Please read this entire section. It is vital in understanding how and when to submit your site. Please note that this is not an elite directory, but Sailormoon goodness is a must.

site content

Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon your site must be 80%-100% dedicated to the subject of Sailormoon (in any form)
- forums/RPGs alternative universes are okay, but if your forum/rpg is completely off of the storyline of senshi please email me first. Your site must also already have members, cannot be a brand new RPG/forum with no members.
- graphics site must be largely dedicated to SM graphics not just some.
- fanart/fanfiction site must be largely dedicated to SM fanwork not just some.
None of the following... hentai (exceptions are marked off fanwork/RPGs), hate, under construction (a few pages are okay, but not excessively i.e. 90% finished), excessive broken images/ads/javascripts
Decent Grammar is a must. Use a spell check if needed.
Correct Information please don't have any wrongly proved information i.e. Chibi Chibi is Sailormoon's daughter.
Foreign Languages are okay other language sites are welcomed at DS, but also note you must fit all the criteria at DS and understand English.

site etiquette

Be considerate of visitors i.e. music should not be automatically playing when entering a site (and/or should be able to be turned off), excessive javascripts/ads
Browser/Resolution capability if your site does not work in all browsers, do you note somewhere, which is the best browser/resolution?
Accessibility is your navigation/color scheme visible to the color blind and easily found?
Good Natured Website Owner I understand that not everyone has the same temper, but if you could be tolerant of all the members listed at DS, your visitors, and myself it would be helpful.

site individuality

All sites are different DS understands this concept. The rules reflect a general aspect of what DS strives for. If your site does not follow all the criteria, please email me if you have questions concerning this issue. i.e. 80% of one site does not mean 80% on your site.
Name and content why make a mirror site? If you see and know of the site that has the exact same name and exact same content, I highly suggest you change both.
Zero tolerance on copying/stolen content I've visited enough SM sites and have been a part of the SM community long enough to know where and what originated at. If you decide to submit a copied site, the original owner will be notifed. Credit your sources.

site layout

Moderate understanding of coding HTML, PHP, CSS
Pre-made layouts... site layouts should be made by You. Gifts are okay, but you must exhibit a competant understanding of HTML. Exceptions forum/RPG/image gallery templates (and/or other community/database related) are okay.
Pre-made brushes... are okay, but not to be used excessively or heavily on a layout.
Zero Tolerance on Stolen Layouts this includes copying layout design graphics, CSS, HTML, PHP etc. Original designer will be notified.

providing url, site name, and button

88x31 pixel button please have an 88wx31h pixel non-animated button DS can link your site with, if not the button area will be left blank. Exception if you're submitting a Fanlisting provide a 50x50
No site name w/ symbols do not have symbols (example: *~Deep Submerge~*) before or after your name or site name (also note that quotations "" for some reason clash with the database so if your site for some reason is in quotations please note that for me in the comment box
No url/site address redirects i.e. dot.nu etc.

everything else

Before submitting, check out the quality of sites listed in your category to see what Deep Submerge is striving for
Only submit your own site Exception I will sometimes randomly add sites I find, if you see your site on here and don't remember submitting email me with your contact information.
Must fill out the description of your site preferably three sentences or less. Refrain from describing your site as the "best ever." I have the right to edit your entire description.
Where it says Neptune on the join form type sunrise.

sailormoon goodness

So what is "Sailor Moon goodness" in a site? Everyone has their own opinion on what makes a site good or not. I try to keep an open mind with pending sites. As long as a site has decent content, grammar, design, HTML skill, and no stolen content as well as a good natured site owner, then you have achieved our requirement. Again, DS is not elite. Why? I don't believe that any site can call themselves elite over another. Nor, do I have the right to decide what makes an elite site, when I don't even think that my designs are elite.

why am I not listed?

If you are not added to the directory after the next update it means you never read the rules or your site broke one or more of the above rules. You are always welcome to apply again. You may leave me a note in the comment section to ask why you did not make it into the directory (note that I have the right not to reply if I decide not to). Please note that all sites are different. I will look at each site throughly and determine whether or not you have fulfilled all the requirements for you to be added i.e. 80% on one site may not be the same as 80% on your site. Also note that if one of your sites is listed on the directory that does not guarentee that all your other sites will be listed here.
