THE RULES !
Just a quick and simple rundown. We'll make this as painless as possible. Rules are subject to change at any time. Most of this is common sense, so please, use it.
NO GODMODDING!
This one is really quite simple. Do not govern the actions of anyone else in your posts without their permission. This means things like landing a strike, grabbing someone, or even shaking their hand. Leave your posts open ended.
No Gary-Stu/Mary-Sues.
A character of this sort is one that is, by definition, perfect. This is something that we all must try to avoid, as it tends to make Role Playing rather bland. Everybody has flaws.
RESPECT
Please be respectful of your fellow writers. While you may or may not like what others write, keep in mind that their time and dedication went into it. And if, for whatever reason, your issues with something need to voiced, do not hesitate to contact a Moderator.
WAIT UNTIL YOU'RE APPROVED
This one should go without saying. You do not role-play before your character is both posted and approved. No exceptions.
(R) RATED THREADS
(R) Rated threads are threads with explicit gore or sexual content. Thare are also a priviledge, not a right. If you're going to partake in them, please consider the following.
You must be of age to start or post in them.
It's not our rule, it's proboards. Though they aren't exactly vigilant about this rule, we'd like to avoid any reason to have the site shut down. So please, keep it clean if you're not of age.
There is a limit to how many you can partake in.
Again, we don't want Proboards shutting us down because the site is not but filth. As such, you are permitted to be in 1 (R) thread for every 3 regular threads that you start yourself. There are no exceptions to this.
LITERACY
There really shouldn't be many noticable mistakes in your posts, thanks to all the spellchecking and autocorrecting software that's around. We understand that people make mistakes, but please review your posts at least once before posting.
SPAMMING
Don't. No double posting, no more than 5 straight comments in the c-box.
SIGNATURES
We are going to be very picky about this, so please read carefully. First, we would appreciate keeping your signature sizes simple, either 200x500, or 250x500. Nothing that stretches the page, or anything larger than 250. Failure to comply will result in an immediate warning in addition to the removal of your signature. We also ask that any additional text doesn't stretch your signature down further.
If you choose to use a signature, the following rule will always be in effect for you; your role-playing posts must be larger than your Signature. This means that if we take a ruler to our monitor and find your post is smaller than your signature, we'll be upset. Nothing is worse than scrolling down through a page that's more signature than text.
Signatures say a lot about you, and having a signature that was put together in a few minutes looks incredibly tacky. If you wish to have a more professional looking signature, please talk to someone on the site about having on made, or contact the site Admin, who will be more than happy to hook you up.
POSTING ORDER
In threads with multiple participants, please keep in mind that there does need to be order to who posts when. Simply put, you go in order of when you posted.
A, B, C, A, B, C, A, B, C, etc. If you wish a change in the order, please contact all participants of the thread prior to doing so.
