To submit something, simply make a new topic in this forum. Your post will be invisible to normal members, but the staff will see it and process it shortly. Thanks in advance for your contribution to x360a!

Submission Rules: Achievements

1. Achievement Images must be the xbox.com image URL. Do not save then upload your image to a third party host, it will be denied. Images stolen from other sites will also be denied. Look in the next section about secret achievement to know how to get the image URL.

2. Secret Achievements must have the name, description, image and point value or they will be denied. You must copy and paste all this info into a thread here, we will not be able to see them from your profile unless we have unlocked them ourselves. And if that was the case, they'd already be updated.

Please use this format when submitting secret achievements:
Name
Description
Point Value
Xbox.com Tile URL

To get the xbox.com tile URL:
1. Right click on the image from your xbox.com achievements page.
2. Click "copy image location" from the menu that pops up.
3. Come back to your submit thread and click where the URL needs to go (on the line after the point value for the achievement), then right click again and hit "paste" from the menu that pops up.

Example:
Supreme General
Play through 1 scenario campaign on medium difficulty without losing any battles.

3. New Achievement Lists that are all text will be denied. New lists that are stolen from other sites will be denied. If you have found an achievement list, you MUST give us the xbox.com link for the list OR a link to someone's profile who has played the game. If you simply submit a text list of achievements, we can not use them. To add a list to the site, we must be able to view the achievement list via an xbox.com link. That is how we import the achievements and that is the only way you will receive credit of any kind.


Submission Rules: Achievement Guides

Please make sure you follow the guidelines in this thread (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=61662) when writing the guide. The guide will then be forwarded to the guide team and they will make any necessary corrections/additions and will see that it gets posted to the site if it is good enough. If it is not good enough, it will simply be discarded.

If your guide is too long for one post, simply split it up and we will merge it together later.

If you have a small correction to an existing guide, please let us know here (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=57731).


Submission Rules: Reviews

If you would like to apply for the review team, please follow the same format we use for our site reviews. You can view those from the "Reviews" link on the left side of the main site. The review will then be forwarded to the review team and a decision will be made from there. Please submit a review for a game that we do not have a review on the site for already.

Note: As of 06/06/08 the review team is full and not accepting members.

Submission Rules: News

If you think you've found something news-worthy, go ahead and post the link and a short description of why it is news worthy. If we agree, we'll try to get it up on the main site.


--------------------------------------
Please note: If a submission is denied, you will NOT be notified. If it is accepted, you will have to wait to see your if your name shows up in the "Achievement Unlocked" news post on the main page, done bi-weekly. You must be the FIRST to submit it to get credit. All posts are time stamped, so we know who got it in first.
--------------------------------------
Also Note: If you are to receive an award for you submission, it will take a few days. I only process the submissions, I have no control over the awards. Rest assured, I will notify the admins and you will get your award.
