the rules }

these are the general rules for the forum. all of these must be followed. hello, what's a forum without rules, eh? more will probably be added as time goes on, but for now this is it.


general rules

• you must treat everyone with respect. treat people the way that you want to be treated.
• please do not 'spam' the boards. meaning no useless posts, such as posting in someone else's roleplay thread 'hey, come reply to our thread' or something like that. it's just plain annoying.
• cursing outside of roleplay threads should be kept to a minimum, please. we don't want four thousand lines of 'shit' typed throughout the general board.
• racism, sexism, none of that will be accepted. in roleplay, it sometimes happens, yes, but none of that towards your fellow roleplayers.
• no nudity at all in pictures that are posted on the site.
• no flaming other members! meaning, do not send hate messages or anything like that to other messages. we don't want arguments here that'll ruin the atmosphere here. please PM a staff member if anything like this is going on.

roleplay rules

• there is a two paragraph posting minimum. two paragraphs or three hundred words. it's not that much. you can use Microsoft Word to figure it out.
• it's not reall necessary, but i would really prefer if everyone used size 1 font when they typed their replies. it just looks a lot neater.
• you must post in third person point of view. i'm not against anything in the biographies being in first person point of view, but roleplay posts must be third person.
• please make sure grammer and spelling is correct when posting. sure, a mistake here and there won't matter, but we don't so many mispelled words and gramatical mistakes that makes it hard to read. there's a spell check button for you to use!
• double posting isn't allowed in roleplay threads. please don't do that.
• no chatspeak in posts! we aren't on instant messanger. we are literal, it's easier and better to roleplay with. 'i dont want dis 2 b on da site'. it's just hard to read.
• no God-modding. that means no controlling other characters. you cannot know what the other person you are with in real life is going to do, so this should not be any different.
• this is a PG-13 rated roleplay. so, if anything that goes above that rating is to happen in a thread, please post -MATURE- or something similar to that in the title.
• following that rule, if it commences to sex, i would really like everyone to do the typical 'black out' that they do in movies. it saves us the trouble of accidently reading that. unless you and the other person agree to type it out. then we really would like a rating in the title.
• any pregnancies, suicides, killing off characters, or anything similar to that must be approved by me or another staff member. anything not approved by a staff member will cause you to recieve a warning.
• all face claims must be real people. anime and cartoon face claims will not be accepted.
• no Gary Stews or Mary Sues! that means no perfect characters! no one is perfect. if there is anything hinted at perfection, you will be asked to change the biography.

other rules

• everyone should have a signature and avatar to go with their character with a picture of your own face claim. if you cannot make one, see if someone can make one for you.
• only post advertisements in the plugging board. any advertising in boards or c box will not be allowed, guest or member.
• signatures cannot be bigger than 550x300. any bigger than that, the code set in will resize it, more than likely, but the text that shows up makes it ugly, so please keep it at that size.
• please be active. i know not everyone gets on every day and has time, but getting on at least two/three times a week and posting at least once would be nice. ( please put 'this is the end' where specified in the bio app )
• at activity checks, your account will be deleted if you are not active. email alerts will nto be sent, so you'll have to come back here on a weekly basis to check.
