- DEFINE SUGGEST GUIDELINES
This will display the following guidelines:
Definitions should be short and easily understood. You need not explain every nuance of a word; a basic defintion is enough. Words in definitions that are also in the dictionary may be linked to by surrounding them with _underscores_.
Under no circumstances should you submit definitions that are taken from a published dictionary.
Despite the temptation, please refrain from submitting definitions for character or GM names, real world concepts, or anything else inappropriate.
Your definition must be at least two words long.
