Der Bericht is an greeting/away board. Newer members are allowed to post their arrival on the site, and give us information over who they are so that we can get to know them better. People who are leaving the site - temporarily or permanently - can, instead, inform us of their departure from Wer Bist Du. Although we wouldn't want to see anyone leave, we can understand that sometimes things (life) happens. By giving us an official notice, you can protect your account(s) from activity checks, and you can give us a chance to bid you a fond farewell!
Greetings for Newbies should include the title tag "[Greeting]", but aren't required to. It makes it easier to decipher the differences from Greetings and Away threads when they hold a specific title to notify their purpose. Greetings are exactly that - a way to say Hello to the site! Some things you can include are your favorite hobbies, why you joined the site and how you found the site, and your current experience as a roleplayer. You can also include things like your top favorite items/things, if you have or want any pets and who/what they are, and anything you find interesting or just want to share with us! What you should not include is personal information. Keep personal names, your (specific) location, phone numbers, email addresses, ect, to yourself and keep your personal information private! (Always keep your personal information private while online, unless you truly know the person.)
Farewells Notices should include the title tag "[Away]". It's an easy way to notice an away thread. It isn't necessary to include it in the title tag, unless you want it to be considered a valid away thread. A Valid Away thread should include "[Away]" in the title, and an effective away date, and estimated return date in the posted body. If you need a longer away time, you can update your thread, as necessary, with a newer effective return date. Otherwise, you can give us a short reason why you're leaving. ("Life", "Midterms", ect) Do NOT post angst away threads, or attack other members on or off the site through your away threads!
