this is a gentle reminder to all our members that you should not be using gifs that have been created by someone who is not comfortable with hollywood/celeb rps using their resources. we kindly ask that you always double check gifmakers posts/blogs/rules to make sure you're following their guidelines. if you're struggling to find resources, you're more than welcome to mention it in our ooc blog as someone within the group might be able to help.

Hello members!

As a part of our endeavors to change a few aspects of the group, we have gone ahead and made some adjustments to our rules. Please be sure you give them a proper read through and proceed to like this post after. We took your feedback into consideration so thank you to those who reached out. The main concern was in regards to starters. We hope these modifications will be to your satisfaction. Though, we will always urge all members to respond to all starters posted on our tag at least once. We also encourage everyone to post more open starters as that helps build more connections. Admins Lily and Lizzy extend a warm welcome to the latest additions to our admin team: admins Kira and Min. They have been an incredibly addition thus far and we trust their efficiency and dedication as both admins and members. We're very lucky to have them. Thank you all for making this group what it is. We are truly grateful to each and everyone of you for proving to be outstanding members of Hills. As always, we are here if you need anything!

HELLO HILLS FAM!

This is just a post regarding our event at the weekend!

Firstly, since this event is not mandatory, please comment on this post which of your celebs are going, just so we know who will be participating in the task. The cut off point for this is Thursday.

Hello members,

We hope everyone is having a lovely day today. Us admins have been recently alerted to a previous member going around trying to recruit members to join into their group. While we have no issue with members being an apart of as many groups as they like, we do not condone using our group and blog roll for promoting purposes. Nobody wants to return to their blog and see they have multiple spam messages. If any groups would like a shoutout of sorts, there are plenty of blogs out there that specialize in that, but going around spamming our members is frankly extremely rude behavior and shows lack of consideration for an admin team who previously welcomed you in their group. Many of us admins have blogs of our own in which we have lists of open celebrity groups that can be pursued to be included into. We encourage those partaking in these endeavors to seek out the appropriate medium to do so. Those who cannot abide by our wishes will be permanently banned from the group.

Members, we urge you to block @austinelvisbutler to avoid receiving spam messages.

I'm only responding this because It's so incredibly rude? I can only speak for myself, admin Lily, but sending us messages like this does not encourage us admins to want to respond to your message faster. I know exactly who sent this. If we didn't respond within 12 hours of a message being sent it's because we were considering what was requested as we do all messages. We do not ignore messages to spite anyone. If we are slow at responses, it's because all of us admins tend to make decisions together and that can be difficult to do when we're all in different timezones.

Please do not spam ours IMs or our inbox. We're just humans and as much as we love being your admins, we do have jobs and lives outside of the group. Most importantly, we have feelings. We usually make it a point not to respond to anons like this, but I feel aggravated by this. Especially when they come from people who have zero respect for us and haven't made an effort to join in the group.

To those of you who always make it a point to treat us with kindness, thank you so much. We do our best to ensure this group is a fair and safe space for all. We truly value each and every one of our members. If we're ever slow at responding to any messages, it is because we're either busy or we're discussing how to best properly answer what is being asked with fairness in mind.

Hello members!
