These are the rules. Follow them or leave!
I will be ok if you are new but if you break the rules and know your doing it I will warn you. If you do it again, I will give you a strike.
Three strikes and your out!
No Spamming – Spamming can mean a number of things. A
message that is offtopic, and doesn’t pertain to the thread it is
posted in. A message posted with the sole intent of raising post count is spam. A one-liner, or a post containing one line of text, can usually be considered spam. A post that adds nothing to the thread, or is poorly thought out and put together, is spam. Travel thread abuse is spam, and will be treated very harshly. These examples certainly don’t cover every eventuality, and are just that, examples. It is the prerogative of the Mods and Admins to determine what is and isn’t spam.
Also, no double posting – posting more than once in a row
in the same topic under the same account or IP address – this will be considered spam, unless a suitable amount of time, about 6 hours, has passed. There may be certain exceptions to this rule, but that decision is the prerogative of the Mods.
Roleplay considerately with others – We are here, as a
community, to have fun. When roleplaying, you must always keep this in mind. First and foremost, you must never do anything that effects another’s character unless you are reasonably sure that they do not mind. This extends to non-battle situations as well. If someone’s character has a hood over their face, and their face is supposed to be
hidden, do not make your character catch a glimpse of it without their consent. If someone is eavesdropping on a conversation, don’t make your character spot them immediately or unrealistically. On the other hand, if there is a supposedly private conversation going on, don’t make your character eavesdrop, unless you believe there is reason for it to be all right.
In the end, I couldn’t possibly give enough examples to cover
everything – just try to use your common sense, and don’t disrupt other people’s plans or stories, and treat their posts and they themselves with respect.
No flaming, profanity, racial slurs – This rule is self-evident, and means just what it says. For those of you who are unaware, flaming is the term used to refer to insults, or saying
anything with the intent of causing hurt.
No inappropriate RPing or posting – This place is
family-friendly, to use the term. The occasional curse in your
characters’ dialogue is acceptable, within reason, but don’t overdo it.
Having things such as rape, graphic torture, explicitly detailed sex,
incest, graphic gore or description of wounds, and other things along those lines are against the rules and will be heavily punished. Some ofthese things can be powerful influences in a story, but they should always be heavily downplayed, and, in most of these cases, dropped altogether.Signature limits – You cannot have a banner larger than 500x100 pixels, though you are allowed to have up to two of these banners. You are also allowed a few lines of text. This part of the rule is a bit flexible, within reason. More text is allowed if you have smaller images, or only one image, or some combination of the two.
No Rent-a-modding - Many members, when they see
rulebreaking or double-posting or something they perceive to be bad in some way take it upon themselves to hand out chastisement. That is called rent-a-modding, and it is not allowed. Unless you are a Mod or Admin, you do NOT have the authority to try to enforce our rules, not even verbally.
Punishments – Depending on the severity of a
rule-breaking, you will be given a strike. Three strikes earn you a
week-long ban. Six earn a permanent ban. Other punishments may be administered at the discretion of the Mod council.
Mod or Admin power abuse – If you believe a Mod or Admin
is abusing their position in some way, whether it is giving unjust
punishments or acting as if certain rules do not apply to them, notify another Mod or Admin.
Thats it really. But I must say. NO POWER PLAYING. do not take control and make other peoples characters do things. I will get very angry. Also God Characters are naff. You should start with a weak character and build them up slowly it makes more of a stroy line.
