No powerplying/Godmodding! This means that you cannot play as other people's characters. Do not let any of our staff catch you dong this. People worked hard to make their characters, and they are for their use only. A little extention to this rule is that you have to RP fairly. No dodging every attack, or killing a hoard of rats single-handedly without getting hurt.
Post replies worth posting! By this, I mean that I don't want to see a bunch of meaningless posts clogging up the boards. Most threads deserve at least one to two sentence replies, and Role Plays deserve no less than a paragraph (5-7 sentences)
Respect your fellow members! Please, treat every member with respect. Everybody from Staff members to the newest member deserves to be treated fairly.
No Mary/Gary Sues! This means that there will be no perfect characters! Your character can't be the most powerful person alive, or have amazing powers. This annoys people, including me.
Be active! Please, PLEASE be active! If you join on this site, I expect you to RP. If you join, and just go dead and never get on, your account WILL be deleted.
Keep everything on one account! I know that alot of RPG sites requite that you make a seperate account for each of your charries, but we require just the opposite. I don't want people to be decieved that we have alot of members if one person has, like, ten accounts. You are only allowed to have ONE account. as far as characters go, you are allowed to have three to begin with, and you can unlock another one every 100 posts. Or, you can make as many as you please if you are a staff member, or have approval from one.
Keep it PG-PG13! We don't want to scare off our younger members! I'd prefer if you keep the cussing to an absolute minimum, if not no cussing at all. I will allow sexual content, but do NOT describe it. Just imply that it happened, and skip it. If I see vivid descriptions, and/or alot of cussing, the post will be deleted, and you'll receive a warning and/or suspension. blood and gore is allowed, but don't go overboard.
Message Boards - Use of the message boards are free on most sites, but their administrators reserve the right of removal of any offensive, insulting or inappropriate posts. Common sense is the rule of the day with the boards. Personal information shared, slander, or illegal material are common reasons for posts being removed. You can wind up banned from Message boards too if you violate these rules.
False Reporting - Falsely reporting another role-player for inproper behavior on a site or in a home may get you banned from the site you are on. Don't let personal vendetta's get you in trouble. This sort of behavior also runs the safety stops in place for everyone. If every report to a moderator or site owner has to be analyzed to ensure its valid, the goal those rules were put there for in the first place are undermined.
Spamming/Hacking - No Java, Javascripts, VBscripts or Spamming/Flooding the rooms with html codes.
Impersonating Staff - No Impersonating/Ghosting any staff members or chatters
Harassment - NO harassing/threats towards anyone ever. Harassment and Stalking are illegal in every state, and most countries. If it's illegal to do in your hometown, you can't do it here either. Most sites have a zero tolerance policy and will post the offenders name and alias' on message boards to warn others of the existence of such people.
Personal Information- No giving out any personal information. This includes names, phone numbers, adresses, and zip codes. We do this for the safety of our members, as we don't wish anyone to be harmed. So please, keep all information to yourself!
