Rules
[/I][/size][/color]1. This is the most important rule. Respect. Here, respect is a huge thing. Respect everyone; the staff, the members, the guests, everyone.
2. When registering, you can sign up using any name, though we'd prefer it if you kept it simple and similar to your characters name. As soon as you're registered, change your display name to your characters first name in ALL CAPS, such as: LIZZIE. Punctuation in your display name is allowed. Numbers are not allowed in display names. Just the name, please.
3. From the day you've registered, you have three days to post an application. Once you've posted it, you have five days to complete it. The applications aren't too long or too hard, so it shouldn't take that long to finish. If you're going to be away and won't be able to finish your application within the allotted time, either PM a staff member or post on your app to say so. If you haven't posted your app after three days, your account will be deleted. If you haven't finished your app after five days, it will be deleted.
4. If you're going to be away for more than a week, or if your posting speed is going to be down, please post in the absences board so we know. If you just disappear for two weeks without a notice, your account will be deleted and your character will be up for grabs.
5. This is a PG-13 site, as stated by Proboards ToS. We allow some swearing, sex scenes are allowed but not overly detailed, light drugs, excessive drinking etc. Kissing, and touching is allowed.
6. When roleplaying, please keep in mind we have a minimum word count of 100 words. It is not hard to take a little time and post 100 words.
7. Please roleplay in past tense, third person. Unless in an IM thread or something similar, it should be formatted as is stated above.
8. Liquid time is allowed here. That means you can be in as many threads in as many different times at one that you want to!
9. Absolutely no god-modding or power-playing. You should all know what this means, so I won't go into depth about them, but basically no controlling the other person's character and no all powerful characters.
10. If you want your character to die, or get pregnant, there are a few conditions. First, you must be an active roleplayer with at least 20 posts, not just in game threads and plotters. We will be checking. Second, if asking to get killed, you must have a willing roleplayer who will kill you. This roleplayer cannot be you, obviously. This will need to be roleplayed out, as well. If you want to become pregnant, you need to have someone who will be the father, even if nobody know's who the father is.
11. There is to be no bullying on this site. Absolutely no bullying. If anyone gets wind of any bullying going on or you are being bullied, PM a staff member immediately and the situation will be dealt with.
12. We understand that sometimes people simply clash and you don't get on. In such a case, we would advise you to avoid this person as much as possible. If you find yourselves having to roleplay together, keep it polite, people. Arguing will not be tolerated.
13. Everyone must have either a signature or avatar, though both are better! People would like to know what your character looks like while roleplaying with them!
14. Maximum avatar size is 100x100.
15. Minimum signature is 100x100 and maximum is 600x600. Anywhere in between is fine.
