The Rules

[Head Of Administration]

GENERAL RULES

1:: RESPECT. Be nice. I don't want any OCC harassment, bullying, insulting, ect. Everyone is open to their own opinion. Be grown-up on here. We're all here to have fun and enjoy ourselves. If you have a problem with someone, take it to PMs.

2:: REGISTERING. When registering, please register as the FIRST and LAST name of your character. No screen names, nicknames, and so on.

3:: PLAY BYS. Play-bys must be real life people, not drawings or computer generated. Anime PB"s are not allowed either, sorry. Once your character is accepted, please post in the face claim to make sure no one else can take your play-by. I'm not going to be hard about using people from Deviantart, emo kids, goth kids, ect. because there are people like that in the real world. Before registering your character, please make sure the PB you want is not already taken to avoid any mess.

3.5:: APPLICATIONS. You MUST wait two weeks after being accepted to begin working on your next character. We want to make sure that you're here to stay and that you can handle your first one before you get wrapped and tied in with another. You get three chances to fix and spruce up your application. Which means that we'll look at it three times and tell you what we think and let you fix it before we don't accept you. Just think everything through and read the accepted applications and it won't happen! (It hasn't happened yet and we hope that it won't. )

4:: SIGNATURES. Signatures must not exceed 230 in height and 400 in length, and avatars can not be larger than 100 in height and 100 in length. if your images exceed this limit, you will be asked to change it. As well, keep all signatures appropriate in what you use. No topless/naked women, and men can not be naked below the waist.

5:: YOU MUST BE THIRTEEN TO REGISTER! If you are below thirteen years of age, sorry, you cannot join. This is not our rule, but rather, this is the rule of proboards and part of the “Terms of Service.” If you are under thirteen, we, the administration and site in total, can get into some severe trouble. Please abide by this rule!

6:: NO OOC POSTING IN IC POSTS Sure, if you have to go and want to let someone know you are leaving, tell them SHORTLY in the post by saying at the beginning or the end, "OOC.....". There is an OOC board for you to use to talk OOC. If there is a MUST for posting OOC in IC topics, you must make it noticeable that it is OOC. Ways of doing this are brackets, double parenthesis, or other ways that make it obvious.

7:: DO NOT STEAL THE SITE WORK! The work on this site is copyright to the members, being that their work is their work and not yours. If you wish to possibly use something on the site, please ask for administration permission and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

8:: HAVE FUN! This is the most important thing. Please make sure that you have fun and enjoy yourself. There are rules for a reason, but we want you to have plenty of fun so that we can have a nice enjoyable RP environment.

IN-CHARACTER RULES

1:: The minimum requirement for posts is 400 words AT THE ABSOLUTELY MINIMUM. That's an easy three or four paragraphs, so I hope to see everyone able to make that. I understand that muse is evil sometimes, but everyone is only allowed two warnings before they are suspended from the site. If you keep messing up, you will be banned from the site.

2:: All posts must be in third person. Such as: he walked down the street and sighed. Not: I walked down the street and sighed. I don't care if your character bio's are in first person, but all posts must be in third.

3:: No Godmodding or Powerplaying. If in a fight scene, you may not control another character besides your own. There are powerful characters, yes, but there are no gods.

4:: Cussing....I don't want the f-bomb every other word. Occasionally is fine.

5:: Please strive to use proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Remember, we are an intermediate/advanced site.

6:: If you do not have a specific format for your RP posts then please, at minimum, post 2 icons at the top of your posts (one of your animal and one of your human). The icons can be the ones found in your application. For example, in this post, Jessi would post her two icons at the top but Karter wouldn't have to because he has a set format already. Any questions about this should be directed to Head of Administration

7:: Unless you absolutely[/u] cannot read the size, please post in font 1. It makes the entire site look nice and clean.

(You understand all this? (for your application:marco polo!) These can change at any time and when it does you are expected to follow the new and/or improved rules.)[/size]
