All rules must be read before becoming a member or posting
your application. Furthermore, you may not post anywhere until
your application is accepted.
The Basics
1. Spamming and / or Trashing the Site
Just don't do it. Okay? It's not polite and it's certainly won't
impress us admins or others members if you are ruining this site.
Spamming is basically double posting, one word posts etc. Need
more clarification? PM me or one of the other admins. First offense
is a warning, second of offense you are banned for a week, third
offense you are banned permanently. This punishment applies to
rules 1-5 & 7.
2. Language and Grammar
We are a literate site, meaning one line posts are not acceptable.
Yes, everyone gets writers block every now and then so sometimes
it just can't be helped. However, if every IC post you are making is
less than 100 words, you will receive a warning. I'd like posts to be at
least a good paragraph or two. And we are talking the big kid paragraphs,
the ones that are 10 to 12 sentences. Not 6-8. I have no word count, but
if posts become a problem I will make one. This, of course, excludes OOC
posts. Please use proper grammar and spelling. Obviously, I understand that
we all are from different countries so spelling may be different, but please,
use spell check on Microsoft Word! It only takes a few seconds and it makes
the board look a lot neater. Typos are to be expected, but that doesn't mean
I want to see a whole post filled with them!
3. Rating
This site has a PG-13 rating. Proboards does not allow sex, drug use, or graphic
violence. If these types of things have to happen in your RP please insert
a tasteful time lapse or something of the sort.
4. Respect Other Members
Please, if you have a problem with someone, do not start a hate war.
They really are not necessary and that do not add to the friendly
atmosphere of the site. If you do have a problem with another
member, PM an admin and they will sort it out with you and said
member in the most mature and unbiased way possible.
5. The Staff's Say is FINAL
I think this one is rather self explanatory, don't you? Respect us
and we will respect you! We will NOT tolerate disrespect of the Staff.
If you have a problem with something please PM one of the staff about it.
The staff members of this site have the right to change and edit these rules
however and whenever they see fit.
6. The Application
Create a new thread on the application board. The subject must be in LAST
NAME, First Middle format. PLEASE Spell check before posting. You may not
post any RP until you have been accepted and have gone to the claims page.
7. The Chat Box
The chat box is for friendly chat only. Fighting, trashing, bullying,
or ANYTHING other than friendly chat will NOT be tolerated in
the chat box.
Image Rules
1. Credit
If someone makes you a signature or avatar, they probably spent
quite a lot of time perfecting it for you. Therefore, do not claim it
as your own! Credit it as their work. Similarly, don't steal others
signatures / avatars / images. It's not very polite and we won't be
lenient when we find out (and we will!) you will receive a warning.
2. Size
Oh, here we go. The size of your signature does not matter on one
condition: it doesn't stretch the board. This is just a common courtesy
on your part. Avatars must be 150 x 200 pixels. Also, do not post images
larger than 500 x 500. These will stretch the board. However, post a
link if you are absolutely dying to. Icons are mandatory as well, people need
to know what your character looks like! Speaking of character looks. Your
character MUST have a celebrity face. This means absolutely NO personal
pictures or cartoons.
3. Content
No nudity, gore, graphic violence, offensive text or anything similar.
End of story. Also, no anime characters. You must have a living person
as your face claim. If you need help we have a graphics board where you can
request things to be made for you once you are accepted.
Out of Character
1. Be Polite
Yes, your character has permission to be an absolute cow. You,
however, do not. There is no need to put down other members or
trash the site when you are OOC. It's just rude.
2. Advertising
We have an advertising section. So why bother posting links to
sites you want to in any other section of the board? There isn't
any point.
In Character Rules
1. Naming your Character/s
Try to be interesting! While sometimes it is hard to find a name
that really suits your characters, it is annoying to see 'Sam Smith'
walking around. Play around with it! Anything goes! However,
please remember to register in First Last format! Obviously
if you have a slip up, simply pm an admin and we will fix it for you.
2. Limit to the number of characters
Simple; there isn't one, providing you keep every single one of them
active. We don't want to see people making countless new characters &
never bothering to develop their old ones. However, if you make 2 girl
characters, you must make one boy, and vice versa. You may not make
another character until you have at least 5 IC posts with your other character(s)
3. NO Power Playing / God Modding
In other words; you do not control every single character on this board.
The whole point of rping is interacting with other people! So do not
make your characters all knowing of everything. As for god modding;
just don't do it, okay? If you're unsure as to what it is; basically, it's
when you determine the actions of another character. WRONG. You
can say that is was a well aimed slap, but never say your character
actually hit the other character. It is up to them to decide whether
their character is involved.
thankyou
love your friendly admins
