___{{About}}___ This is a community is for those who actually know what the gothic subculture is, participate in it to some degree (even if it's personal), and know where it came from. If you think you're goth because you're depressed and whiney, this community is not for you. If you think that Evanescence is a hot new "goth band", then we don't want to hear it.
___{{Rules}}____ 1. Everything, the survey and the pics, MUST be behind a LJ cut. 2. Fill out the survey, and fill it out to the best of your ability. It was made for a reason. 3. While you are being voted on, I don't care if you comment on another thread. I'm not going to be a post Nazi and restrict you from speaking your mind. HOWEVER, you CANNOT vote on someone else until you have been ACCEPTED. 4. If you have been Rejected, you can re-try in one week, but AT LEAST try to outdo your previous attempt. That means, have newer and better pics and better, more thought out answers. 5. I don't care if you photoshop your pics. I do require however at least ONE UNPHOTOSHOPPED pic. Please include at least one clear face shot. 6. Put "Am I elite enough?" as the subject so we know you read the rules. 7. When you fill out the survey, MAKE SURE YOU INCLUDE THE QUESTIONS. 8. Applying here will set you up for criticism, especially since this is an "elite" community. Don't be a whiney bitch if someone gives you a 'no'.
___{{IMPORTANT}}____ Newbies: 1. Please try to post your survey within 48 hours of joining. It's not required, but I would appreciate it. If however, you're taking more than 2 weeks to post it, obviously, I'm kicking your lazy ass out.
Members: 1. Be elitist, be strict, but DON'T be assholes/bitches. I will not tolerate you being dicks to the newbies UNLESS they are dicks first for no reason and deserve it. 2. Do NOT say no to someone because they happen to be a bit overweight. I WILL BAN YOU. 3. Goth over the years has blended with many different things: punk, raver, prep, etc... Don't even try saying no because someone has a mohawk or they are wearing candy bracelets. Thanks. 4. After being accepted: You can post whatever you want EXCEPT dumb internet surveys or tests. Photos, rants, polls, questions, concerns, etc...Whatever you want. But please put it all behind a lj-cut!!!
