In General
1- Be Active – We ask that if you create a character please try to post regularly and not just once or twice a month. Now I of all people understand that sometimes you get writers block or you just can’t get motivated to post and when that happen just post in the Intro/Exit you are taking a hiatus from posting and let us know and those who you are in a thread with know we will all understand.
2- You may have as many characters as you can handle Rping at once, but you must create a separate account for each character. Keep in mind our first rule “Be Active” if you get overwhelmed we may ask you to delete a character.
3- Be respectful of your staff members, as well as the other members of the site. If you are being disrespectful to people remember your life on this site doesn’t have to be easy.
4- No asking for a staff position, we have certain standards we watch for among all who join the site, if you have the potential to be a staff member you will eventually receive a PM asking if you would like a probationary staff position.
5- Absolutely no spamming, if you spam a thread you will be banned no debating or arguing about it. We do have a spam board for all your spamming needs, however it does need to follow all the other rules.
6- Nothing over PG-13, and that means Porn too. If anything like that gets posted on the site you will be banned from site.
7- We ask that once your character gets accepted that you change your display name to match that of your character’s full name, In 1 of two ways. Their First name, or do it last name, first name.
8- We ask that you do not advertise outside of the Advertisement board, No PM advertising if any of this happens please report it to an admin. If you are found out to be framing someone and saying they are advertising this way then you will be permanently banned.
9- Any and all trolling, harrassing, and uncivil like attitude will be dealt with harshly. The First time, and only warning, you will be banned for a week. If it continues you will be permanently banned.
In-Character
1- No god-modding, meta-gaming, or Mary Sue-ing; if you don’t know what these are either PM me or use google.
2- Keep it PG-13—No sex scenes or nudity in-character. If you have to ask if this is appropriate or not it probably isn’t.
3- Your Role play posts need to be at 100 word count minimum, anything less has to be edited so it reaches that. More then 100 words though is welcome and we don't have anything but the actual proboards limit.
4- No chat-speak in forum.
5- We ask that you use proper grammar and spelling, this is an English speaking forum so please try to look a little more educated than a fifth grader (No offense to the fifth graders reading this). If need be I recommend typing your post in a word document as this helps you catch spelling mistakes. If you would like some help improving your writing please PM Apollo as he is going to college to be an English professor on the college level and is more than happy to help any who ask.
6- Posts can be written in First-Person, for those few who can’t write any other way, but if you can help it we ask that you keep your posts in the Third-Person. Once you start writing one way or the other please stay in the same style as it is difficult to read if you switch back and forth.
7- This is non-canon which mean no character from the show may be used nor characters made in their likeness. You may not use Canon face claims for your characters.
8- When creating a character DO NOT modify the formatting of the template at all we like out template as is.
Graphics
1- Both your Avatar and your Signature can be of your Face Claim. But cannot be of any other people, Canon or not, that you are not using yourselves.
2- No huge signatures—you may have one large pic no bigger than 500x250 pixels; or two mid size pics of 250x250 pixels. Text is okay but too much stretches the border of the thread and makes it look ugly so please use it in moderation or break up your lines if it stretches your thread when you post.
3- Avatars are to be 100x100pixels. Until such a time it is changed.
4- To center a signature simply put your text between center tags.
Example of center tags: [center*][/center*] without the *
5- Yet again NO NUDITY
6- You must have a Face claim…no exceptions and no double claiming unless twins.
Chat-box
1- Absolutely no spam the chat box is there for conversation and occasionally a few laughs not spam.
2- No Advertising—we have an advertising forum for a reason people.
3- No trolling—This is not tolerated and you will be banned till whenever I feel like unbanning you.
-Most Important Rule-
There will be absolutely NO DRAMA, friendly tormenting drama is okay if all the people involved are fine with it. If you created Drama by accident you will be banned for a full week, and this will be your first and only warning. Otherwise you will be permanently Banned.
