((NOTE: I know these rules may LOOK long, but they've got their humour. I'd really appreciate it if you could read over them. Scanning threw them is fine, just get the main points. Most importantly: PLEASE FOLLOW THEM!!! ))
***This website is in ENGLISH only, by orders of Proboards. But if someone has a character that doesn't speak English, we can talk about it, and you'll just put a translation underneath the actual post.
Example:
Jimmy smiled. Je parle francais. He grinned.
((I speak French.))
***All members should respect each other at all times. I don't want to see posts about how you hate each other, how you hate their Role Play, etc. No RL fighting. We're all here to make friends and Role Play, not create enemies and war between the members. If there is a problem between two people, let me know IMMEDIATLY and I'll fix it up. Please be fair and courteous to others and their beliefs.
***You may have as many characters as you like (I can tell you that' I'll have a whole army eventually), but you must try to keep them active. You can have them all on one account, or on separate accounts as you wish. But I find one account is easier. Just make sure we know which character you're talking about. Make it clear.
***All postings in character should be done in the third person, and any OOC chat in first person. Clearly state that you are speaking in OOC if you are.
Example: ((OOC: Yo 'sup! Haven't RPed with you in a long time!))
***To make sure that we can read what you have written, please write in full English, and use the nifty spell checker that is at the bottom of every ‘Reply Box’ next to the ‘Post’ button.
TEXT TALK IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I don’t want to see things like ‘2morow’ instead of ‘tomorrow’ or ‘gr8’ instead of ‘great’.
~~EXCEPTION!!!! It is a note saying things like. '2morrow. Hangman's Tree.' ETC,~~
***This site does involve the death of people. Ghosts, Monsters, Maybe Vampires, the list goes on! PLEASE NO gory/bloody pictures or overrated posts speaking tons about blood splurting everywhere. Nasty. A little is allowed / tollerated, don't go overboard thanks.
The Site is Rated PG ~ PG-13. I'd accept a few things, such as a few bad words (not all) and violence, yadda yadda, but not all of them. Try to keep it towards the PG-13 rating, okay?
***Do not post any offensive material. Absolutely no discrimination or offensive terms.
***“NO content promoting the use of illegal drugs, alcohol, sex, pornography, nudity, or any other form of adult content, profanity, hate, "spam," fraud, racism, mlm, pyramid schemes, or promote any illegal activity.” Quote from PROBOARDS.
***ANYONE who accepts a character profile who is NOT an admin will get a little talking too. Only I have the power to accept characters UNLESS I PERSONALLY HAVE GIVEN PERMISSION TO ANOTHER. I WILL READ EVERYONE’S PROFILE NO MATTER WHO ACCEPTS IT.
***Try to make posts a minimum of one paragraph. Talk about your characters feelings and actions. Make it interesting for the person replying. More detail allows for better Role Play, and makes things a WHOLE lot easier.
***Please be as active as you can. If you don't advise that you are taking a break for a long time then your account will be deleted after a certain amount of time. (No worries! We'll e-mail or PM you a lot first!) So let us know before!
~WHILST ROLEPLAYING~
***Your character is not god, and can therefore be hurt and get tired, need food water, clothing (if human) and things like that. You can’t go out in the arctic in your bathing suit and survive; with an exception of those who are already dead.
No Godmodding or power playing is allowed whatsoever. Learn about this HERE .
***If you are Role Playing a fight, godmodding still applies. You CANNOT HARM the character you are fighting against in your initial post.
See the godmod/powerplaying guide HERE .
***Give everyone a chance to post so as not to have anyone get left behind. But if someone hasn't posted within a while then you may bypass them but try to leave it so that person could jump back in the thread once they return if they do.
***Interact with other characters and members! How can you Role Play if you stay alone in one spot? Move around! Have fun!
Note: All characters, stories, Art, FanFiction, anything other members create is THEIR WORK. There will be no taking advantage of other people's work. Ask them first before you use anything of their writtings or drawings.
ALL MEMBERS, INCLUDING ADINISTRATORS, MUST GO BY THESE RULES. ANY RULE BREAKING WILL RESULT IN CONSEQUENCES, DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU DID. I HAVE GIVEN EVERYONE A FAIR WARNING.
(Believe me; It doesn’t happen often. I don’t want this site going down the toilet bowl, but I don’t want people to feel uncomfortable, have battles in OOC, etc. I’m here to have fun, and help you guys have fun too. Things will go smoothly, you will see, no matter how scary I may seem after reading this. XD I like to have fun, but with no rules, it becomes disaster. Anyway... *cough * back to being scary.)
ALL MEMBERS WILL RECEIVE A WARNING TO LET THEM KNOW OF THEIR MISTAKE AND TO CORRECT IT. (Probably Three...) RUN OUT OF YOUR WARNINGS, AND ACTION WILL BE PUT INTO PLACE.
If there are problems regarding how other people are role-playing, or how it's going, or if you're uncomfortable with how other characters are treating you in the RP, please contact any Administrator or me. I do not want you to feel uncomfortable or left out in any way.
(But it will not, because the other admins and I have eyes on the back of our heads.)
I understand that not everyone will check their spelling and things like that, I don't blame you. Everyone makes mistakes even I do. These rules wont be enforced hard at times, everyone gets a chance, or two, or maybe three.
IF A MEMBER SEES ANYONE BREAK THESE RULES, THEY WILL REPORT TO ME AT ONCE, OR TO ANOTHER ADMINISTRATOR THAT WILL REPLY TO ME AT ONCE.
