RULES
1. All Characters must remain on separate accounts, unless there are special circumstances. If unsure, message me. (NPC's do not count.)
2. Activity is a must!
- There should be at least one post per character every week, characters deemed "dead" or away for that storyline are exempt.
- If you are inactive for more than 6 accumilated months, including warnings and emails, it will be assumed that you have left the website and your character will be written off by your fellow members. You may feel free to return to the site after this but your character cannot be recovered.
- If you know that you will be away let an admin or mod know.
3. Mary Sues are prohibited.
- For details of what this is visit: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Sue
- Also, take the quiz to find out if you are: www.springhole.net/quizzes/marysue.htm
4. No out of character chat may be offensive in any way shape or form, nor can it degrade or bully the person in question.
- If your character is mean thats fine, but keep it IC.
5. There must be no god-modding.
- Meaning your character cannot magically know something,
- Your character cannot always be the center of attention: Learn when to take a backseat and when to add some drama.
- Your character cannot be overly-powerful.
6. No spamming;
- Consecutive posting that leaves a member behind for more than 6 posts is prohibited
- Posting one-liners everywhere is also prohibited: Quality over quantity, but if you have neither you suck.
- Mark all OOC chat within RP threads as such.
7. Admins and Mods will always be reasonable, but once a decision is made do not argue.
- You can appeal only to ME.
8. You must not upload viruses as any attachment
9. You must follow etiquette in posting
- This is basically common sense with plots ect. You cant trample all over someones plot , like god-modding;
10. The maximum avatar size is: width 100px and height: 100px.
- Sign images are limited to 500px width, 300px height
11. Due to the Proboards TOS, any content deemed "Adult" is prohibited, I'll leave it to you to decide where to draw the line.
-You may imply that something has happened, but other than that its a fade-to-black time.
12. Canon Characters: Unless dead or not around(within storylines only) then activity is a absolute must. Bi-monthly activity checks for canon characters will take place. If a claimed canon fails to be active, then the character will become available once more.
-New applicants for previously claimed canons will be required to expand upon the same storyline that a previous user has set out, so as to avoid confusion of stoylines.
These rules are subject to change, but members will be notified when they are updated.
If you see anybody breaking these rules, please come to myself or a fellow admin/mod in order to sort it out. Do not inquire further about your report, we will deal with it. However, if the issue persists, feel free to report again.
