General Site&Account Rules
[/font][/size]- Respect all members. Anyone caught ignoring this rule will be immediately suspended for a period of time. If it happens again, it will be for good. (Now, teasing all in good fun is a different story…)
- Please don't spam the site or anyone.
- Respect staff decisions. If you believe a decision was made improperly, or unfairly, you may contest it. However, don’t be a jerk, and the final call is made by staff members.
- Literacy is important in an RP, especially one based entirely on typed entries! Everyone makes mistake but if you are not comfortable with your ability to spell please use a spell check and do your best to use proper grammar. There will be absolutely no chat-speak in any posts taking place in the actual RP, it’s a no-no, just don’t do it, and please have the courtesy to type correctly, none oF tHiS. Please note, no one speaks in a perfectly grammatically correct manner so if you’re character has poor grammar in dialogue it is perfectly legit.
- Homosexuality in any fashion (Gay/Bi/Lesbian) is acceptable and welcomed. Please if you plan to make a canon character gay discuss the reasoning with a moderator. All three mods must accept it and if it is not approved please don’t make a fuss over it. Any and all discrimination for sexuality against a user, in or out of character, whether it be against being gay or straight will be punished. If it is necessary for a post discuss it with the user and make sure you aren’t hurting anyone’s feelings.
- And that of course, brings us to the next rule: no explicit material. We, as staff, do not mind if explicit relations are necessary for your characters; however, we wish to comply with ProBoard’s terms of service, which state clearly nothing of sexual nature may be posted. We ask you to consult a mod if it is necessary for your character’s and if they deem so please move to an outside server (E-mail, Livejournal, or otherwise). Also, to comply with state and country laws we ask that if you are under the age limit for your area please do not even ask to be involved in something sexually explicit.
- Please, regarding the previous rules and for other reasons, read the disclaimers.
- You may apply for characters with one account, however, if you are accepted please use a separate account to post with each character.
- Please do not stretch the board with your character picture.
- Maximum signature size is 500x500 pixels.
- Activity checks will be put out when the staff feels necessary.
Posting&Character Rules
[/font][/size]- No ['godmoding'] or 'powerplaying', the reason should be obvious!
- Canon characters should be canon. Now, I want everyone to feel free to make each character their own in some small way but if you’re playing a canon, keep them as canon as possible.
- All IC roleplaying should be done in third person, past tense.
- Please put your character's speaking text in bold or underline it. Unfortunately we request you not use a different colour as too many people take this as an opportunity to blind other RPers.
- Please do not take excessively plot changing steps without consulting the staff.
- Cursing is absolutely allowed in RP because people, especially some of the canons, do curse but use it in context and don’t curse directly at other members. Also, keep in mind the site’s PG-13 rating.
- Characters may only be killed with the permission of both the killer and the one to be killed; all canon characters should discuss it with a mod! If you simply wish to leave us you don’t have to die, we can have someone adopt, okay?
- We have a minimum posting limit of 150 words, but we love description and character insight so write as much as you can!
- Our staff is obviously not going to be able to know every single anime, manga, or game people wish to apply for characters from so we may get a trusted opinion on OC's from worlds we are not familiar with, that being said, please don't try to slip extreme Mary-Sues or Gary-Lous past us simply because we do not know the ins and outs of that world.
