W.I.P. server posts are allowed, to an extent. I would say that when you are
confident with the project, and have
began development on it(whether it be story and/or plugins), then you are able to post something about it. If, for some reason the project fails, your staff team bails, or the project over-all cannot be finished, either delete the thread, or request it to be closed until further notice. There are several communities out there that have done this. In-fact, a group of people who have gotten on the administration team on the forums have done this multiple times. I won't say community names, because that breaks one of the multitude of forum rules (
http://forums.cloudsixteen.com/threads/new-members-and-community-shilling.27614/).
Edit: I was browsing the rules, and saw this;
1. Don't post your thread if it's not ready! If you post obviously unfinished or WIP threads, you will be banned.

If I understand this correctly, it means that if your community is obviously a W.I.P., you will be bannneedd!!
I honestly don't know why this is here, but no one really follows it anymore. It was a rule made 3 years ago by someone who isn't on the staff team anymore. Unless someone on the current staff team says otherwise, I would say that this post is safe. In fact, if they say that this post isn't safe, and they warn you, I'd say they're hypocrites
Post-Edit: Now that I have read that rule a few times, I do think that it's specifically for threads, not communities. Still, I stand by my opinion above if this is not the case.
