The Rules
[/center][/font]We expect you to follow them. It would be most appreciated. If we catch you not following a rule, you will get a warning [written up], but if we catch you a second time, its off to the principal's office for you. There your fate will be decided upon.
Roleplaying: It is required that you apply before you start roleplaying. If you roleplay and your character has not been accepted, you will be wrote up. If you continue to do this, then you could possibly be banned for a selected amount of days.
PG-15 is what this forum is rated. Yeah, we know- not your average ranking, but it'll do. Don't be too perverted or sexual past the content of what a fifteen year olds eyes should be seeing. If you are a member on this site, we ask that you are at least thirteen years old.
Graphics are a good idea to show what your character looks like. If you are incapable of getting a signature or icon, we have designers that will be glad to take your requests.
Drugs and Babies are not allowed to happen here. If you get caught using drugs or your character is pregnant, you will be written up with a warning. [This applies for nudity, pornography, suicide and ideas to that extent.]
No Arguing or Racial Post will be tolerated. If you wish to argue then PM each other, we really don't want to see someone fuss. If the staff or I see it, then both person's or if more people are involved, will be banned for a short time.
We are asking you to please be respectful of other members. Please show them respect. A few "please post here’s" are ok, but if you keep doing this after the first 3 times in one day/night, please expect to be warned. Its quite annoying to always having someone every time you turn around saying things like “Please Post here, or Would you please post here?” We will post when we have the time and chance. And be respectful. No one likes to be ordered around and especially those who are nice enough to rp with you. Just keep this in mind when you’re impatient. Care about others and their feelings. If they are currently doing something important that you may not know about, they will post when they can, no excessive emails or annoying comments about posting.
No one-liners. No one word or one sentence replies unless you put a lot in the sentence or you explain what your characters feeling and then use the one-liners. We can't play off of a scene with hardly anything to work with. We also can't reply and can't have a decent conversation between characters if you do that. If you are caught using a one liner without a good cause then you will be warned in your post of the usage and if it happens again you will be banned for a day.
English is the language that we are using; you should use it as well or your posts will be deleted.
Also in connection with this rule, please use proper punctuation. There are such things as periods, commas, and also semi colons. These are strongly advised to be an excessive habit that we beg of you to use. We can't understand what you are trying to say when it’s in one long paragraph, and there are no breaks with a period after a thought is processed and finished.
Members may have Multiple Accounts. But no one enjoys getting halfway into a plotline and then having a main character disappear because that member is 'too busy writing another character'. We ask that you be realistic about how much time you can devote to another character before you register. We also have a limit of no more than 3 characters per member. If you apply for a 4th character we will likely not accept their bio.
NO SPAMMING!! If you want to advertise your sites and things like that then I don't mind. But if you advertise your site and just disappear then it will be removed and deleted from our archives and threads. We do have affiliates and we will be happy to link your button if you link our site as well. If we still have your button up and you no longer have ours up I will delete the button from our board. It's not fair to get free hostage from here and we aren't getting any in return. And also post the thread in the appropriate place. We have a set board for this type of advertising.
Do the Admins think they are God or what?!" HAHA oh good lord! No, we certainly don't, but we do, however, have the unenviable task of organizing and maintaining harmony between the members and their grades. The rules we have in place are there to create harmony between members and to take out those who are insulting and disruptive to the purpose of the site. Anyway, the point is that if you do not agree with the rules in place, we are more than happy to invite you to find a site that better suits you.
It is also unwise to insult the Admin staff or GMods if you do not like the rules. By registering an account at the RP site you specifically agree to read the guidelines and adhere to them. And just to make it even more final then we have tried to state above, the choices and actions taken by the Admins and GMods are final! Don't question them. You will get an explanation of the action, which is put forth, but we will not have a long discussion. We are fair and we adhere to our rules, so we ask you to do the same! We won't be unfair and give you a crazy reason as to why we put forth our power, but if you are in the situation then you must have broken our rules. So we had to put for action.
