- First off; MEMBERSHIP REQUESTS: If your membership request was denied and you want to know why, you must e-mail one of the mods or leave a comment on the members only post. We reject journals to weed out trolls and spammers. Although posts are moderated, we'd rather not have to deal with this sort of thing in the first place, so please don't be offended. We'll usually check journals that we don't recognize to see when it was created and the numbers of entries in each journal. If the journal was just created or has no entries, it will be rejected membership.

- Upon joining, we ask that you post your application within the time period of 48 hours (two days). If you don't post your application within the given time period, you will be removed from the community. You're allowed to join once more and post your application, but if you join again and remain inactive you will be removed from the community for the last time. In other words, don't lurk or you'll be banned.

- Have respect for moderators and members alike. If you can't get along with someone, then get in touch with one of the moderators and we'll handle it. Everyone here is nice and we'll respect you if you show the same respect in return.

- Put you and your partner's names in the subject line of your post so that we know you read the rules. It should look like "Your name & Your partner's name".

- Please put "Takin' a ride down Romance Drive!" in the lj-cut line. The lj-cut is already provided in the application, but it has a message stating to the members that you didn't read the rules. Pay attention please.

- You must be at least 14 years old to apply. Also, you must have been in your relationship for at least 4 months.

- If you are rejected, you can try again in one week. 99% of the time you'll be rejected for not being detailed enough in your application.

- Do not just write a sentence as an answer. We all read your whole application, and if it's short, we'll more than likely say no. We want to know about you and your partner, and we'd like a good bit of information to base our vote on, so answer the questions in full. Plus, we like reading about your relationship, so you can never go wrong with elaboration.

- Do not comment on anything except your own application if you haven't been accepted. We used to ban people for this, now we'll just warn you. It's not that hard people. The posts will still be there after you are stamped.

- When replying to comments in your application, please erase the subject line of the person's vote so it's easier for the mods to count the votes. You will be warned if you don't do it.

- Do not delete your application. This is a rating community based on your relationship, so if you don't think you can take the heat, then please do not apply. We're not mean, we won't try to bruise your ego and we're always fair in voting, so you really have nothing to worry about. Deleting your application will result in you being banned.

- Most importantly, do NOT start drama within your application or the community. If someone gives you a no, you're allowed to ask why, but don't be rude about it. Remember, this is a rating community, they're allowed to judge you if you apply, so suck it up.

- Failure to fill out your entire application will result in lots of no's so fill out the whole thing and take your time.

- None of that toggle type. If you tYpE LyKe DiS don't bother applying. Please have a little bit of knowledge of the English language. We don't want to have to read through your application six times to understand what you're saying.

- If you tell us that you don't have pictures, and we find out some other way that you have some, it will result in a ban. If you think you and your someone aren't easy on the eyes, it's not a big deal. We're not rating you on your faces, it's moreso to put faces to the relationship we're reading about. We won't lie to you, so please don't lie to us.

- Promoting is allowed, as long you put it under a lj-cut. But please use common sense when doing so. We don't want the only thing you do to be active is promote other communities in here, so please try not to do so if possible. Also, if you promote in our community you must promote us in that community as well and provide the link within your promo post. It's a win/win situation for everyone.

- This community is friends only. All the posts are automatically friends only, so if your application is made public you had to have put forth the effort for it to be that way, and we'll delete your application and remove you from the community.

- Once your application is posted you are not allowed to modify it unless told to do so by the mods. We approve the applications as they're posted so we'll read through them completely before we approve them. This is solely so that if someone gives you a no for something you can't go back and change it and argue that you didn't say it.
