The Rules « Thread Started on Jul 23, 2008, 5:39pm »
The Rules; Both Site & RP Mixed together:
1. Respect the Staff and Members. The staff gets respected because if it weren't for them then you wouldn't have this forum to rp on. Members get respect because it is right, basically treat others how you want to be treated.
2. Swearing Is allowed but be realistic. if you don't swear like that in real life then don't make your character swear like it.
3. Absolutely no God-modding. If I see this done You will get a warning, everyone can see the warnings.
4. When you are posting In Character, use proper symbols and typing. No *, or ~, or + signs are allowed. Do people talk like that? No. Then should you RP like that? No.
5. Do not RP or post anywhere but the Character Start Off board until you are accepted I will delete it and give you a warning if it happens at least 3 times. Only staff members have the power to approved profiles. The staff is listed in the welcome box on the main page. Don't rush your profile either. Take your time since a rushed and five minute profile won't get approved.
6. If you feel the need to argue with another member, alright. But please, keep it to PM's. I don't want to see a bunch of Out Of Character nonsense going on. If your character happens to be fighting with someone, go you. That is perfectly fine, but keep it realistic.
7. Realistic, Realistic, Realistic. You have no idea the wonders of some peoples minds. Their characters can get pregnant, have an affair, get an abortion, set their hair on fire, fall in love, and break up, bot NOT all in the same day. Also no falling in love five post after your character meets someone. Does that happen in real life? no. Your character can get a crush but please wait at least a week or two in rp time with the character before saying its love. crushes come and go all the time.
8. Make your Character Real. I hate Mary-Sues/Gary-Stus. They are annoying, and unrealistic. You won't be accepted if you try and apply with one, so please, give your character some flaws!
9. Only one characters per account and if you want to play more, go ahead, but make separate accounts for them. (And don't stretch yourself too thin) Your first character must have at least 100 posts before you apply for a second one.
10. Do not carry on Out of Character (OOC) conversations in RP areas. If you feel it is absolutely necessary to make an OOC comment, do it with ((this)).
11.To prove to me that you've read these rules, please place this smiley at the end of your character's profile.
12.Please change your display name to your character's first and last name. You can do this in your profile.
13.Please try to keep things UNDER 'PG-13' in the RP. If a thread has mature content, it will be deleted. No warning, nothing it will just get deleted. Anything over PG will end up with the people rping most likely getting banned from the site or their account disable.
Also DO NOT rp Mature content (sexual rps, detailed torture scenes, or anything like that) outside of the bedroom section. You will get a warning for this if not get your account disabled. Only certain people have the password and they are under orders to not give it out. I have a list of all who can post in the board and if anyone but them are posting in the Mature Content board, then the person who does post will get their account disabled for two days. If you can't view the Mature Content board then you can't rp anything that would go on that board.
14. This is a Semi-Literate & up role play. I know nobody is perfect with spelling & grammar but there is a spell check button, please use it if you aren't sure of the spelling of a word.
15. Fire & beheading kills all. I don't care what your character is but these things will kill it. Same goes for getting hit in the heart or lungs, unless its a vampire.
16. try to keep your character in only one place at once please. so your character can only be in one rp thread at a time. However if you are an active member you can be in up to three threads at a time.
17. No one liners please. this isn't really a rule more of a suggestion since I a lot of times can't post anything more than one line. but please try to not use one liners. include thoughts, actions, describe where they are.
18. Have Fun
Warning System:
1st offense - Warning through PM & warning bar 2nd offense - Warning through PM and 1 day ban, this will happen if you get the warning bar to 30. 3rd offense - 1 week ban with notification letter, this will happen if you get the warning bar half way full. 4th offense - Automatic removal from site , this will happen if you get the warning bar all the way full.
Each rule broken will get ya 5 or 10 in the warning bar each time.
Rules can change if the admins think that they need to be changed.
