Follow these rules and you will be perfectly fine, break them and there will be consequences.
the main ones .
the main ones .
1. Spamming and / or Trashing the Site
Just don't do it. Okays? It's not polite and it's certainly won't impress us admins or others members if you are ruining this site. First incidence is a warning, second time a member is banned for a week. Third time - do you really want to know? Alright, deletion of that account. Spamming is basically double posting, one word posts etc. Need more clarification? PM me or one of the other admins.
2. Language and Grammar
We are a site for all levels of role play, even so we do not want to see any one word posts. They will be deleted unless fixed immediately. At least try to match the length of posts of the person you are role-playing with. No text speak. That means no words such as 'gr8', 'plz', 'luv', etc. It is annoying and takes away the formailty of the site.
3. Rating
This is more for experienced RPers so the rating is set at PG 13. That being said, I will not tolerate sex threads or threads with graphic gore and violence as they aren't allowed. While you may use 'shit' and 'hell' don't go overboard.
4. Respect other members!
Please, if you have a problem with someone, do not start a hate war. They really are not necessary and that do not add to the friendly atmosphere of the site. If you do have a problem with another member, PM an admin and they will sort it out with you and said member in the most mature and unbiased way possible.
5. The mods and admins say is final
I think this one is rather self explanatory, don't you? Respect us and we will respect you!
6. Joining a clan
There will be threads within the clan boards for joining. Post in those threads and no where else, all other threads will be deleted. Only the staff members of that clan may accept members.
the image ones .
1. Credit it
If someone makes you a signature or avatar, they probably spent quite a lot of time perfecting it for you. Therefore, do not claim it as your own! Credit it as their work. Similarly, don't steal others signatures / avatars / images. It's not very polite and we won't be lenient when we find out (and we will!) you will receive a warning.
2. Size
Oh, here we go. The size of your signature does not matter on one condition: it doesn't stretch the board. This is just a common courtesy on your part. Avatars must be 150 x 200 pixels. Also, do not post images larger than 500 x 500. However, post a link if you are absolutely dying to.
3. Content
No nudity, gore, graphic violence, offensive text or anything similar. End of story. Also, no anime characters.
the out-of-character ones .
1. Be polite
Yes, your character has permission to be an absolute cow. You, however, do not. There is no need to put down other members or trash the site when you are OOC. It's just rude.
2. Advertising
We have an advertising section. So why bother posting links to sites you want to in any other section of the board? There isn't any point.
the in-character ones .
1. Naming your character/s
Try to be interesting! While sometimes it is hard to find a name that really suits your characters, it is annoying to see Firepaw's walking around everywhere. Play around with it!
2. Limit to the number of characters
Simple; there isn't one, providing you keep every single one of them active. We don't want to see people making countless new characters & never bothering to develop their old ones.
3. NO powerplaying / godmodding
In other words; you do not control every single character on this board. The whole point of rping is interacting with other people! So do not make your characters all knowing of everything. As for god modding; just don't do it, okay? If you're unsure as to what it is; basically, it's when you determine the actions of another character. WRONG. You can say that is was a well aimed slap, but never say your character actually hit the other character. It is up to them to decide whether their character is involved.
4. Clan Jumping
You may not post in more than one clan on your account. The only exception would be if you asked a staff member about it and they approved. This rule even goes for leaders.
5. Characters
When you describe your cats make sure that they aren't perfect, include faults and such. Also, no unusual pelt or eye colors. If you are unsure of what a natural cat coloring may be, look it up.
thank you !
