SITE RULES !

[P&P ADMIN ACCOUNT]

rules;;

[/size]

I know, I know. Nobody wants them, but everyone needs them. Rules help the site run more smoothly, and keep everybody on the same page. Failure to follow the rules will result in the warning, and eventual banning of a member. Please don't let that member be you. :]

[/b] Remember the golden rule. You know, do unto others as you would want others to do unto you, and all that jazz. Be polite, be nice, and if you have a problem, either take it to PMs or tell a staff member. It's not tattling, it's preserving the community. Difference!
o2.) Respect the staff. We're not here to lord over you. We're here to provide a fun role play environment. If you have a problem with a decision or the way something is being done, politely address it in PMs. I'm sure we can come to an understanding.
o3.) You must be at least thirteen years of age. This is not only our rule, but a part of the Proboards TOS that you agree to upon registration.
o4.) Please don't stretch out the boards! The larger the graphic, the harder it is for the page to load. We'd like to not discriminate against Dial up users here, so please keep signatures to 500x300 at most. If your graphics exceed this limit, it will be either deleted or resized by a staff member with or without warning.
o5.) Keep language tasteful. Topics should NOT include explicit sex, drugs, and alcohol, all of which are against Proboards TOS. Keep swearing tasteful. Even in character, don't swear every other word (I mean, if a piano fell on their head... sure, I guess.). Some people seriously don't like to read that, even in a role play. Despite this we ask that if you have threads that contain violence and such or other R - rated material you make mention of it at the start of your post so that people will be able to skip the thread if they wish to ignore and avoid such things.
[/ul]character creation:[/color]

[/b] Every member is allowed three characters upon joining the site.
o2.) To get a fourth, fifth, etc. character, you must reach twenty five in character posts on all your characters.
o3.) No Mary-Sues, or any of the like. All characters should have weaknesses and strengths both.
o4.) Once celeb, one character. Remember that. No two characters can have the same celebrity representative, save for twins, triplets, and those sort. Celebrities should not be reserved unless the character is in the making.
[/ul]role playing:[/color]

[/b] no godmoding. Also known as autoplaying, and a number of other things, but the concept is the same. Your cannot control the actions of another character. If you absolutely must, please obtain permission from the other role player and make a note that permission was granted in your post. If this is not done, or a complaint is reported to the admins, you will be called out on it.
o2.) We understand that sometimes muse dies, or things happen offline that take you away from posting. But we ask that you try to post at least once every shift or so, or at least make one of the admins aware of a prolonged absence.
o3.) If you claim a canon character, you must keep them active. It's not fair to others who could have applied for those characters, and they are relatively important considering.
o4.) We do not require a word count, but simply ask that you try to post as much in return to the person that posted to you. If the person you are RPing with post a 300 word post we'd like to see you attempt to give a 300 word reply. It's only fair to the person you'd be RPing with.

[/ul]chat box:[/color]

[/b] Keep the drama away. We're all friends here. And it makes others, old and newcomers alike, uncomfortable to be in the middle of a fight. So take it to PMs, IMs, or just drop it.
o2.) Please keep l33t speak to a minimal. LOL and BRB are one thing, but we are a literate RPG. Please reflect that.
o3.) Do not spam the chat box. We have a board that is for advertising, accessible to guests.


Rules may be added so keep an eye on them!!
