For backstage pics from Gackt or Bunraku that are obviously private, you must provide a link to the original source (not from another fan blog, but the original owner of the pic) so we know they were intended for public viewing.

When you post or make comments -  do not place lj user links like this [livejournal.com profile] bunraku_blog 

unless the user link is a member of this community, or it is an affiliate com.


[identity profile] karadin.livejournal.com
Gackt Army allows it's members to promote sales, other coms, etc. if those coms are affiliates, which means, they provide a permanent message about Gackt Army and a link. In return, we will showcase your com or journal on our user info with a message and link.

Promotions must be brief and succinct, do not contain images, and provide one link back to the journal or community, etc.

If you are promoting a project of your own, collecting fan messages, a gift for Gackt, meet-ups etc. You must state your intentions clearly, giving deadlines, as well as the disclaimer that yours is not a Gackt Army sponsored project.

If you promote a project here, you must update our members, you cannot go back in community and amend a previous post as an update. If your project changes, is abandoned, or completed, you must make an update post.

It is up to each member if they want to make a private or public posting in this com.

Gackt News will post each morning in our community - and as it happens if it is spectacular - as Members Only posts.

Radio, TV and Magazine listings will be kept in separate postings for Members.

Selected offerings of Gackt News will be made to the public in one omnibus edition each evening.

If you post content in this community, it belongs to you, your icons, your scans, your art, your news reports. etc.

We do not set any limits on members posting content (that is their own) outside the community, you may post wherever and whenever you like, we only ask that if you create something for a GA challenge that you state in other journals and coms it was created for us, and that if there is a contest where names are hidden until voting is complete, you don't spoil your chances.

Certain posts will belong to us, such a commissioned translations, these are not to be shared outside the community without our consent.

We have Affiliates and Divisions which may want to share content, you may be asked by other members and even non-members for your content. It is up to you whether to share it or not, but no member should ever feel harassed or compelled to share what they post.

If you ever feel you are being harassed, please bring it to the attention of the General and Officers.

And, it should be stated, taking content out of Gackt Army without permission of the poster is reason for dismissal from the community.

The General Staff of Gackt Army.

The answer is YES. Any fanfic, fanart fanvids, etc. that are Gackt-related, may be posted here, this includes Gackt as Genesis, Gackt as Lau Wong, and future Gackt as Yoshi from Bunraku.

RPS is also welcome, but we ask for complete headers, so that if anyone wants to avoid certain content they can (cos Officer Taka cringes when I slash Genesis and his fellow SOLDIER Angeal.) For your protection and our own, we must insist that each come with a disclaimer and notice of adult content.

As a mod, I get questions about posting daily, and I did think if I keep getting lots of questions, I'll should make a post in com - but in future, I'll just direct members to the new Gackt Army F.A.Q page, and the User Info.

Thank You

I had a query this morning from a Gackt fanclub that wants to affiliate with GA, in the past we did make affiliations rather loosely, in future we will have a screening system for affiliates. No one should create a personal lj on behalf of a com and join us as a member just to search for content to use on their own site.

We provide our members a place to post their content, we as a community do not collectively own that content.

Each post in Gackt Army belongs to the member who created it - so no one should assume because they are a member that they can take whatever they wish from our journal and post it elsewhere without the individual who posted giving permission.

If you have an existing affiliation with Gackt Army, you may pimp out your community and its projects in a general post.


Thank You

As some of you may have noticed, images and icons have disappeared! Lj is having some problems.

The community is moderated, which means all posts go to the General for approval - the exception are those Colonels who have been granted some unmodded privileges - so that this com is ready with your Gackt news 24/7.

If your post is ever disapproved, you receive reasons why in your return email. This is most often because the post does not meet posting guidelines, all guidelines can be found in our user info.

IF you post is not approved or disapproved, it is holding in the queue, this happens when (for example) two Word and Image or two Gacktastic Vid posts come in on the same day. In this instance, the first in the queue is posted.
[identity profile] karadin.livejournal.com
All information on how to post to the community is available in our User Info. When at times, posts are disapproved, it is because these rules are not followed, rarely the content of the post.

Fanart and Fanfiction have their own rules, as well as translations, these should be posted with 'critique yes or no'

Certain posts should remain public - these are NEWS POSTS, and they should have source references - this is the only time that links should be allowed in the post. Other types of posts can remain public at your discretion, such as offerings of fic or opinion.

All contest and challenge entries must be public.

POSTS THAT SHOULD BE KEPT LOCKED - Sales or Swap posts, Members Only Information, Downloads.

Linking away to content is not permitted in the community, this is because links can become dead or altered. This is standard practice for communities with locked information. (There are exceptions to every rule, and you can always ask the General about it.)

Links are not allowed in comments, this is because the majority of the community will miss the information. In these cases, make a post regarding the information - if it pertains to Gackt - and then everyone will be able to see it.

When making comments, try to stay on topic, this will allow everyone the space to talk, if a thread becomes exceptionally long or off topic, feel free to discuss amongst yourselves, as the point of the com is interaction between members. Remembering of course, that content belonging to the com stays in the com.

You can request pics, vids, information from the community, just make a post and put on a request tag. PLEASE USE TAGS so in future posts can be found easily. The community will never provide audio downloads.

We do not encourage linking to content away from the community, this is in the case of dead links - where the content has been removed, but not the post.

Sometimes there is no way to get around links - for example downloads - downloads must remain locked to members only.

You might see an entry (such as a recent one directing to a Final Fantasy article, this was due to the length of the article and the fact that it was not directly related to Gackt) or news reports where the sources are shown (because we will only report verifiable news) some links may appear in posts, these are on a case by case basis and have been approved by the General.

There should never be links in comments. If you have something to show someone you may contact them personally (we encourage members to connect out of the com, after all) or you may make a post to the community, so everyone can see.

Hope this removes any confusion.
