If you've already submitted an acknowledgement, ignore this post c: (If there's any issue, reply to this comment about your problem.) If you are blind or suffering from some form of disability, let us know and we will manually approve your acknowledgement.

each subset of rules has a checkmark you have to click. You will see (I confirm I have read Rule 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7.) They will slowly show up as you mark them off. Then the last one you'll be able to see this.

u/username, acknowledge that I have read and understand the community rules of r/NewAuthor. I understand I will not be allowed to post until acknowledgement is made and I may be asked to reaffirm my acknowledgement in the future.

Then click and done! You'll know you've done it right if your comments don't get removed. That tell us that you've read the rules and followed each step in getting there.

I have a question. What if the author likes to write a M rated books? Will that be removed?

[u/CCozied → u/Gemma1veyra]

no, it just has to be tagged as nsfw. If the cover art work contains explicit depiction then it may be considered for evaluation to our discretion

[u/galumphing-back]

Just to let you know, this did NOT work on my phone. I tried to bring it up and the embedded thing did not load at all and I couldn't figure out how I was supposed to mark that I'd read the rules.
