Rules

[cloven]

We know how much everybody hates rules, however, they must be announced. We hate having to think we must state them, but we wish as little confusion as possible.

We believe in the utmost respect towards everyone whether they are a staff member or a registrated member. Everyone deserves respect. Now, this also means that you must listen to the staff. A staff member will be be categorized as an Administrator or a Global Moderator. They will enforce the rules. The staff will put up with intolerable members or even guests at. Disrespecting a staff member could get you kicked out immediately.

This does not mean you need to be at least eighteen. This means you need to have a mature mindset. We do not mind if you are a silly or crazy person. As long as you
realize that you need some maturity in life you should be fine. We would very much like that you are at least thirteen before you join.
Our role plays are to stay PG-13 and below at all times. When you speak out of character, you must keep it to a PG-13 conversation. If you are going to argue, keep nice or else we will kick you off with no warning. We have younger members on this site. There will be no mature content over PG-13 whatsoever.

This is highly looked down upon in both the role playing setting and just a chat setting. We consider ourselves literate to several degrees. We do allow the occasional "lol" and smilies. If you really have to go, we will allow the occasional "g2g" or "brb" but do not over use it. It gets rather annoying after a while. Other than these few exceptions, we will not tolerate such illiteracy.

If you are to be part of this forum, you are required to read and to know how to read. We require that you read every post made by a staff member that has posted something information related. You mist read all information about something before you Post. We may not have magical powers, but we can tell when you have not read something.

In role playing, we have certain expectations in a reply. We expect at least 200 words so that those role playing with you will have something to work with. At the beginning of a certain role play, there may be a word set or paragraph set that you must followed, however, if that is not specified, you are required the 200 words. We are highly against "one liners". We may let it slide occasionally, but it will not slide long. Now, this is not being harsh at all for 200 words is not a lot. Elaborate, show us what your character does, where you are at, how the character feels. Do all of this and you may find you have more than our minimum. The more the merrier. If you find yourself with more than the minimum, do not be worried. Write as much as you would like.

Everyone enjoys their own, personal signature, but we do have some restrictions. your signatures may consist of words and/or pictures. Your picture must be been too large. We do not have a certain limit it may not exceed, so please contact an administrator if yo do have a question another it's size. Your signature must be appropriate and within our PG-13 limits. You may have anything you wish in there, thigh we would prefer that it had something to do with the site, a role play you are a part of, you, or a combination of them all. Again, if you have any question, please ask an administrator.

We speak English here, so to effectively communicate with each, we do ask if you were to speak the same language. In reference to language, we do not allow you to curse at all unless in the thread it is established in the first post that it is allowed. Little things are okay here and there within these certain threads. We will not allow every other word to be a curse word. We would prefer if you could restrain yourself from cursing at all. There are younger members on this site who do not like that. If it is not specified, then please follow these rules and do not curse whatsoever.

C H A R A C T E R **
We require that you have made your character and it have been accepted before you begin to role play. We must accept your characters first for several reasons: we wantto make sure your character is appropriate for the "world" he/she will be in, to see if you have all information required for each world. Of your character does not fit, your character will most likely be rejected. If your character is indeed so, do not fret; just redue it so that it may fit.
Now, the character information required will differ depending on what role play this character is being used for and who made the rules for that role play. You may add information all you want as long as you have that which is required.

Nobody likes a troll infesting their forum. What is a troll? That is someone who spams, is incredibly rude, and is disrespectful of everyone and the rules. Trolling is not acceptable at all. Guests trolling will be warned once. Members trolling get no warning; we expect our members to be better. We will be forced to remove you from the forum if you troll.

Avatars, as all images, must be appropritate. They can be Whateve you wish them to be as long as they are no more than PG-13 and do not exceed a their size limit of 100 pixels in width by 100 pixels in height. We would prefer your avatars did not move very much because they can cause some people to have headaches. Water moving, slight changes, and so forth are acceptable. If you have a question, ask a staff member. If you really want to know, you may ask Miss Alice; she is an expert in headaches and migraines.

The same rules from everything else applies to here. We will be a little bit more lenient on the chat speak there, but not much. Don't troll, be respectful and nice. The avatars will automantically be resized. Please, no flashing picures. Same rules apply from he other avatars. Any question, and contact a staff member. Please refrain from role playing in the cbox; it can become very confusing when to do. Do not advertise in the cbox, there is a place for you to do so.
Please use your name you use as your member name so we know who you are.

A D V E R T I S E **
We have a category designated for you to advertise your different sites. If you are a guest who wishes to advertise, we would like that you just advertise as a guest with whatever name you wish and do not make an account. Please make a different thread for your own site.
We will allow any type of sites to be advertised as long as yu do not say anything inappropriate. You may explain that here it may be rated R or what not, bu we are still rated PG-13 here.
Do not advertise anywhere else except in the advertisement category. You will be warned if you do not obey these rules.

Rules may be added, modified, or deleted as necessary.
