it may seem like alot to read, but really, it's not. please read the rules carefully, don't just skim.[/blockquote][/size]the basics;;
01. This site needs to be a active site. I know that you can't get on every day, but if you can't get on at least 2 times a week, then this site is not for you.Let an admin know if you're going to be gone for over 5 days.in character rules;;
02. You can have as many characters if you want, but there are some rules. For every two female characters you have, you must have one male. Personally, I don't care if you're 'absolutely horrible at playing guys. Make one anyway and use him.
04. If you register a canon, you MUST role-play that canon at least once every four days. If I find that your canon character is not active, I will give it to someone else who will be able to use it more. I know that not everyone can get on the computer every day, but a canon is a huge responsibility. Also, make sure you know the character inside and out. But please talk to an admin or mod, I know it sounds strict but we can always work around anything. If you only have a few threads then it's fine really.
05. Please don't do this. It happens a lot. It may be easier but still. If you have another character already made and accepted please don't post -see so and so- for RP Sample. I don't want to go find your character and reread it. Just copy and paste it in your new topic. However if it's for a canon, you will need to write a new sample for them.
06. Respect all of the staff members. Being disrespectful to someone, especially someome with power over you, will not get you far.
09. You can request to become a staff member. But please don't keep asking and bothering everyone about it. Ask once and then let us know how you can help out like an audtition. We always need people who are awesome at making graphics for the site, and keeping everything in order. But it's also another big responsibility. That doesn't mean you can go around giving out orders. Admins and Mods are here to make sure everyone is having FUN.
10. NO SPAMMING! Don't join a thread just to say, "Hey, come join our thread!"
11. Don't bug a person saying, "WHY HAVEN"T YOU POSTED ON OUR THREAD! POST!" Try to post as soon as you can, and do not pester like this.
01. NO GODMODING, please & thanks and no mary sue-ing either. Don't know what these are? PM me or google it. and don't get all physic with your character. Pretend like you don't know a secret, or if something bad is going to happen to your character dont run away from it.
02. This site rating Is PG-13. Cursing is allowed, but not excessively. And no sex scenes. Fade to black works just fine.
03. PLEASE write something worth reading in your posts. Not just 1 liners. You must write a least one paragraph which is atleast seven discriptive sentances. But you are always welcome to write more. Also, if you are replying to someones thread please try to match what they have written.
04. One character per account. If you accidentally post as the wrong account then edit saying (sorry wrong account) or something and make sure that whatever character that is supposed to be talking name is used.
05. No chat speak. The only exception to this is in Cell Phones, Emails, and IMs. If you talk like this on all your other sites or whatever I don't care. It's hard for me to understand and looks ugly. This is not allowed in the in character threads nor the out of character threads.
06. Please use proper spelling and grammar. I understand if you make a spelling error. But it's also possible to go back and edit a post. Please capitalize the first letter of the first word in your sentance and all names. I expect you are above 6th grade and know spelling and grammar.
07. Posts should always be in third person and past tense. Exept when your character is talking.
08. If a character isn't claimed (such as...Nathan) then it is allowed for you to say 'Nathan approached and greeted so-and-so.' That isn't considered Godmoding. As long as you don't make a habit of doing that in every post, it's alright. Once the character is claimed though, you will not be allowed to do this.
09. Don't have crazy font colors in your posts. It's okay for character plotting, of course, but people might not want to read the posts if they are all a zillion different colors and sizes.
signatures and avatars;;
01. You must have both. Most people like to have a general idea of who they are talking to looks like. But you can take as long as you need to get a signiture and avatar. I know how hard it is to get good signitures, but avatars should be pretty easy. Get a avatar ASAP. The secret phrase is: Get off Duke's boat. Please work the secret phrase into either your character's history or rp sample. If you really can't find a signature, there are people here who will make one for you.
02. No huge signatures. You may have one big one that isn't any bigger then 500x250, two images that are around 250x250, or up to five icons. Text is okay in your signatures but don't put to much.
03. Avatars should not be bigger nor smaller then 100x100
04. Coding to center a signature is: [center*][/center*] without the *.
05. Absolutely no nudity.
c-box;;
01. Don't spam the c-box. Spam is small pointless annoying messages. Conversations are welcomed. That's what it's for. But absolutley no SPAM.
02. Also, no advertising. It's okay to have your site linked to your name, but don't draw attention to it. And no flat-out advertising, like saying "Hey people come to my site!" or anything related to that.
03. Lastly, no cursing or fighting. This is not tolerated at all. You will be suspended for a day or two if this happens and if it continues being banned from the site is an option.
your admins,
Ry
