Why can't I create content with full HTML?

By default, all content created by Rochester Gamers Community (RGC), be it a page, blog post, review, or any other content, is set to only allow filtered HTML.

Filtered HTML allows for a higher level of security, ensuring content does not allow melisious coding or "backdoor" vulnerability to the RGC site. Note, however, that the filtered HTML does allow for a wide range of formatting and will grow as needed. Web page addresses and e-mail addresses turn into links automatically.

If you want to create content that requires an HTML tag that is currently not allowed, contact Siddy with your HTML request. If the HTML tag is found to be secure, it will be added to the acceptable filtered HTML list.

How do I add a game review?

First, the majority of the content on the site can only be added by a RGC voting member. These are people that pay an annual fee of $10 to help give RGC direction. In addition they get certain benefits, like being able to add content to the website.

If you are a voting member, you can add a game review, by going to the Game Reviews section (top link, Primary menu on right, or Navigation menu on left). From there you should see an Add child page link towards the bottom of the center, content section.

From here, give your review a Title (preferably the name of the game you are reviewing) and assign tags (Game Reviews and type of game genre are two good ones to start with). Next, write the review in the Body area and finally Save or Preview (then Save) your review.
