RULES:General Site Rules:::
-There is fighting allowed on this RP site but only as long as it’s character fighting only. If it’s real fighting…then you will be faced with punishment. If both parties are guilty…then both parties will be punished.
-NO GODMODING! If you don’t know what godmoding is…here it is: godmoding= controlling another character that isn’t yours. Example: Your character is blank. Blank’s writing: “Blank looked at the girl as if she was crazy. The girl slapped him hard across the face and she stomped off.” Now…if the girl had written that she slapped him in the previous post then yes, you can write it. However, if the girl did not slap Blank at any time in the thread and Blank wrote it then that is godmoding. So, NONE OF THAT!
-Teenage pregnancy, meaning 17 and under, is NOT allowed at all! Suicide, abuse (child abuse, relationship abuse, etc.) and rape are NOT allowed unless it was in the history. If it isn’t in the history then it never happened and never will happen. Drugs, younger and older relationships, cutting are allowed BUT! There are specific rules for these. Drugs are okay but do not do hardcore drugs, meaning that pot is okay. Just no hardcore drugs. Younger and Older relationships can be 16 and up so 15 and under can NOT be with anyone that is older than 17. Cutting is allowed but it can NOT be too hardcore, meaning a character can’t cut a huge gash into their leg or what have you. So don’t be hardcore with it. Also, just because it’s allowed doesn’t mean to use it way out of control. For example, if your character takes drugs…don’t have that character take drugs all the time, by all the time…that means in every thread s/he’s using drugs. Also, if you want to kill off a character for a plot idea, let the admin know so the admin can approve of it.
-Please be active. If you go 30 days without posting then you will get deleted. No ifs, ands, or buts. If you know you are going to be gone for more than 30 days, post in the absent board so you don’t get your character(s) deleted.
-You may have as many characters as you want as long as you keep them active. If one goes inactive...it gets deleted.
-If your character gets deleted you may remake them but only if you put in an absence board request that exceeds past the 30 days. If you don’t post within the 30 days then you will not be able to remake them. Sorry but that’s how it is. However, if you are suddenly pulled away from the site and you cannot post your absence, then you can let the admin know what is going on through anyway you can since the admin will put up many contacts.
-Don’t be lazy! Do not use other characters to RP for other characters.
-Do not argue with the Admin. We made this site for your enjoyment and we are also in charge of this site. Have a question for us, ask. But don’t argue. You don’t like it, leave. If you argue you will face punishments.
-SWEARING IS ALLOWED! Explicit stuff isn’t allowed! Things for 13+ are NOT allowed! If you want to do things rated R then take it to the emails and not the PM emails on the site. Do it through your own email such as yahoo, aim, gmail or whatever you use but NOT on the site.Graphic Rules:::
-Avatars may only be 100X100
-Banners may not go past the width of 500px or the height of 350px.
-NO NUDITY! Guys that are shirtless are allowed. If you’re signature has the character naked and if the character is covering the…“inappropriate” parts then that is allowed.
-Do not, do not use these graphics to link to any site of yours.Advertising Rules:::
-Only advertise in the advertising board.
-Do not send a PM (personal message) to someone with advertising in it unless that said someone had asked for it.
-DO NOT SPAM IN THE CHATBOX! THAT IS WHAT THE OOC BOARDS ARE FOR!Posting Rules:::
-Posts need to have a minimum of 100 words. There is a code in place to enforce this but this does not apply to the OOC boards.
-Post in third person and past tense.
-Look at the previous posts and pay attention to them. Do not write something random. Make sure it makes sense to what is going on with the post. If someone is talking of frogs…don’t start talking about food or cats or something random like that unless your character eats frogs or has a cat that attacks frogs. You get the idea.
-Don’t change the size of the font. The font can be changed but only if it is really necessary. Like if your character is writing a letter, you may choose a cursive type of writing but make sure it can be read.
-There is a limit of only one blockquote.
-Don’t type like you are IMing someone or if you’re texting someone. No, “I <3 u!” or “u r aw3som3”. No…this is an RP site. You must write like a professional. It’s okay to make grammar mistakes but no silly little shortcuts!
-Don’t change the color text in your posts. There will be plenty of room for that in OOC boards so do it there and not in regular posts.Character Rules:::
-There can be Asian characters or any other race that you want. We’re pretty wide range about this so please don’t abuse it.
-Twins, triplets or whatever you want are allowed but make sure you have the same PB’s for all those related characters unless they have different fathers which in itself is not a possibility. It is okay to have different PBs for twins or so but please choose ones that at least look similar! Of course before doing such a thing, you must consult with the admin first.
-No Mary Sues or Gary Stus. That takes away the fun for other people since your character isn't going to be liked by every single person.
-You may have as many characters as you want, but you must have different accounts for each character. And your account name must have your character's name in proper lettering. Richard Alexander's account name isn't going to say rickyalex or richardalexander, it's going to say Richard Alexander.
Now that you are finished reading these lovely rules, you will have to prove to the admin that you have read these said rules. To prove that you have read these rules, you will have to respond to a link that is inside the first few rules (you will find it under graphics rules and it begins with an N) copying this phrase and pasting it onto the board that the link leads you too.
Phrase: “I [insert name] pledge that I have indeed read these rules and will abide by them to the best of my abilities. If I do break one of the rules, I accept that it is entirely my fault and will face the consequences. I understand that it is, in no way, the fault of the admin or staff that I am in trouble but I will keep to the rules to the best of my ability.
[Insert Name]”
