General Rules
ONE) No Bashing. I will not have anyone bash others because of gender, race, religion, or anything else. It will not be tolerated on my forum. The first sign of bashing that I see, you are ultimately banned for life from this forum. Those who are being bashed through PMs, please report it to a staff member immediately.
TWO) Do not give out information. Yes, even on roleplaying sites it is very dangerous. Do not give out your phone number, address, or last name. Even if it's very common, like Smith, do NOT give it out.
THREE) Respect. Not everyone has respect for everyone or everything in this world, I understand that. But please respect the other person's feelings. Although you do not know the person well, please think of their feelings.
FOUR) Characters. You may have only one character per account. But the maximum amount of characters is four. Don't run off and use different aliases and e-mail addresses for more characters. Why do you need more than four? Well, if you want more than four, PM the admin and I'll see if you can handle having an abundance of characters.
FIVE) Passwords. The passwords for any board that you can not access, and you want to access. PM staff the name of the board, and the reason why you want to be in there.
SIX) Have Fun! I know this is a cliche rule, but eh. Do it.
Character Application Rules
ONE) Be Real. No Mary-sues or Gary-stus. No one is perfect.Character + imperfections = THE GREATEST CHARACTER EVER.
TWO) Applications. Do not start roleplaying until your character is accepted by a staff member.
THREE) Ranks. Keep the ranks that your character is, matching your character's age. Unless you want your character to be some sort of prodigy. If so, private message an admin as to why your character should be highly intellectual at a young age. The ranks only apply to characters in military-related positions.
FOUR) Face Claims. Your character MUST have a face claim. It can either be anime, or from a video game. [ Bringing ] No celebrities, or original art. We don't want anyone getting into a dispute over stolen art. If you need any help finding a face claim, just ask a staff member. I'm sure they'll be happy to help.
FIVE) Display Names. Once accepted, your display name should be changed to that of your character's, but in all capitals. i.e. BOB HOLMES
Roleplaying Rules
ONE) Ratings. Nothing above the PG-13 rating, unless it is in the Mature Board. You can access the board, only if you are 15+ or you believe you can handle the 'adult' content residing inside of it. This includes sex, blood and gore, and other rated R things. Even though it's only PG-13, I expect everyone to be mature.
TWO) Swearing. Yes I allow swearing, as everyone does it. But please be realistic when allowing your character to swear. I don't want to see every other word is a curse. That's not right.
THREE) God-modding. Absolutely not! God modding is the the worst form of illiterate writing there is. So please, don't do it.
FOUR) One-liners. God... Please no one-liners for your post. It proves that you are illiterate. At least a good two paragraphs.
FIVE) Location. You are only allowed to to Rp in four different locations, per character. Unless one of your characters is in a long drawn out fight to the death. You have no idea if your character is the one going to die, so please do not post anywhere but that one thread with that character.
SIX) Passwords. Yes... I have this rule twice. The password for the Character Application is hidden in the rules. There's three parts to it. Here's one: [ Sexy ]
SEVEN) OOC. It is acceptable, but not long drawn out conversations during your RP. It is only acceptable when you are establishing a point that someone had missed, or setting down a Posting order.
EIGHT) Posting Order. You must have a posting order if there is more then two people in the thread.
D and E are roleplaying together, and they are joined by F and G later on.
D -> E -> D -> E -> F -> D -> E -> F -> G -> D
I expect it too look like that when I check the threads.
Graphics and Advertising Rules
ONE) Signatures cannot exceed 500x300, and avatars cannot exceed 100x100. Also, do not post a large picture as your avatar. If you need it resized, just ask a staff member.
TWO) Advertising. If you advertise on our site, I expect to be able to go to your site and post in a guest-friendly advertising board. If I am unable to post in yours, then i am deleting your ad here.
THREE) Affiliating. Before affiliating with us, we expect to see our banner up on your site. [ Back ] If it is not there, we will not add you and we will reject your affiliation request. Also, follow the form provided. That's why it is there.
If I see anyone breaking these rules, you will be warned, but after a maximum of four warnings, you will be banned, depending on what you were warned for.
