    Feature Guidelines   

    All members may Submit a feature for consideration on the home page of Simtropolis!  *:read:

    1.  A feature can be announcing something notable in the community. For example, a new City Journal post, or a new BAT/STEX project.

    2.  Include a link to the showcased item of content. In general, off-site links will not be considered (except for very special cases).

    3.  Feature submissions are reviewed for approval by site staff. The time it takes for features to be approved may vary.

    4.  To keep it fair for everyone, you may only have one feature shown on the homepage at a time.
    So if you submit a new feature while already on the slider, your previous one(s) will be hidden.

    5.  If a feature has just been approved, new submissions will be held back in a hidden queue until the previous has been visible in the 1st slot for sufficient time (minimum 6-12 hours).

    6.  Should there be a shortage of new submissions, as staff we may revive older Features for more variety on the 5 homepage slider slots.

    7.  All standard Site Rules apply as usual.
