gone and to reserve your claims. Also, when you are back from hiatus, please make a post stating that you are back and able to defend your claims. It now costs 15 points to challenge. (Look at the bottom of the user info for more details)
5. Absolutely no fighting or arguing, unless it's during the weekly debate. Unnecessary fighting and arguing will result in an automatic ban and your claims being up for grabs. We will not hesistate to ban you.
6. Do not use multiple journals to get more claims. Only use one account. We do check out all of our members, so don't even try to pull anything. If you want more than your first intial two claims, get some more points.
7. You can post anything MUSIC RELATED. That's it. MUSIC RELATED POSTS ONLY! Music related posts include concert dates, music news, song lyrics, etc.
8. Don't pressure us to update the claims list. We have lives, and we will get to it when we get to it. We are online fairly often, so the list will most likely be updated once a day.
9. You are allowed to promote communities; however, it will cost you points. You can't promote other claiming communities, though. (See Point Section for Amount)
