GENERAL RULES
~ Be polite. This means to everyone and not just staff. OOC rudeness and fights go in the category too. I will not tolerate this at all, it mentally tears the site apart. If you wish to fight, do not do it where I can find out.
~ Remain active. This too tears the site limb form limb and slowly kills it. It sounds like war, but thats what happens when you don't get on. Please get on at least once a week, more would be better, but that is a minimum.
~ Do your best always. Don't post one liners. I was a noob once and did that and the admin hated me for it. I don't want to hate you, but trust me I get mad now with one liners... and I know others do too. If you post one liners you will get a warning, 3 warnings and your out. Like baseball. And if you don't do something to indicate talking, thats a warning as well.
~ Try making your posts look more professional. Do a signature thing like adding your avvie at the beginning, and I won't tell you mine. I personally like the smaller font. I think it looks neater and way more organized.
~ Swearing and PG13+. Swearing is Okay, but try not to totally "fluent" in it. Please try keeping it down a bit. PG13+... Put [RR] in the title. Double R's will mean R Rated, and not Reserved. If I must I will put a board for that, but just put [RR] in the title. When [RR] is in the title, I will move the thread.
~ Power playing and God modding. Power playing is NOT okay. I hate it. If you don't know what Power playing is, it is when you play someone Else's character. Not good... and God modding. This is when you act invincible. Here I go quoting Hannah Montana, Nobody's Perfect! [So no Mary-Sue's Either!]
~ Obey the admins.This means that what we say goes and end of story. If you disobey us, then you will be warned 80%. It seems like a lot, but the makers should get the final word. So just obey us!
~ Respect everyone! This means don't around telling everyone, my character is dumb, it's so weird and annoying. That's respecting yourself when you don't do that. Respect others. Don't tell other people that they are dumb and so is their character. You could get warned 50% for this.
~ Only one character to an account. Do not ask me if you can just have 2. No. When people get out of hand with their characters on one account, some tend to go inactive and that leads up to the forum going inactive. You can have as many accounts as you'd like, but be sure that they are all active. You must post with the correct character on the correct account too.
JOINING RULES
~Joining, as in making an account is the easy part of this step. You still need to make your character.
~ If your character is not created/started within 4 days of your joining date the account will be deleted and if you wish to try again, your welcome to make a new account.
~ When making your character's bio, please be sure your display name is already the first and last name.
~ Please go over it, read it and make sure it makes sense. You must fill out the whole thing... I'm a strict admin.
~ Then be sure you go to celeb claim if you are using a celeb and claim it. You HAVE to do this if you are using somebody known because then we won't have identical people running around.
~Password at end of your application is (cupcake) The password might change whenever I get sick of seeing, so check every so often.
POSTING RULES
~ All posts must be at least 30 words long. I have put in a code that will prevent the one liner things. As said in the general rules... I hate them.
~ Give yourself a style for posting. Write in third or first person (no second!), put avatars at the top, make the font smaller, do something to make yours... you.
~ Please do your best to post as long as you can... sometimes it's hard and I understand. Please though... describe scenes, everything.
