Okay, it's not really a rule, but this bothers me. When a new member posts a creation, they don't really understand what's going on. "What do you mean by origins?" Sometimes, they make small mistakes. "Cat Name: Ninjabeast" "RP Sample: beaststar left camp for fourtrees leading his clan behind him he twitched his tail waiting for the perfect time to go into the hollow"
I appreciate everybody helping. I love to see you eager and ready to educate newer members about how things go here! ^^ But sometimes, you appear rude when correcting the new member. I realize that after being on here a while and learning how to role-play and what to name your cat and create its appearance, somebody doing it totally wrong throws you off. You look at their creation in a, "What in the world is this?!" Honestly, I do that sometimes. But people like you being nice.
People are way more likely to follow what you say when you put it nicely. If you burst in saying things like, "No, you're doing it wrong, it's like this!" and "No! You can't have that name, it's ridiculous!", they're going to freak out and not like us. We want them to like us,
so we can get to know them and find where they live so we can have a better experience and reputation on this site.
Originally, I was going to tell you guys to just not post in creation topics at all. But I love and trust you, and I believe that you can be kind and "motherly" towards new members with their creations.
Have fun, and RP on! ^^

P.S. Here are some good and bad examples.
- BAD:
Cat Name: Rainbowkit/paw/heart
Tom or She-Cat: She-cat
Favorite Warriors Character(s): I love them all!!111!!
Familiarity with the series: read the first few books
Appearance: Colorful with black eyes
Personality: Total Mary-Sue!
Origins: lol wut does this mean?
RP Sample (A short paragraph of how you would RP): rainbow pounced on the other warrior like, “I will eat your face!” and the other warrior was all, “no, don’t hurt me” and rainbow decided to spare the other warrior because she felt bad for him
Older Member Coming to Help: What is this? XD Your creation is all wrong. We’re not allowed to have names like that, it doesn’t make sense. Also, why have a colorful cat? That’s silly and doesn’t make sense. Plus, you roleplayed wrong. It should be like this: *INSERT FIXED PUNCTUATION AND GRAMMAR HERE*
- GOOD:
Cat Name: Starkit/paw/song
Tom or She-Cat: Tom
Favorite Warriors Character(s): Their all amazing
Familiarity with the series: Wut do you mean?
Appearance: Blue-grey with purple speckles and flame colored eyes
Personality: Kawaii-desu
Origins: Forestclan
RP Sample (A short paragraph of how you would RP): Can you see the world? She asked him. He shook his head, not understanding. Well, Starsong, this is where you’ll be a warrior. Live long and prosper. He nodded and left her sitting there.
Older Member Coming to Help: Hello, and welcome to WCC! ^^ I would like to help make your creation better. (:
First, we can’t really have a cat with the first part of his name ‘Star.’ If he ever became leader, his name wouldn’t make sense. It’s also sacred to the warriors. Names should match the appearance, which you may also have to fix. Purple is just not a color that cats normally are. Perhaps he could be grey with darker grey flecks? You could also change the eye color to amber; that’s more regular sounding. ^^
His personality should be original. Etc, etc, etc….
