Account Rules
1. You are required to have your character name as your account name. Therefore we do not have any iluvme22. There are to be NO numbers in names. Name should be your characters first and last name. You can add funny effect to them or whatever... like ~JJ Hawk~ that's fine... no numbers though. Okay.
2. Before joining make sure you know that you want to join the site. We do not like inactive members. SO don't join, create a character and then never show up again. It's extremely annoying. Okay?
Out Of Character Rules
1. Everyone likes to be respected, right? Therefore please be respectful to all other members, staff or not.
2. If you have a problem with another player take it to the staff. Don't try to solve it on your own. That just causes more problems. Don't argue in the cbox about stuff either. Seriously, message one of the staff. They'll fix whatever the issue is...
3. Do Not curse in OOC. It will get you in trouble, and cause arguments, so don't do it. Cursing is only aloud mildly in IC. Kay?
4. Try to stay off touchy subjects like religion, race, ect. in the cbox and elsewhere in OOC. Again, it generally just causes arguments...
5. Listen to the staff. They make the laws here. Don't ask someone something and then go ask another staff member the same thing because you didn't get the answer you wanted. We're all on the same page, therefore, you'll get the same answer.
6. Mild cursing is allowed anywhere on the site. Please don't abuse this though.
Posting Rules
1. This is a PG-13 rated site. Therefore extreme gore, or anything else graphically gross, is not allowed. It will get you banned and possibly get your IP address banned. You are allowed to have bloody fights and whatever... as long as it would be considered PG-13 it's fine. This is only because of proboards TOS. I don't want to get the site deleted because someone had to post disgusting and unnecessary junk on here.
2. As for sex scenes... anything past kissing is not allowed. Meaning if clothes start coming off, end the thread or black out. Kay?
3. There is a word post minimum of 120 words. You may be slightly under occasionally, but not all the time. It's not that hard to write that much if you think about it. Just be descriptive. If you can't get the limit message a staff member and someone will help you out.
4. Post in second person i.e.
She walked to her car. [second person]
I walked to my car. [first person]
Use SECOND person ONLY!
5. Cursing is allowed in IC just like OOC. Please don't go overboard though. Preferably only a few cuss words per post. You will be in trouble if ever other word is a cuss word. Okay? That's just bad grammar.
6. Use Spell-check! It's there for a reason. So use it.
Character Rules
1. You must fill out the application completely and clearly. Spell-check it and ask if you don't understand a field. Do Not skip parts. Your character will not be accepted if you do. OK?
2. DO NOT add or change anything in the application. That will make the admin very mad.
3. No perfect characters! There is a flaw section, and you are expected to fill it in with reasonable flaws.
4. Make sure you read through all the cliques and stuff as you are required to have a clique on your application.
5. Each character is required to have their own account. i.e. You would have Bob Marks and Larry Joe on two separate accounts. Okay?
6. You may have as many characters as you would like. But keep them active or they will be deleted. Active is considered posting with them at least twice a week in my opinion. Got it?
7. Everyone is required to have a signature/avatar and a celebrity face claim. Claims are on a first come first serve basis. There is no reserving faces. You get what you get. If you need a signature made you can go on many RPG help sites and get one, or some members will probably have a studio on the graphics board where you can get one made for you.
these rules are subject to change at any time without warning. check back often for new rules. <3 Aero
