#ndhqadmin

[newdirectionshq]

I just wanted to take a quick second, as we head into our 20th week of game play, to thank you all for your patience with me lately. I had an incredibly demanding week this week and I was not able to put the necessary attention into adminning that was required or up to our usual standards.

So - as I come back today and start straightening out the main and catching up on admin tasks and my characters, I just want you all to know how much I appreciate you and your continued commitment and effort here at NDHQ. It truly means the world to me.

• NDHQ PRODUCTION - BLIND ITEMS •

The comments sections on everyone’s videos and social media accounts are teeming with interesting tidbits about the creators as people and their personal lives. The @ndhqproduction​ blog is ready and willing to bring these juicy tidbits to a bigger audience.

We encourage members to submit gossip to the blog as a subscriber might - speculations, comments, and commentary on the creators. These comments will be visible to the creators, and they will be tagged, so they may also serve some in character plotting purposes.

I will warn that these tidbits must not be insulting, hateful, degrading, or comment on any OOC behaviour of the characters or members. Anything deemed to be inappropriate will not be posted. 

Something like “Audrey’s content is #basicaf” or “Puck’s last video had me screaming” are totally fine! Even comments about more than one creator at a time - “Why don’t Stella and Regan ever film together? I heard there’s some jealousy issues that might explain it!” are fine and even encouraged. 

Anything inflammatory or accusatory - “Audrey never even posts videos - how is she still even employed with NDHQ smh” will not be allowed.

Each time a creator is mentioned in a piece of gossip, they will be awarded a randomized amount of views FROM 1 TO 10 PER MENTION. Weekly mentions will be capped at 50 per creator per week. It will be visible to creators how many views they receive for each mention.

We encourage creators to reblog their mentions - comment on them! Interact with “subscribers.”

Note - you’re totally free to send comments and mentions about yourself - there’s no rule against it! 

These will be posted and tagged with “NDHQBLINDITEM″ but it not a requirement for you to track this tag! If you are specifically addressed in a blind item you will be @ mentioned by name.

I’m so happy to see an influx of new members and activity on our dash! It’s so heartwarming as an admin to know that people are enjoying the game we’ve built. Just a few refreshers:

All triggers need to be tagged. We do have a triggers list here, but also be mindful of the usual “drug tw” “alcohol tw” “blood tw,” etc. If your character is discussing these issues, they must be tagged so they can be blacklisted. 

Second, it is vital that all gifs used in this game are faceclaims that are 18+. I understand that some of the faces in the game were producing entertainment when they were younger and you may have your characters discuss mattes that are not adult themed, but any depiction of minors is strictly off-limits and members found violating this rule will be removed without consultation.

Third - as a reminder, you should be making an effort to engage with everyone in the game. Please step outside your OOC friends and respond to starters in the tag that you may have missed, or have fewer notes. If you haven’t interacted with someone in a while, please reach out and do so. We want to remain inclusive and fun for everyone as possible. Most of the time building a new connection is a welcomed and fun surprise! All starters are posted in our OOC Discord server. If you need an invite to the server, please let me know!

Again, welcome to our new members - we hope you enjoy your time with us at HQ! A new prompt will be posted later today, and rankings will be up tomorrow! 

Finally we are still LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO HELP WITH THE PRODUCTION BLOG - so if you are willing to give us a hand, please IM the main or message me (Brandi) on Discord. Most of you have my handle. 

PLEASE LIKE THIS POST WHEN YOU HAVE READ IT. Thank you!

• NDHQ VIEWS REQUIREMENT GUIDE •

Jess and I have mentioned bringing in a guide to ensure that every member is aware of what we are looking for in assigning views each week. To ensure we are all on the same page, we’ve listed what is required to meet the view threshold for each item on the VIEWS PAGE.

• RULES & TIMING •

View forms must be submitted by SUNDAY at 3:00pm EST.

Each week ends on Saturday at 11:59pm, and new weeks begin on Sundays at 12:00am.

Note that if you submit your forms early, any posts made between the time of your submission and the deadline of Saturday at 11:59pm will not be counted; it would be wise not to post any “big ticket” view posts in that window.

• NDHQ PRODUCTION - GET KINKY •

Working in this industry, it’s natural that there will be requests by the viewers about what they would like their favourite creators to do in a video. 

Members will be able to send video options to the production blog on anon that can be “claimed” by any member. These requests may also mention specific creators by name! Some examples include “a jock and cheerleader roleplay scene,” or “Fuckerman and Maggie Flowers and oral sex!”

If a request is open for any creators, liking the post will consider the request claimed.

Upon completion of the video (by discord, or dash para, whatever method you’d prefer) and confirmation that the scene is finished, all creators involved in filling the request will net an additional 15 VIEWS for the week the video is complete.

In order to claim your views for completing a request, SEND A MESSAGE to the production blog linking the para and you’ll be awarded the views at the end of the next rankings week.

If you are sending in requests, please be mindful of the limits we have on sexual themes: no incest, rape, beastiality, or slavery themes.

These will be posted and tagged with “NDHQREQUEST″ but it not a requirement for you to track this tag! If you are specifically “requested” you will me @ mentioned by name.

[newdirectionshq]

We conducted a brief survery in the ooc discord to see how people feel about adding third members to the families in the group. It’s something that we’re still considering, but we wanted to extend the idea to the entire group and get a feel for how people about it. This isn’t something that we’re set on happening so we don’t want anyone to feel pressured to agree with it because we want it to happen. We’re just trying to see personal opinions on the matter and intend to keep the decision based on each family rather than a whole group decision.

All of that being said, we would like it if every member in the group could message us to let us know if you’d be okay with adding a third member to your characters family. This will have to be unanimous and if one member isn’t okay with it, we won’t be extending the members of that family. For people with only one member in it, you’ll be the sole deciding factor in what happens with the members of your family. 

[newdirectionshq]

Just a reminder to our members that we do have rules in place with respect to the sexual themes that can be explored in this group. Sending anonymous messages that relate, in any way, to incest, rape, slaves or bestiality are not appropriate and certainly not tolerated in this group. As we’ve had an instance of this this morning, please be mindful of what you are sending on anonymous. There are methods to track who is sending questions, and we will be taking action if this continues.

Thanks!

• NDHQ PRODUCTION - CONTENT ARCHIVE •

You will notice that we have been reblogging all content made my NDHQ creators to @ndhqproduction​! This includes all creative content and videos that have been written and “posted” to the NDHQ website.

Each piece of content has been tagged with the creator’s name, and the type of content. The tags are as follows:

ndhq video content - any video that has been posted to the website;

head canon; 

moodboard;

aesthetic;

task - tasks are also tagged with the “ndhqtask##” tag;

event - events are also tagged with the “ndhqevent##” tag;

social media - including Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook and Youtube; and

playlist.

The content will continue to be queued so in case you miss some of the great work made by our fellow creators, you’ll be able to see it as it is reblogged.

You will also note that OUR MAIN MASTERLIST has been updated to show each creator’s porn star name in brackets next to their legal name. If you click the porn star name, you will be taken to that creators tag on the production blog.

[newdirectionshq]

Just a note that Savanna Lopez will be changing faceclaims from Cierra Ramirez to Selena Gomez. She’ll be using the same blog, so if you’ve already followed, don’t worry about refollowing, but the correct blog is @vixenvan!
